I warned you;o) CrMDB™ has arrived! Is your resiliency data AI ready? FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Riffle Resilience Launches CrMDB™, the Crisis Management Database Built to Make Enterprise Resiliency Programs Data Confident and AI Ready "AI doesn't have a model problem in resilience — it has a data problem," said Aaron Callaway, Cofounder at Riffle Resilience. "Every organization we talk to has an AI initiative, and nearly all of them are being held back by the same thing: a foundational database that isn't clean, isn't current, and isn't built for the questions resilience teams actually need answered during a crisis. We built CrMDB™ to fix that at the root."

A little over a month ago, I shared that I was heading back to work after five months of maternity leave - excited to reconnect, get back up to speed, and see what had changed while I was away. Turns out, a lot. 😅 One of the things I’ve been most excited to come back to is the momentum around AI and the conversations organizations are having about how to actually adopt it responsibly and at scale. Now, through NewRocket’s partnership with Anthropic, those conversations are becoming even more real. As companies move from experimenting with AI to embedding it into the way their businesses operate, questions around AI governance, security, risk, and responsible adoption are only becoming more important. If AI governance, enterprise AI strategy, or how to put the right guardrails around AI adoption is on your roadmap, I’d love to connect. Whether you’re already well into the journey or just starting to figure out what it should look like, please reach out - I’d be happy to be a resource. It’s an exciting time to be back. 🚀 Richard Stack Kevin Connolly Harsha Kumar Anthony Evans Frank Palermo Sean Iannuzzi

Today marks my last day at ServiceNow. After more than 2½ years, it's been an interesting journey—one filled with unique challenges, memorable customer experiences, and plenty of opportunities to learn. While every role comes with its ups and downs, what has stood out most to me are the incredible people I've had the opportunity to work alongside. I'm especially grateful to those individuals who made the experience meaningful and memorable. To name a few (and I'm sure I will miss some): Peter Goedegebuure, Steve Bates, Matt Porwoll, Melissa Atkinson, MISM, Bogdan Dejeu, PMP, ITIL, Waleed E., Pallavi Gadepalli, Scott Tuck, Mary Klug, Doug Penta, Maryann Potter, Freedom David, Carrie Kim, Brian Federle, Mike Spano, John Heuer, Laurel McDevitt, MPA, SPC, Chris McDevitt, Cami Burns Schaffner, Bianca Morgan-Brown, James Pollock, Craig Willey, Cutter Smith, Cynthia Seeley, Viva Pham, Ivan Martez, Renae Semple, James Rinkus, James Moore, Nicola Blakemore, AJ Close-- Thank you for your support, partnership, sense of humour, and friendship along the way. One of my biggest takeaways is that not every experience needs to be about climbing the next rung on the ladder. Sometimes, a role serves a different purpose. Sometimes it provides the space, flexibility, and stability you need to focus on what matters most outside of work. As I close this chapter, I leave with new perspectives, valuable relationships, and a deeper appreciation for how success can look different at different stages of life. Here's to the next adventure. #CareerJourney #Leadership #NewBeginnings #ServiceNow

Shared the stage at FutureCon CyberSecurity Events Orlando alongside CISOs Sanjay Deo, Kris Kistler, MS, CISSP and Luciano Ferrari. It was an honor to exchange perspectives on security strategy, the business of protecting the organization and the accelerating velocity of AI shaping our landscape. These conversations are critical as we continue aligning cybersecurity with business outcomes while navigating rapid technological change. A special thank you to Andrew Gaule for serving as an outstanding MC - your energy and presence made the entire day even more engaging.  And thank you to Kim Hakim for bringing together such an exceptional group of leaders and practitioners. Events like this truly highlight the value of collaboration across our community. AAA National #CyberSecurity #Leadership #promoteNprotect

Two weeks after getting laid off, I've become the busiest unemployed person I know, and, unfortunately, I know many. Thursdays have somehow become my day for announcements. Two weeks ago: laid off after twenty years in the ServiceNow ecosystem and twelve years at the company. Last week: Britt Bowman LLC launched. This week's announcement? I'm tired. In the 14 days since I left ServiceNow, I've booked 7 speaking opportunities, including one today. I have 2 equity advisor agreements close to being signed, 1 FTE role I'm embarrassingly excited about, and multiple executive search firms actively working my search. I've formed an LLC, built a website, set rates, drafted the contracts and invoicing templates to get paid for advisory and fractional work, and gotten accepted into multiple expert communities and board networks. I've taken founder calls, done advisory work, and said yes to almost everything. I have been in motion. This is what I do. When the ground moves, I build. I fill the calendar because a full calendar feels like evidence that I'm okay. Forward motion means I'm not standing still in something I didn't choose. What I did not do was rest. I've had more social interactions in 2 weeks than I typically have in 2 months. I'm an ambivert. I love people in doses. I exceeded my dose by about 6 weeks. I stayed too late at too many things. I said yes to the conversations that fed me and ones that drained me, because any conversation could turn into an opportunity, right? I ran on adrenaline, wine, and the specific energy that comes from knowing your future is both completely open and unresolved. And then I ran out of it. Last night I was supposed to go to book club. I love book club, but I didn't have a single social calorie left. My family had the evening sorted without me, so I flaked on book club, went to the nicest restaurant in my tiny town, sat at the bar, ordered scallops, broccolini, and prosecco, and read a book by myself. I don't remember the last time I took myself to dinner with nowhere else to be. Nobody needed me there. That was the whole point. And it was luxurious. Here's what my hypocritical mind keeps spinning on: my entire career has been built on helping organizations distinguish between motion and progress. I've built enterprise operating models around that idea, helped teams see that a full roadmap isn't the same as a working strategy, that a packed calendar isn't the same as a productive quarter, that activity and outcomes are not interchangeable, no matter how much we want them to be. I forgot that applied to people, too. The emotional recovery from something like this and the professional sprint to figure out what's next don't run on the same timeline. The opportunities will still be there next week. The conversations that matter won't disappear because I took a night off. Recovery isn't the thing you earn after the work is finished. It's one of the things that makes the work possible in the first place.

Early AI wins can be exciting, but they can also mask challenges around ownership, visibility, data, and scale. Join Prabhakar, Usman, and me on this webinar tomorrow for some practical insights on what works, what breaks, and how to bridge the gap between AI pilots and enterprise deployment. We'll cover: - Connecting planning and workflows for faster decisions - Improving visibility into AI initiatives and outcomes - Building a process that controls and governs the full AI lifecycle https://lnkd.in/gfyxftsG
