Best practice collaboration to equip your organization with people-improving factors to succeed this year
We'll keep things fairly informal, but will make sure to cover the following:
Introductions and a brief spotlight on Ahmed Bashir, the CTO at DevRev (the $1.15 billion AI platform behind Enterprise-Bench, the first open benchmark for enterprise AI agents) and previously a 12-year engineering director at Apple, to stage the conversation.
Group roundtable discussion focused on why the gap between what AI promises and what it actually delivers tends to show up in the handoffs between teams rather than in the technology itself, and what leaders are doing to close it.
Q&A and best practice collaboration on how peers are drawing the line between what AI handles and what their people own, and what it takes to keep trust and oversight intact as adoption spreads across the business.
Ahmed spent 12 years as a Director of Engineering at Apple, building the cloud behind iCloud, Messages, FaceTime, and Push Notifications, delivered worldwide across every Apple device. He now leads global engineering at DevRev, the $1.15 billion AI-native platform founded by Nutanix co-founder Dheeraj Pandey.
He recently led the release of Enterprise-Bench, the first open, vendor-neutral benchmark for enterprise AI agents, independently validated by UC Berkeley professor Alex Dimakis and now open on GitHub to any vendor or researcher willing to post a score. Ahmed began his career at IBM Research, where his continuous-availability storage work shipped to production, and holds bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science from UT Dallas.
Brian has spent more than a decade inside the companies that reshaped enterprise infrastructure, moving from Commvault to Nutanix to Arctic Wolf before joining DevRev, where he works with enterprise leaders on unifying data that has been fragmenting across departments for years. His focus is what happens after the AI pilot: whether an organization owns the meaning underneath its own data, or has quietly outsourced it to whichever vendor got there first.
He hosts this roundtable series, built around leaders comparing notes on where agentic AI is producing results and where it is stalling. Brian lives in Englewood, Colorado with his wife and three kids, and spends most of his time outside work on ski slopes and golf courses.
Jason has spent nearly a decade building and managing one of the largest networks of influential leaders in the U.S., which consists of 12 sub-organizations that include CEOs, CIOs/CTOs, CHROs, CFOs, CMOs, and other Sr. officers from major companies. He is a Partner at CXO.org the Founder & CEO of Janium.io, where he has converted the process to build executive networks into a scalable system and software that enables others to grow genuine new relationships at scale via executive roundtables.
His background in neuroscience is the foundation for the process and his drive to create long-lasting connections between executives. Jason is an innovator at heart and enjoys the opportunity to travel, play basketball, golf, and go on outdoor adventures with his 5 year old son JJ.

CXO Roundtables was built with the single mission of "helping influential people meet, and develop relationships with other influential people". It is often these relationships that have a greater impact on our member's personal and professional success than any content we could provide.
DevRev is an enterprise AI platform built on Native Shared Memory, allowing its AI to reason across live product, support, and sales data instead of stale snapshots. Their approach helps teams resolve customer issues faster, connect the front and back office, and deploy AI agents that take real action without losing control or accuracy.
