The problem isn't the technology—it's strategy. Andrew Quillen has led AI product experience at Spotify, translated early GPT research into products at OpenAI, and designed AI systems at Coinbase. Now advising Fortune 500 leaders, he shares how CEOs can separate durable strategy from hype, why organizations keep burning cash on poorly conceived initiatives, and what executives should do first when the technology is moving faster than their institutions.
