Re-Thinking Networking In the Enterprise AI Era

In this episode of Built for Trust, Nick Lippis is joined by Pablo Espinosa from IBM, a seasoned infrastructure leader whose 30-year journey spans from humble beginnings to overseeing massive hybrid cloud networks at IBM.

Together, Nick and Pablo explore how the definition of “scale” is evolving in the age of AI, why networks must now function as dynamic data exchanges, and how critical thinking—not just technical skills—is the superpower of the modern engineer. Pablo shares personal insights on career resilience, the importance of curiosity, and what it takes to lead through today’s third major tech inflection point: the convergence of cloud and AI.
