It is time to celebrate the powerhouse voices shaping the future of data, analytics, AI, and global Analyst Relations! ๐
The mission of Talking Headless remains the same: spotlight the brilliant minds driving our industry forward. I've been continually inspired by the depth of expertise in AR, tech analysis, and strategic growth.
Join me, Shashi Bellamkonda, for a high-energy, no-fluff conversation with two exceptional leaders who bring decades of real-world impact:
- ๐ Shawn Rogers (CEO, BARC US) – An internationally respected analyst, speaker, author, and instructor with 28+ years in data, BI, analytics, AI/ML, and cloud. His executive roles at Dell, Statistica, Quest Software, and TIBCO give him unmatched perspective on the software and analytics ecosystem. Shawn was one of the first analysts I connected with outside Info-Tech—we clicked immediately, and I'm thrilled to have him as our analyst guest sharing his insights.
- ๐ Sneha Kapoor (Managing Partner, MEA and APAC, Kea Analyst Relations) – With 20+ years as an industry analyst, consultant, and strategic advisor, Sneha helps enterprises accelerate tech adoption and guides vendors (from startups to giants) on GTM strategy, revenue scaling, and global expansion. She engages C-suite leaders across regions and has held key roles at IDC, S&P, and NASSCOM. I met Sneha through the Women in Product Marketing group, and we've shared panels—her deep knowledge of Asia and the Middle East is invaluable.
What we'll dive into:
- Storytelling in the age of AI — Turning complex data/AI narratives into compelling stories that resonate with analysts, executives, and buyers.
- Global AR excellence — Navigating cultural nuances, regional dynamics, and building trust across MEA, APAC, and beyond.
- Proving AR value — Practical tactics for earning that "seat at the table" and demonstrating clear ROI in analytics, AI, and tech programs.
- The evolving analyst-vendor landscape — How AI/ML, cloud shifts, and data-driven decisions are reshaping interactions and strategies.
This is your opportunity to connect with peers, gain fresh perspectives, and gear up for what's next in our fast-moving field.
