AI is everywhere in TMT — but in late 2025, the hype is fading and the real question is simple: what’s the ROI?

Rick Wilmot (ex-McKinsey) sits down with leaders from Bain (Ron Kermisch), Capgemini Invent (Karl Bjurstrom), Strategy& (Dan Hays), and Altman Solon (Gregor Eichler) to unpack what TMT clients want now — and what it takes to win offers in this space.

You’ll hear what’s changing across tech and telecom: the post-hype AI reality check, shifting talent strategy, telco capex monetization pressure, and the growing role of regulation in growth strategy.

The panel also gets practical on recruiting: what makes candidates stand out, how to show real depth in TMT, and how to start strong once you land the role.

Thrive Market just became the first major online grocer to drop alcohol completely, and the internet is cheering… but the business case isn’t what it seems. In this episode, we break down the real reasons behind the move, what the data actually says about drinking trends, and why households, not individuals, tell the true story.

We cover:

• Why “54% of adults drink alcohol” is the wrong metric for retailers
• The hidden logistics + regulatory friction behind alcohol shipping
• How Thrive’s branding strategy earns attention, even if the business case is thin
• The one customer-insight mistake we see companies make again and again

A fascinating look at strategy, consumer behavior, and the storytelling behind business decisions.
