Where AI Leaders Build What’s Next

Accelerate Your AI Strategy with Trusted, Cross-Functional Peers

When you’re charting new territory, the right peers make all the difference. Samudra AIX brings together AI leaders across functions — from CIOs and Chief AI Officers to product, strategy, and data leaders — to share what’s working now and explore what’s next.

This isn’t another passive network. It’s an active circle of enterprise executives, grounded in practical insight, open dialogue, and shared ambition. As co-leader of this community, I help guide our sessions and ensure that every meeting delivers value you can use immediately.

Why The Community Works: The Three Dimensions of Impact

The Samudra AI Innovation Exchange is designed around the needs of leaders responsible for enterprise-scale AI transformation. Our members consistently highlight three things they value most:

Farsight

See where the puck is going. Through research, ecosystem-wide discussions, and diverse perspectives, Samudra helps you anticipate how AI will shape your business — and your industry — in the months and years ahead.

Near-Sight

Solve what’s urgent. Members share practical solutions and lessons from the frontlines of AI deployment — from reskilling teams to aligning with the board. Each conversation is designed to deliver insights you can apply now.

Relationships

Expand your circle. Samudra connects leaders who rarely sit at the same table — technologists, strategists, creatives, and operators — in a high-trust space. These relationships often spark ideas and collaborations that wouldn’t happen anywhere else.

Connect with people who get it. Build trusted relationships with executives from across industries — technologists, strategists, creatives, and board members — all committed to using AI for impact.

Why Samudra AIX is Different

  • AI-Only Focus: Unlike general executive groups, this is exclusively for leaders building with AI now.
  • Cross-Functional by Design: Strategy meets engineering, product meets policy — we connect the silos others don’t.
  • Led by Peers, Not Vendors: No pitches. No panels. Just candid, high-trust exchange among equals.
  • Co-Led by Charlene Li: I’m in every meeting and conversation, sharing insights from my research, clients, and writing — and learning alongside you.

  • Virtual Sessions: 90-minute calls, six times a year, focused on timely, member-chosen topics.
  • Ecosystem Events: Multi-day gatherings across the Samudra network (two per year).
  • Executive Briefings: Custom updates for you and your leadership teams.
  • Research & Reports: Twice-yearly deep dives into systemic AI challenges and opportunities.

Who It’s For

We’re looking for senior executives with responsibility for AI strategy, development, or governance — including:

  • Chief AI Officers
  • CIOs / CTOs / CDOs
  • of Innovation, Strategy, or Data
  • Board members focused on AI oversight
  • Cross-functional leaders championing AI transformation

Testimonials

The best investment of time, knowledge, and networking I’ve experienced in a long time. Really enjoyed the thoughtful and well-planned experience.

Chief Marketing Officer

at an Enterprise Software Company

Regardless of the technology disruption of AI, thoughtful leadership skills are the key to navigating business and people challenges. We do not have to have all the answers, and we won’t—but it is our responsibility as leaders to ask the right questions to lead us and our teams forward.

VP of Strategy

at Fortune 100 Tech Company

There was so much learning—just a few examples: validation that how I’m thinking about a new model to implement change is on track with leaders’ needs; great perspective on where investor opportunities lie; and the importance of governance and redefining leadership roles in this moment.
