Cranbury, NJ, Feb. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dean Guida, author, entrepreneur, and CEO of Infragistics and Slingshot, today announced the launch of his new podcast, AI & Data Driven Leadership. Sponsored by Slingshot, the work management platform from software company Infragistics that brings data to the center of everything teams work on, the podcast will explore how AI and data-driven strategies fuel success in today’s dynamic, technology-driven business landscape through conversations with leading CEOs and tech executives.
Over the last 35 years, Guida has built his company, Infragistics, from a two-person start up to a global tech company spanning six countries and boasting a client roster that includes 100% of the S&P 500. Bootstrapping from the ground up has given him first-hand knowledge of how to face the challenges that come with navigating the ever-changing technology market. One of the main strategies that took his company from startup to industry leader was the development of a data-driven work culture which he wrote about in his recently released book “When Grit is Not Enough”. Now, with AI & Data Driven Leadership, Guida will connect with other leaders in the space to share how they are harnessing the power of data for their own success.
The podcast will spotlight a different executive every episode, and dive into how each is leveraging AI technology and real-time data to drive innovation and build a culture of proactive problem solving within their organizations. Throughout the series, Guida, along with his guest CEOs and business leaders, will give listeners valuable takeaways on the insights, strategies and values that drive success in today’s fast paced environment–ranging from the critical role of data literacy to the importance of building employees’ trust in AI.
“We’re living in an exciting era, a time where builders, leaders and entrepreneurs are using data and AI to fuel unprecedented growth, create groundbreaking products, and drive meaningful transformations in their industries,” said Guida. “We can all learn from each other and I’m looking forward to using my platform to speak with and amplify the knowledge of some of the brightest minds in the industry.”
New episodes of AI & Data Driven Leadership are scheduled to air on Wednesdays. The podcast has kickstarted with five initial episodes featuring Josh Elledge, Founder and CEO of UpMyInfluence; Jon Neitzel, Founder, and Bethany Schuttinga, Partner at Anduril Partners; Pete Sacco, President and Founder of Inspirica IT Solutions; Heinz Vieluf, President of Cibao Meat Products; and David Hersh, General Partner of Metamorph Partners–all of which are available at
https://podcast.slingshotapp.io/ and on major podcast listening platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
