A failed restaurant, a move from Lebanon to Kuwait with no job, and a $2,000 first order that became a successful exit. Rami Kichli on building a regional business, leading Software AG in the Middle East and guiding a team through IBM's acquisition.

Rami explains how integration lets AI agents act, why enterprise data is the new fuel and what breaks when that layer is weak, with webMethods and StreamSets in plain language. He also shares how he led people through a 48 hour reset after the acquisition, and gives a grounded answer to whether AI will take jobs.
