Leadership or Loss: Turning AI into a Core Business Capability with Andreas Sulejewski
AI is no longer just a productivity tool. The real challenge for today’s leaders is deciding when – and how – to trust AI with real business decisions.
In this episode of CXO Secrets, David McClelland is joined by Andreas Sulejewski, CEO and Co-Founder of Neptune Software, to explore what it takes to move AI from experimentation to execution. From co-pilots and citizen developers to autonomous agents, they discuss why governance, trust, and leadership (not technology) are the biggest barriers to enterprise AI success.
Andreas shares lessons from building Neptune on top of SAP, the rise of AI agents in business processes, and why organizations that fail to embed AI at the core risk falling behind.
Topics include:
– Why productivity gains are only the starting point for AI
– The leadership shift required for autonomous AI
– Moving from pilots to execution in enterprise environments
– Trust, governance, and AI at scale
– What 2026 could mean for AI-driven organizations
