"Take Me Home, Country Roads" has been my favorite song for 20+ years. As the U.S. celebrates its 250th anniversary, it's been incredible to watch this West Virginia classic become an anthem of the FIFA World Cup, bringing fans from around the world together & creating memories.

Successful trip to D.C. this week for @USISPForum's Annual Leadership Summit. When we founded USISPF 10 years ago, many thought our vision was too ambitious. Today, the results speak for themselves, & the greatest opportunities are still ahead. Let's dream bigger together.

Deeply honored to have written the foreword for @RagyThomas' new book, The Enterprise Brain. This isn't a book about AI hype. This is a must-read playbook for leaders focused on implementation, execution, & results in the AI era.

In my next #AICorner – my monthly series on LinkedIn where I unpack some of the biggest news in AI & why it matters – I'm breaking down the new Executive Order on AI, SpaceX's record-breaking IPO, & Nvidia's new cooling technology. https://t.co/GKelvKWelN

Pleased to share my POV with attendees at @BBGIntelligence’s Generative AI Forum. AI is moving from experimentation to execution. The companies that win will be the ones turning AI into measurable productivity and competitive advantage now.

[John T. Chambers @JohnTChambers]

Great discussion with my friend @ShereenBhan of @CNBCTV18News on India, AI, and the next wave of global innovation. The winners will be those using AI to drive productivity, reskill teams, and deliver measurable outcomes. The U.S. & India can win together.

Governance, compliance & trust aren't optional in the AI era. @JC2Ventures Partner Yvette Kanouff's latest "CIO Two Cents" blog (feat. insights from David Hirsch @McGuireWoodsLLP) explores how leaders can balance opportunity w/ responsible implementation:

Spoke with @saraheneedleman at @BusinessInsider about how AI is changing entry-level work. AI can make people faster, but it can’t give them experience. The companies that win will use AI to build stronger teams & the next generation of leaders.

For my latest #AICorner, I share my perspective on Google’s AI momentum, @Anthropic's workplace adoption, and AI’s impact on entry-level jobs. The takeaway? AI is moving from experimentation to execution. Full post on LinkedIn. Let me know your thoughts. https://t.co/jXTDbBIdzr

In 2025, I predicted cybersecurity would be a top 4 priority for CEOs and boards in 2026. Recent headlines around Claude Mythos, Canvas and Google’s AI threat reports reinforce that cybersecurity is not just an IT issue. It is now about trust at scale.

#TBT to a powerful conversation @hgse’s Dyslexia IRL conference. One lesson I’ve learned through dyslexia and leadership is no one succeeds alone. Mentors, educators, families and role models matter. So dream big, build your community and never let anyone define your potential.

[John T. Chambers @JohnTChambers]

AI is not the next dot-com crash, as I shared with @FortuneMagazine. While there are parallels with the early stages of the internet, AI's speed & scale is vastly different. The takeaway for CEOs: move quicker or fall behind.

.@JC2Ventures-backed Reps CEO Bhakti Vithalani recently participated in @GoogleDeepMind's Startup Night at Google Cloud Next '26, as one of a small group of #startups invited to demo. The companies that win the next decade will be the ones whose people & AI execute together.

[John T. Chambers @JohnTChambers]

AI is accelerating cyber risk at machine speed. LLMs now enable bad actors to find & exploit vulnerabilities faster than ever. As @rubrikInc CEO @bipulsinha points out, this is a wake-up call for CEOs, CISOs & the Board. Cybersecurity can’t stay reactive.

Congratulations to Yvette Kanouff on being named to the "Above it All" list of the 2026 @Cablefax CFX 100 - a "who's who list" of only 16 in the world! Well deserved!

As Chairman of @USISPForum, I keynoted the inaugural @UC San Diego U.S.-India Forum. Since USISPF launched nine years ago, the U.S. and India have built something that has exceeded the most optimistic projections. With AI reshaping everything, the best is still to come.
