Disrupt Yourself Before AI Does

In this episode of Built for Trust, Nick sits down with Gene Sun, Chief Information Security Officer at FedEx, to explore what it really means to lead through disruption. He has said that AI will not take your job, but people with AI skills will. We dive into that concept.

From his unexpected journey to the U.S. to overseeing massive shifts in infrastructure and cybersecurity, Gene shares how he’s navigated decades of change and why his philosophy is simple: disrupt yourself before AI does. He recounts the NotPetya attack that encrypted 50,000 devices in just five minutes, outlines how FedEx is using AI to streamline global shipping, and explains why asset management and incident response must move at machine speed.

If you’re a tech leader wondering how to stay ahead of the next wave of transformation, this conversation offers the mindset and practical insights you’ll need.
