Siva Chidambaram on the AI SuccessFactors Podcast
“The critical components of our playbook are a centralized backlog and staffing the team with internal resources who understand the culture and operations.” — Siva Chidambaram, VP – Cloud, Data & AI, Trellix
In this powerful episode of the AI SuccessFactors Podcast, host Samuel Matthew sits down with Siva Chidambaram, a leader who has built and scaled AI inside a private equity–backed global cybersecurity SaaS enterprise. Siva brings decades of experience across hyperscalers and PE-backed operating environments, offering a rare dual perspective on what high-velocity AI transformation really requires.
