On the 68th episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, host Saam Motamedi (General Partner, Greylock Partners) talks with Paul Beswick, SVP & Chief Information and Operations Officer at Marsh, about building production-grade AI tooling in days, why a portfolio of twenty small sequential projects beats three big flagship ones, and what the scaffolding around the firm's internal LenAI tool taught Marsh about agent harnesses and operational AI.

Quick Hits from Paul:

On staying current as a CIOO: "I code probably weekly if not more."

On building scrappy versus buying commercial: "We only lag by a few months, and it costs a lot less to do it this way."

On a new CIO's first three AI projects: "Break those three into 20 each and do them sequentially, one at a time."

Book Recommendation: Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake.
