Wiggins will lead a team that optimizes the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence to improve outcomes company-wide, from maximizing advertising and subscriber revenue to creating unique and personalized experiences for users.

We are in this turning point between a regime based on cheap energy, physical goods, mass production, the assembly line and that has major implications for how we think about strategy.

The AI X Leadership Summit is designed for executives and technical leaders navigating the complex realities of AI adoption, governance, workforce transformation, and innovation.

In 2019, things were looking up for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who had just ascended into the House Democratic leadership following then-Rep. Joe Crowley's defeat. Jeffries has helped keep the Democratic conference united amid many fractious Republican speaker vote sagas, and he could become the nation's first Black House speaker after the midterms.

Last year, he and a partner, Matt Stang, purchased High Times, a fifty-plus-year-old cannabis culture brand that had fallen into receivership, for three and a half million dollars. They are in the process of reviving the High Times print magazine, which once published Charles Bukowski and William S. Burroughs, as a quarterly. The relaunch issue, featuring the rapper Rick Ross on the cover, is out this month.

Founded by Oliver Thomas, the ATN Summit is the first flagship conference of the Archi-Tech Network, marking five years since the platform began as a grassroots initiative to share real-world architectural knowledge. Taking place on March 18-19, 2026, in London, the ATN Summit brings together architects, technologists, and industry innovators to explore how emerging technologies are reshaping architectural practice. Designed as a high-production, ideas-driven event, the Summit reflects ATN's evolution from an informal online conversation into a global platform actively engaging with the future of the built environment.

Apply to lead a roundtable session Roundtables at TC Founder Summit are built for depth, not decks. Each session is a 30-minute, informal discussion led by up to two speakers, with no slides or video - just meaningful dialogue and practical insight. These intimate conversations create space for founders to ask real questions and connect directly with experts who've been there before.

"M&A is high on the agenda," said Sharon Marcil, North America chair at BCG. "We're hearing it from so many CEOs."

Runway, a generative AI platform for creating and editing videos, images, and multimedia content using text-to-video and related AI models, has raised $315M in Series E funding led by General Atlantic. Founded by Alejandro Ortiz, Anastasis Germanidis, and Cristobal Barrera in 2018, Runway has now raised a total of $859.5M in reported equity funding. Garner Health, a healthcare benefit platform for finding high-quality in-network doctors, has raised $118M in Series D funding led by Kleiner Perkins.

The display isn't necessarily based on the communication style of the leaders of these titans. Huang and Nadella, for example, tend toward a thoughtful and moderate discourse, and even the hyperbolic Musk was relatively restrained in his conversation with Larry Fink (BlackRock) on the main stage in Davos. But the flexing of muscles is evident in the arguments presented, in conjunction with the data.

That model no longer fits how tech leaders work today. Over the past years, I have spent time in conversations with founders, executives, and operators who carry real responsibility inside their organizations. As a community builder, I often speak with them before they commit to attending events. Their questions are direct. They want to know who will be in the room, how discussions are structured, and whether the environment allows honest exchange.
