  Sep 30, 202630 minS1

  On the 72nd episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, host Evan Reiser (CEO and co-founder, Abnormal AI ) speaks with Alexandra Guenther , Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Leidos . Leidos is a Fortune 500 science and technology company that operates globally with roughly 50,000 employees across defense, intelligence, homeland, health, and digital sectors. Alexandra explains how Leidos rebuilt IT support into a "service desk of the future," how she drives AI adoption by asking teams which task they never want to do again, and why she treats AI as an enablement layer rather than an outcome. Quick Hits from Alexandra : On measuring the modern CIO: "It's no longer about ROI, and it's no longer about, 'I'm going to deploy this technology in 24 months.'" On leading through change: "You cannot build resilience into an exhausted organization." On AI's real role: "AI is an enablement and it is not the outcome in and of itself."
