This episode features an interview with Jim Jackson, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer for Hewlett Packard Enterprise. He oversees all aspects of marketing for HPE with an emphasis on accelerating the digital transformation of the company to be the Edge-to-Cloud Platform-as-a-Service company. Jim has more than 25 years of IT industry experience and is passionate about the use of technology to inform a customer-centric, data-driven, and digital-first marketing approach across all areas of the business.
In this episode, Kailey sits down with Jim (who subsequently announced his intention to retire from HPE at the end of October 2024) to discuss the importance of a customer-first approach, principles for responsible AI adoption, and implementing the right infrastructure for a seamless customer experience.

“It's like going to the doctor's office and you fill out the forms and it's like, ‘Come on. It's a digital world, I should be able to give you all of this one time.’ At the end of the day, our enterprise customers want a lot of the consumer experience that they get in their daily lives. They want it more automated. They don't want to have to integrate multiple different ecosystem partners. They expect that the experience from HP will be as simple as their everyday lives.” – Jim Jackson
