Kimberly Williams is CEO of Absorb Software, where she helps over 3,000 organizations deliver smarter learning experiences to 34 million employees. She brings decades of leadership in enterprise tech and now sits at the center of how AI is changing the way people grow at work. In this episode, Kimberly shares how learning becomes more powerful when it’s personalized, embedded in daily workflows, and led by curious teams who treat culture as a competitive advantage.

In this conversation, we discuss:

How AI is shifting corporate learning from generic training programs to personalized, in-the-flow development tailored to each employee’s needs.
Why in-context learning matters more than traditional courses, and how AI coaching inside tools like Slack, Salesforce, or ServiceNow changes how people actually learn at work.
What it means to turn L&D teams into AI model trainers who encode company culture, values, and knowledge into coaching experiences.
How Absorb Software tracks AI usage across teams and uses dashboards and leaderboards to drive internal adoption.
The role of outcome data in modern learning systems, and how tying learning directly to performance metrics changes what training gets delivered.
The advice Kimberly gives early-career talent, especially women, about finding roles where their contributions are measurable and their growth is supported by culture, not just credentials.

362: How AI Is Transforming Chip Design and Solving the Engineering Shortage with Faraj Aalaei, Cognichip CEO

Épisode 362

lundi 17 novembre 2025 • Durée 46:56

Send us Fan Mail

Faraj Aalaei is the Founder and CEO of Cognichip, an AI company building the world’s first Artificial Chip Intelligence (ACI) platform to design semiconductors using AI. He brings four decades of experience in communications and networking, having led two companies (Centillium and Aquantia)through IPOs. Aquantia was later acquired by Marvell, where he also held an executive role.

Prior to that, Faraj was Co-Founder and CEO of Centillium, which went public on NASDAQ just three years after its founding, the fastest IPO ever for a semiconductor company.

He holds an honorary Doctor of Engineering from Wentworth Institute of Technology, where he also earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, along with an MSEE from the University of Massachusetts and an MBA from the University of New Hampshire.

In this conversation we discussed:

Why chip development cycles are trailing AI applications by years and how that disconnect leads to inefficient infrastructure and higher energy costs
How AI could help democratize chip design by enabling smaller teams outside traditional hubs to build customized, application-specific hardware
What Faraj sees as the real barrier to innovation: the time and cost of chip development, and how Cognichip is reducing both through compute-led design
How AI can augment, not replace, engineers by offering transparent, explainable design suggestions while keeping humans in the loop
The coming talent shortage in semiconductor engineering and how AI might close the skills gap and unlock new opportunities for nontraditional builders
Why every major technological shift creates more opportunity than it destroys, and how Faraj sees AI enabling people to work on more meaningful problems
