Opening Remarks by

Rita Scroggin, CEO and Founder Firstboard.io

Monica Nayar, PwC West Region Leader and Silicon Valley Market Managing Partner | PwC Cyber Risk & Regulatory Private Equity and Deals Leader | Board Member

AI is only the beginning. Open-weight models, AI agents, tokenization, quantum computing, cybersecurity, and emerging infrastructure are converging to reshape industries faster than most organizations are prepared for. This forward-looking conversation will explore the trends that will define the next decade — and what boards and executive teams should be doing today to stay ahead."

Moderated by: Vikas Agarwal, PwC's Advisory CTIO.

We instinctively ask whether a building is secure, a supply route is reliable, or a bridge can bear weight. We are less practiced at asking the equivalent questions about the digital systems on which our businesses now depend. This session examines the new fault lines of corporate resilience: concentrated technology dependencies, AI-enabled threats, cyber disruption, and quantum readiness.

Presented by: Tonya Ugoretz, Cyber and Risk Innovation Institute Co-Leader, PwC, former Assistant Director Directorate Intelligence FBI
