CXO Fireside: Careers in GenAI & Cloud

Industry leaders share how to build a standout career in generative AI and cloud engineering.

CXO Fireside: Careers in GenAI & Cloud

A candid hour with three CXOs — on what they hire for, what they fire for, and the mistakes that quietly cap careers.

Session details

An open-mic conversation with senior leaders from a hyperscaler, a domestic cloud provider and a fast-scaling AI product company. Moderated by a VSI advisor; audience Q&A takes the second half.

  • How senior engineering managers actually read a resume in 20 seconds.
  • The 3-year skill roadmap for GenAI engineers (and why "prompting" isn't one of them).
  • Cloud specialisation vs generalist — where the compounding returns are.
  • Live Q&A: bring your questions.

Who this is for

Final-year engineering students, early-career developers and career switchers exploring cloud or GenAI roles. Seats are limited; livestream link shared post-registration.
