Eric Porres wants to make you chief of staff

How does a 45-year-old hardware company like Logitech go all-in on AI? Eric Porres, Chief AI Officer at Logitech, has been inside that transformation from the start. After his company was acquired, he personally trained over 800 employees and built the playbook that's now scaling across a 7,000-person global organization.

Greg and Eric go deep on what it actually takes to move a large incumbent from AI-curious to AI-fluent: why AI labs and centers of excellence are a trap, why you can't outsource transformation to consultants, and how AI champions — not headcount — are the real force multiplier.

Eric says the most valuable employees will build the best team of AI primes to work for them. Hear how he approaches codifying your mental models and deploying them as agents.
