Jill Kramer learned to make weather maps by hand, found her footing on Madison Avenue and rebuilt a global consultancy's brand. Now she is asking what Mastercard's next chapter should feel like in an age of AI, agentic commerce and fragile trust.
When Breaches Cost Ten Million, ServiceNow and Accenture Bet on the Machines
On June 29, 2026, ServiceNow and Accenture announced a joint suite of AI-powered services designed to help enterprises migrate off legacy risk platforms and adopt agentic AI for cybersecurity and risk management. The offering pairs Accenture's managed security services with the ServiceNow AI Platform to deliver unified integrated risk management, third-party and operational technology risk management, proactive compliance, and an AI-powered migration path. The announcement responds to a threat landscape where U.S. data breach costs hit a record $10.22 million per incident in 2025 and AI is compressing the vulnerability-to-exploitation window from months to hours.
Noah Kotlove
Noah Kotlove is the co-founder and CEO of Berry Street, a New York-based telehealth platform that connects patients with insurance-covered registered dietitians and gives independent RDs the software to run their practices. He launched Berry Street in 2023 with Jesse Rose after his own experience with a dietitian led to sustained results where fad diets had not. Before Berry Street, Kotlove built Sobrietysoft, an addiction recovery app that grew to more than six million users, and worked as a senior innovation consultant at Accenture after graduating from Wharton. In February 2025 Berry Street raised a $50M Series B led by Northzone, with Sofina, FJ Labs, the founder of Revolut, the co-founders of Spring Health and Grow Therapy, and the CEO of Found also participating.
Travis Hess
Travis Hess is the CEO of Commerce.com (the company formerly known as BigCommerce), the publicly traded ecommerce platform he rebranded in 2025 to bet the business on AI-driven, agentic commerce. An agency and consulting veteran who spent 15-plus years scaling direct-to-consumer brands at Accenture, The Stable, and BVA before ever running a software company, he joined BigCommerce as President in May 2024 and took the CEO seat that October. He is candid to a fault about the hard parts of the job, once comparing the experience of watching the stock price to 'getting wedgied in front of the class every day.'
Anuj Bhalla
Anuj Bhalla is the founder and CEO of serviceMob, an Irvine, California enterprise software company that brings order to the chaos of customer service data. A UC Berkeley applied mathematician and MIT Sloan Fellow, he spent over a decade leading Accenture's Service Analytics Strategy practice and filing three patents before building serviceMob around a concept he calls 'Ontolytics' - analytics layered on top of a unifying data ontology to illuminate the 'dark, unexplored data' that hides inside support operations. He was named a 2024 CEO Visionary by the Los Angeles Times and his company earned a spot on MIT's STEX25 startup roster.
Nikhil Sethi
Nikhil Sethi is the co-founder and CEO of Workgrounds, a New York startup using AI to automate the slow, phone-and-email world of corporate hotel room block booking. He is a repeat founder: alongside Garrett Ullom he built the adtech company Adaptly from a Northwestern dorm room into a 200-person business serving brands like PepsiCo, Fox, and Domino's before Accenture acquired it in 2018. After running global programmatic services at Accenture, he reunited with Ullom in 2022 to attack a problem they had both lived through - the painful logistics of booking group travel - raising $2.6M to launch Workgrounds.
David DeRemer
David DeRemer is the founder and CEO of Very Good Ventures (VGV), the product and venture studio that built the Hamilton app - the first large-scale commercial Flutter app shipped outside of Google. With nearly two decades spanning Accenture, frog design, Chobani, and his mobile agency Posse, DeRemer bet the company on Google's then-pre-alpha Flutter framework and turned VGV into one of the most influential consultancies in the Flutter ecosystem, helping enterprises ship high-quality apps from a single codebase.
Jeff Elton
Jeff Elton, Ph.D., is the founding CEO and now Vice Chairman of ConcertAI, a Cambridge-based company building generative and predictive AI on the world's largest multi-modal oncology dataset. He grew the company from a 2017 startup into a roughly $1.9 billion business with about 1,300 employees, acquiring TeraRecon's imaging technology and ASCO's CancerLinQ network along the way. A former Accenture managing director, Novartis research COO, and McKinsey partner, he co-authored the widely cited book Healthcare Disrupted and chairs the MassBio board.
Mike Stapleton
Mike Stapleton is the Chief Business Officer of QbDVision, the Austin-based software company building a Digital CMC platform for pharma and biotech. He spent three decades moving between the lab bench, the boardroom, and the consulting deck - senior scientist at BP, COO at Accelrys, leader at Life Technologies, PerkinElmer, Merck, Microsoft, and Accenture - before joining QbDVision's board and then stepping in to run its commercial strategy. His argument is contrarian for a software executive: the bottleneck in drug development is not the platform, it is the people willing to standardize how an industry handles its data.
