Apollo's Adam Nahari: AI Pilots Won't Move the P&L — Six Moves for 10x Wins
AI Engineer · youtube · 2026-11-02
In an AI Engineer interview, Adam Nahari of Apollo Global Management explains why most corporate AI initiatives never show up in margins. Using an airline crew-scheduling desk as a case study, he lays out six moves: start from the P&L, pick one or two problems ("pick 1 problem, not 40"), assign a real owner, put tools in everyone's hands, and set kill metrics upfront. He distinguishes the "10% play" from the "10x play" and breaks AI value into three layers, arguing engineering is the smaller part of the transformation. The episode also promotes the upcoming AIE CODE summit in SF.
