Additional Speaker Details

Using publicly available information we constructed an analysis to help you get a feel for this speaker before deciding to attend their session.

Martin Harrysson is a McKinsey senior partner (Bay Area office) who leads the firm's research and advisory work on AI in software engineering. Drawing on McKinsey surveys across hundreds of enterprises, he offers a practitioner's view of why most companies capture only 5-15% of AI's productivity potential in software development without operating-model change — and what shifts (AI-native workflows, smaller pods, spec-driven development, consolidated engineer-as-orchestrator roles) let top performers pull ahead. Expect a research-grounded, McKinsey-scaled perspective on moving beyond Agile toward AI-native software organizations.
