The Davos Debrief with Special Guest Nicole Sahin

On this special episode, join Pete as he catches up with Nicole Sahin, Founder and CEO of G-P, who shares an insider’s POV on the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. Together, they unpack what Davos is and what attending entails, and the value in the density of global CEOs, heads of state, founders, and policymakers converging annually on the small alpine village. Nicole shares what that proximity reveals about the direction of business, talent, and technology, and how geopolitical tension and macroeconomic uncertainty are shaping executive conversations. They discuss why business leaders worldwide are seeking stability, cooperation, and frictionless cross-border operations. They explore the evolving reality of global hiring and talent mobility, and how countries like India and the UAE are accelerating digitization to attract innovation and entrepreneurship, and what that means for governance, compliance, and cross-border employment in the years ahead. Plus, Nicole shares her lens on AI’s evolution from disruption narrative to enterprise reality, and why enterprise organizations are moving decisively to embed AI into HR, legal, and compliance functions. Including insights from G-P’s AI exploration and productization with G-P Gia.
