There’s a growing gap between what AI can do and what organizations feel comfortable approving. That gap is where most teams are operating today. In this episode of Turbocharge Tomorrow, we’ll explore how companies are navigating that gray area, especially in regulated environments where the rules are still evolving. Cirith Anderson, SVP of Risk Management at Rivermark Community Credit Union, will share how risk teams are thinking about AI today, and what engineering and data leaders need to understand to move forward with more clarity. If your team is building AI and unsure where the boundaries are, this session is for you. 🎙️ Catch us live on Thursday, May 21 at 10 AM PT.

AI capabilities are accelerating. But risk models weren’t built for this pace. In the next episode of Turbocharge Tomorrow, Cirith Anderson, SVP of Risk Management at Rivermark Community Credit Union, joins Ethan Cole PhD, to explore how teams are navigating AI risk while still shipping products. We’ll cover where risk actually shows up and how engineering and data leaders can move forward without waiting for perfect regulation. 🎙️ Join us live on Thursday, May 21 at 10 AM PT.

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us last week for Spilling the Tea in Tech: Cincinnati. 🫖 Thank you to our incredible speakers, Erin O'Brien, Ashley J., PMP, Cristine Cravens, and Lacey S., for leading such thoughtful, honest conversations around career growth, leadership, challenges, authenticity, and navigating the tech industry. We’re also incredibly thankful to everyone who helped organize the event and to all of the women who joined us ready to connect, share their experiences, and support one another. It was amazing to bring together so many talented women across the Cincinnati tech community in product, program management, and tech leadership. We’re excited to continue building community events like this in the future. Stay tuned. 🥂 #WomenInTech #CincinnatiTech #ProductLeadership #ProgramManagement #TechLeadership #Networking

AI is moving fast. Faster than most risk models were built to handle. Teams are already shipping AI features- copilots, automation, decisioning tools- but governance and compliance are still catching up. So where does risk actually show up? In the next episode of Turbocharge Tomorrow, Cirith Anderson, SVP of Risk Management at Rivermark Community Credit Union, joins Ethan Cole PhD, to break it down. We’ll cover: • Where AI introduces new risk (data leakage, hallucinations, bias) • Why traditional frameworks don’t apply cleanly • What “good enough” governance looks like right now If your team is building with AI and trying to move fast without creating unnecessary exposure, this session is for you.

Every data roadmap starts with good intentions. Then the requests start piling up. New dashboards. AI initiatives. Fixes. “Quick” asks. Before long, everything feels urgent, and prioritization turns into reaction. The teams that make progress don’t try to do everything. They focus on what drives decisions, outcomes, and real impact. That’s the difference between staying busy and moving the business forward. If your roadmap feels scattered, you’re not alone. It might be time to rethink how you’re prioritizing.

We get this question often: “Why Distillery?” The name comes from how we approach our work. Sometimes that means shaping a new idea from the ground up, and other times it means stepping into something that’s already in motion and helping teams focus on what needs to be built next. It’s a process of narrowing things down to what’s essential. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/dMu9Cw2s

Every team has that one thing that, if improved, would make everything else run smoother. If you had a magic wand… where are you using it? 🔮 #DataEngineering #SoftwareEngineering #EngineeringLeadership

Hiring one great engineer is good. Having them backed by a team, even better. When you work with Distillery, you’re supported by a broader team of experts who can step in, sense-check decisions, and help move projects forward. That means faster problem-solving, stronger solutions, and less time stuck on edge cases. We don’t hand off a resource and step away. Our teams stay connected, share context, and support each other behind the scenes. It’s a more collaborative way to build, and it leads to better outcomes for our teams and our clients.

Shipping faster… but fixing more bugs after every release? You start to see it in the process. Releases come with more rework, more testing, and more time spent fixing what just shipped. Engineers get pulled into validation, and QA becomes something that happens inconsistently instead of part of how the team operates. Sometimes it’s unclear requirements or rushed timelines. But often, it’s a sign that QA needs more structure and ownership. We put together a breakdown of when QA outsourcing helps.
