My guest this week is a County Cork man and a true AI visionary—Conor Twomey!

Conor is co-founder of AI1 and an accomplished executive leader with over 15 years of experience tackling the toughest data challenges for top corporations around the globe.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Conor for several years in New York, and am always struck by his positive attitude, how much he accomplishes in 24 hours (!) as well as how generous he is with his time. He’s a Dad of two, a n impressive runner, and he consistently goes above and beyond to help others, especially through mentoring and supporting young professionals in NYC. I’m incredibly grateful that he was able to carve out time in his hectic schedule to join me as a guest.

Conor’s career journey has been nothing short of remarkable. He was the former Head of AI Strategy at KX, part of the global First Derivatives, a global consultancy and technology firm that specializes in providing solutions for the financial services industry. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Newry, Northern Ireland.

Today, Conor is a sought-after speaker, known for his expert insights on everything from AI and machine learning to generative AI and next-gen data analytics.

In this episode, we discuss his career journey, the power of AI, and we also discuss how important mentorship is, running, and how sometimes saying “no” has been a game changer for his own health and wellbeing.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! Follow Conor on LinkedIn here! https://www.linkedin.com/in/conortwomey/
