In this episode of AI First with Adam and Andy, IgniteTech CEO Eric Vaughan offers a candid inside look at one of the boldest AI transformations in enterprise software. After realizing that AI was an existential shift for his company, Vaughan led IgniteTech and its sister companies through a sweeping cultural reinvention that ultimately turned over 80% of staff to build what he calls an AI DNA organization.
Vaughan, alongside hosts Adam Brotman and Andy Sack, unpacks the messy middle of change, from resistance within technical teams to the importance of belief and mindset, and the challenge of moving fast without losing operational stability. He shares how IgniteTech’s teams now create new products in weeks instead of quarters, integrate multiple LLMs across workflows, and empower every employee to innovate through AI.
This conversation reveals what it truly takes to be an AI-first CEO, from funding experimentation and rethinking org design to cultivating a company culture where AI is not just a tool but part of every employee’s daily toolkit.
