OC CTO Talks x EvoNexus Irvine: Making AI Stick Beyond The Pilot 8/6/26

Most companies can run an AI pilot. Few can make it last.

OC CTO Talks and EvoNexus Irvine bring together three senior leaders for a candid discussion about the organizational and leadership decisions that determine whether AI creates real, durable value.

Join them Thursday, August 6 from 5:30PM to 8:00PM at EvoNexus Irvine at 101 Academy Way, #110 Irvine, CA 92617.

Boaz Brudner, Senior Director of AI and Cloud Engineering at Autodesk, brings over 10 years building and applying AI across startups and global enterprises including Cisco, Zillow, and Autodesk. He also advises AI startups on technology strategy and engineering scale.

Yen Anderson, Founding Product Advisor at Vortexa AI, led Microsoft through the early days of Copilot internally and has since guided organizations through AI deployments with her own consulting practice. She brings 26 years across high-stakes industries and a unique lens on why AI adoption succeeds or fails.

Will Li, Senior AI Solution Architect at Microsoft Innovation Hub, works directly with enterprise teams across healthcare, finance, government, and manufacturing to move AI from experimentation to production with measurable outcomes.
