Rokt Innovation, Technology & Agility

What is the unique story that you feel your company has with AI? If you were writing about it, what would the title of your blog be?
If I had a blog, I’d probably give this article a title with a corny pun like: “AI Everywhere All at Once.” The story goes, one day, everyone at Rokt woke up and had access to some new AI tool. Shortly after, we all woke up to access instructions for another one, and shortly after that there was even more. The cycle continued and suddenly everyone was just a few keystrokes away from the best tools the industry has to offer right now. Rather than deciding which tools should be licensed, Rokt decided to give everyone access to everything and let each individual decide where the best allocation of value is.

The collaboration across the organization that made this shift feel so sudden was truly a sight to see. I’ve never seen a collective effort to democratize access to tooling and information like this in my career and I’m proud to work with people so passionate about leveling the playing field for experimentation and upskilling across the entire organization. Legal, privacy, access management and a multitude of other considerations were handled with speed and care, each with the objective of enabling the individual to do more.

What are you most excited about in the field of AI right now?
I’m fascinated by how much individuals can now learn as the time and resources needed to fail decrease.
The quicker someone can break something, uncover a bias or test a rough solution, the quicker they can solve for the realities they face. Staying critical and curious is essential as we navigate new paths to information and rapid prototyping — we have everything to learn when nothing goes as planned.
What adds to that fascination is the scale of accelerated iteration. With just an internet connection, people can access powerful tools that fuel creativity and redefine how we build technology. As learning curves flatten, more individuals can take innovation into their own hands. I’m excited to see what creative minds from anywhere in the world will build.

From an industry perspective, as monetary barriers fall, I’m interested in how value transfer evolves. With more individuals able to craft bespoke solutions, even industries without strong technical foundations have an opportunity to modernize through experimentation, learning and speed.

How do you learn from one another and collaborate?
Continuous learning on my team is a byproduct of each person’s commitment to creating a safe, level environment for communication.

Most days, you’ll find teammates gathered in small groups solving problems we’ve never seen before — huddled around a desk investigating anomalies or debating solutions to issues in our processes or documentation. We support each other, ask intentional questions and spend real time trying to understand one another. That foundation of trust is what allows us to navigate the unknown — together. We share what we learn with sincerity and with a genuine drive to lift each other up, constantly pushing into new frontiers as a team. It’s a formula for resilience in a world where how we work is changing fast. As the mediums for collaboration and communication evolve, we rely on each other — not hierarchy — to move forward. The new wave of AI tools is just another unknown we’re solving for side by side, with emphasis on together.
