On the 58th episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (Abnormal AI) and Saam Motamedi (Greylock Partners) talk with Jaime Montemayor, Chief Digital & Technology Officer at General Mills. They’re reimagining what a food company can be by leveraging AI to reduce waste, tailor marketing, optimize supply chains, and accelerate product innovation. Jaime shares how strategic clarity, cloud-first infrastructure, and clean data enabled these AI transformations, and why being a hands-on, tech-forward CIO is essential to leading through change.
Quick takes from Jaime:
On operational AI scale: "As of today, we have thousands of those machine learning models running day in and day out in the company. And with those models, our teams have the benefit of being able to do predictive analytics to run their business on a day-to-day basis.”
On generative AI adoption: “Up to 30 percent of our workforce is using this new technology consistently. We have some functions like HR... the use rate goes all the way to 65, 75 percent... doing performance assessments or helping people develop specific development plans.”
On ROI and accountability: “In most cases, the value proposition is about driving efficiency, improving time to market, reducing cost, growing the top line. And what I’ve done is that I partner with my CFO... they keep the score for every investment that we make in our organization.”

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
