- 21 - Why Data Clean Rooms Are the Future of CPG and Media Collaboration
What do data clean rooms really do—and why should every CPG leader care?
In this episode of Applied Intelligence, I sit down with Puneet Gangrade—one of the leading voices in privacy-enhancing tech and data clean room adoption.
We unpack how clean rooms are transforming everything from retail media to supply chain visibility, and why every brand, publisher, and platform needs a long-term clean room strategy.
Puneet also breaks down:
How clean rooms evolved from pharma to ad tech
The hidden role of cryptography and trust engineering
Non-media use cases (QSR, loyalty, inventory, finance, CPG)
Why the real challenge isn’t tech—it’s politics, intent, and trust
What it takes to scale clean rooms (hint: org design and full-time owners)
The future intersection of AI + privacy—and what to watch out for
This is a must-watch if you care about data-driven growth, privacy, and cross-party collaboration.

- 19 - Why Most AI Strategies Fail—and What Execs Must Do Differently
Most execs operate on “vibe knowledge.” Here’s how to lead AI transformation with clarity and speed.
What do executive decision-making, eCommerce innovation, and AI implementation all have in common? They’re often guided by gut feel—rather than data. In this episode of Applied Intelligence,Chris Perry (Chief Learning Officer, firstmovr) and Oskar Kaszubski (Chief Growth Officer, firstmovr) pull back the curtain on what’s really holding companies back from meaningful change.
We go deep on:
The difference between core knowledge vs. vibe knowledge
Why retailers need to stop treating AI like it’s magic
The “Fourth Mover” strategy that may actually be smarter than being first
What makes AI operationally useful instead of just shiny
How retail media is breaking org structures—and what to do about it
Why incremental KPIs are killing transformation
What we can all learn from eCommerce’s last 15 years (aka the “training ground”)
Whether you’re a CPG exec, AI optimist, or digital transformation skeptic, this conversation is a must-listen.
