What does it take to transition from leading intelligence operations in high-stakes environments to founding and scaling a cutting-edge AI startup? In this talk, I’ll share my journey from the military and FBI to building Tacilent.ai, a platform transforming enterprise risk and strategy. I’ll discuss the challenges of being a startup founder, including navigating funding, building teams, and balancing innovation with ethical AI. This session will inspire students with lessons on resilience, leadership, and using AI to tackle real-world problems.
