Summary
Robert is Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Vista Equity Partners, which manages $107 billion in assets as of year‑end 2025, and a TIME 100 honoree—TIME magazine’s annual list recognizing the world’s most influential leaders across business, technology, and society. He shares how enterprise software is evolving into agentic execution, why AI strengthens rather than replaces software, how “bringing the model to the data” reshapes economics, and why companies must continuously evolve their systems, culture, and decision‑making to stay relevant through periods of rapid change. - This podcast/webcast is provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal, tax, investment, or business advice.
