Fast is a software company with the mission of making online shopping faster, safer and easier — and it could hardly have better timing. With the global pandemic driving more commerce online, the technology is seeing higher demand. Cofounder and COO Allison Barr Allen is both driving innovation there and investing in early-stage startups at her fund, Trail Run Capital. We'll talk about the future she sees, and the trail she's run so far.

As IBM launches the z16 mainframe with the IBM Telum processor, I speak with SVP and Director of IBM Research Dario Gil about the relevance of mainframe technology. We also discuss IBM's progress toward achieving quantum advantage, and the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on the global innovation ecosystem.

Your ideas and drive have to be bigger than your current job. I ran across this video in preparation for some of my work this week. It's an interview I shot when I was writing for Fortune Magazine. It's Prabhakar Raghavan, who at the time was SVP of Yahoo Labs and search strategy. He's explaining how search was about to evolve in some major ways. He was absolutely right. Yahoo didn't mount a successful comeback in search. So what happened to Prabhakar? Well, he's now the SVP at Google responsible for Google Search, Assistant, Geo, Ads, Commerce, and Payments. And I'm now at CNBC, where I'm involved in a lot more video, which I believed 12 years ago would be a big part of the future of digital communication. Still shooting a lot of my own videos, though. 🤓 #forttknox #google #search #career #leadership #vision #innovation #video #archives #yahoo #growth #future #payments #commerce #strategy #advertising

A big moment for streaming at the Academy Awards this week, as CODA took home Best Picture, and Apple TV+ got bragging rights as the first streamer to capture Hollywood's highest honor. So does the Apple win vindicate its business strategy? I argue both sides in the latest On the Other Hand, on CNBC's Squawk Box: Subscribe to the Fortt Knox newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dq89AEzk #forttknox #streaming #apple #appletvplus #CODA #oscars2022 #strategy #business

What a conversation. Thanks, Jeff Frick, for having me on "Turn the Lens" to talk about broadcast, Fortt Knox, Fortt Media, my background — we covered a lot of ground.

Thrilled to release this article summarizing some of the topics Jon Fortt & I covered in this extended episode of 'Turn the Lens.' From his early days covering coal in Lexington, through Silicon Valley covering upstarts like Apple & Adobe, to his current role at CNBC interviewing the top business leaders of our day, Jon graciously shared his thoughts on leadership, media, and his lesser-known "The Black Experience in America" The Course by Jon. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. Thanks again Jon. #Leadership #Communication #resiliance #transparency #creativity #curiosity #purpose #mission #CNBC #ForttKnox #ForttMedia #TechCheck #OnTheOtherHand #WorkingLunch #PowerLunch #SquawkBox #TurnTheLens Nick Marcia Jennifer Amanda Bill Michele Kyle "KMo" Michael Melody Deepti Liza Bill Matthew Michael Hugo Keith Vittorio Vignesh Melissa Chris Evan Zoey Kris Darren Meg Ryan Dave Michael Wendy #business #experience #leaders #media #interviewing #Interview #Work #CivilRights
