Women leaders on generative AI at AWS Women Champions of Change – News

Generative AI is rapidly transforming the technology landscape, reshaping business strategies, streamlining operations and unlocking new possibilities for innovation. As companies navigate this shift, women in technology are playing a pivotal role in driving AI adoption, shaping strategic roadmaps and ensuring these advancements create meaningful value for customers.

One of the most inspiring aspects of generative artificial intelligence lies in its ability to enhance the human element within businesses of all sizes, according to Amanda Adams, vice president of Americas Alliances at CrowdStrike Inc. AI helps teams become more efficient while empowering them to tap into their expertise, augmenting their capabilities rather than replacing them.

“When I think about what is most inspiring about … the evolution of gen AI … [and] the possibilities for our clients and for our partners … I think about the human element,” Adams said. “I think about the teams and the customers from SMB to large enterprise, [about how] gen AI as we’ve built it into the CrowdStrike platform, but also in partnership with AWS, allows those humans to be … more efficient … to tap into their expertise and to really augment the humans.”

Adams and Val Henderson (pictured), president of Caylent Inc., and Dao Jensen, president of Compass UOL North America, recently discussed gen AI and how this groundbreaking technology is driving strategies, empowering customers and redefining the future. (* Disclosure below.)

Generative AI: Real-world impact and strategic advantage

Generative AI is enhancing efficiency, fostering innovation and empowering teams to focus on high-value work. Companies are using gen AI to scale operations, improve security and unlock future opportunities for growth, according to Adams.

“Gen AI is core and central to how CrowdStrike was founded and is part of our mission to stop breaches,” she said. “When you think about gen AI, and as we go to the future, and the vision and the strategy, it’s key to all of the pillars when it comes to protecting your cloud, identity, endpoints and data. Gen AI will make it easier for our customers to scale, to be more efficient as a team but also to make sure that they’re securing their both cloud workloads as well as traditional endpoints.”

Compass UOL North America’s Dao Jensen talks about generative AI at AWS’ Women Champions of Change event.

Gen AI is streamlining internal operations and enabling teams to focus on strategic initiatives at Caylent, according to Henderson. Tools such as Amazon Q are helping businesses optimize workflows and prioritize high-value tasks.

“Generative AI is changing the landscape, not only for Caylent, but for all of professional services, not only for our internal operations [and] for our developers … but also for our customers,” Henderson said. “We’re able to help them create more efficiencies and more time for their people to do the highest value tasks.”

For Compass UOL, gen AI is having a transformational impact in the healthcare sector, according to Jensen. Organizations are using AI to facilitate collaboration and advance critical research in areas such as neurodegenerative diseases.

“Everything ALS is one of our clients … and is a non-profit in the healthcare space,” Jensen said. “Opening up the barriers with generative AI to gather data from the biopharmas, the hospitals, the clinicians and the patients … to share and try to cure [or] prevent neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. This is going to be what solves and cures these diseases — not in the labs, but in the data center.”
