AI portfolios are expanding far faster than the ability to govern them across enterprises. Most organizations run a contested field of platforms, each claiming to be the “primary” AI layer; few could confidently detect a model drifting or failing in production; and the single most-cited barrier to control is the absence of any one owner…

Presented by Splunk Agentic AI is making IT and security teams dramatically more efficient. But it’s also removing the apprenticeship that has long produced experienced operators.

On today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Mireille Vega, also known as Dr. Mimi V, Founder and CEO of VGAM — a PhD biochemist, former biotech executive, and the pioneer behind Skin Science 3.0.
Mireille’s story starts in a Montreal drugstore, where she was a teenager standing in the skincare aisle trying to decode ingredient labels that made no sense. Years later, after building a career in immunology and biotech, personal health crises in her own family changed the way she looked at ingredients, trust, and what we put on our bodies every day. That journey led her to create VGAM, a skincare company focused on the skin microbiome and the idea that skin is not just a surface — it is a living system shaped by hormones, stress, inflammation, aging, environment, and real life.
In this episode, Dr. Mimi V shares why she believes skincare needs less marketing noise and more real science. We talk about Skin Science 3.0, what most brands miss about hormones, midlife, menopause, and sensitive skin, and why the microbiome matters. She also breaks down what consumers should question when they hear words like “clean,” how to spot skincare claims that don’t hold up, and what it means to build trust as a scientist-founder in one of the noisiest categories in beauty.
This is a must listen.

Most enterprise AI deployments so far have focused on coding assistants and customer service bots. Morgan Stanley has deployed agents in one of banking’s most accuracy-critical, deadline-driven workflows instead — profit and loss (P&L) reconciliation — and cut the work in half. The counterintuitive part: it got there by making the system less autonomous, not…
