From Productivity Myths to Boardroom Metrics: The Real Levers of AI ROI with 4 Enterprise Stories
In a world where AI is being deployed everywhere, the key question for CDOs and CAIOs is no longer whether to invest, but where to focus to maximize outcomes. In this keynote, Rémy Thellier argues that real AI ROI does not come from productivity gains alone. It comes from targeting the levers that matter most in the boardroom: reducing spend, accelerating revenue, lowering risk, and improving working capital. Joined by four leaders from Snowflake’s AI/ML ecosystem partners, Rémy shares four enterprise stories that show where AI delivers the strongest payoffs—and why. The pattern is clear: value is captured when AI is embedded in governed data foundations, integrated directly into workflows, and tied to explicit economic metrics. Designed for CDOs and CAIOs, this session offers practical guidance on where to place bets, how to avoid diluted effort, and how to move beyond pilots and “hours saved” toward faster time-to-value, safer scale, and durable ROI.
