In our first episode of The Intelligent Enterprise, host Tom Stoneman kicks off the series the way he means to go on: by getting inside a big idea, while stepping outside of it. This week, that big idea is preparing the workforce for AI, and Tom sits down with Ricardo Costa, Chief Technology Officer at Purolator, to explore it.

With nearly two decades leading technology and security teams, Ricardo has helped organizations through multiple waves of change. Now, as AI accelerates faster than any transformation before it, his focus is on giving people the skills and confidence to use AI well. Tom and Ricardo dig into the gap between AI expectations and reality, why upskilling can’t be a side project, and how strong teams and partnerships make change possible.

We also hear how Ricardo uses music and specifically makes AI-generated music as his own “outside the enterprise” ritual to reset and find headspace for better decisions.
