What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I've always been in technology and I probably don't foresee jumping industries. Tech is where all the innovation is happening; people build new things, fun stuff.
We're talking about AI, look at ChatGPT. That's going on and people are emulating that very quickly. The number of use cases is immense. Have you seen how much the world has changed in the last 20 years, ever since I joined Oracle way back two decades ago versus now? It's very different.
There's a lot of power in the hands of end users, but that also means there are a lot of risks as well. So it's kind of going through that innovation wave, which makes me very excited. What we will do two years from now will be very different from what we're doing today.
