AI Mastery Unleashed: NetApp CEO Kurian's Roadmap to Competitive Advantage in the New Age of Data

Insight and NetApp have partnered together for more than 25 years to help clients simplify how they manage the cloud and unlock the full potential of their data. For the third time in four years, NetApp named Insight as its Keystone^® Partner of the Year. The honor recognizes the top strategic sales and marketing approach to driving significant growth of NetApp Keystone, a Storage as a Service solution helping organizations manage data in complex environments.

So, it made complete sense to welcome NetApp CEO George Kurian to Mastery 2024, Insight's annual conference bringing 800 of the company's top technologists from across the globe to Phoenix to discuss the latest trends in technology. Insight CEO Joyce Mullen and Kurian took to the main stage to discuss AI's impact on the business world and how organizations should prepare for a new Age of Data.

Here are excerpts of their conversation (edited in some parts for clarity) …

JOYCE MULLEN: Thank you for being here. We appreciate your partnership. Thanks very much for making the trip to Arizona in the summer.

GEORGE KURIAN: Thanks for having me, it's great. I've been fortunate to work with your team for many, many years. In fact, one of my first visits when I joined NetApp was to Insight.
