Scott Collison and the Software That Has to Earn Its Place
A doctorate in anthropology took Scott Collison into the business of understanding users. After leading Personify through its acquisition, he is taking the same question to Fourth: how does the software fit the working day?

Jessica Reeves is the CEO and a board member of AxonIQ, the Utrecht-based company behind the Axon Framework and a unified platform for building event-driven, AI-native applications. She came up through HR and operations rather than engineering, spent roughly eight years at Anaconda where she rose to COO and helped scale the company into a $1.5B unicorn with $150M+ in ARR, and now argues that AI's lasting value will sit in its infrastructure layer - specifically in explainability, the ability to trace exactly why an intelligent system did what it did. Based in Austin, Texas, she frames event sourcing as the memory foundation that AI agents need to be auditable and trustworthy in the enterprise.
