Most companies don’t have an AI problem. They have a “who sets it up” problem
At a Vistage session this week, Severin Sorensen named the role he thinks every company will need: the forward deployed engineer. Part business advisor, part builder. Someone who learns how your business actually runs, then turns it into AI workflows your team can repeat.
That person probably isn’t on your payroll. And for a 50 or 500 person company, they don’t need to be.
Two more things he said that every leader should hear going into 2027:
→ Breaking into a company now costs an attacker about $5. Cleaning it up costs around $500K. Plan your security budget with that math in mind.
→ The more you hand AI without structure, the more “assumptioneering” you get instead of engineering. Output that looks good isn’t the same as output that’s right.
That’s the work our experts do. Scope it right, build it with guardrails, and lock it down.
Thanks to Severin for a session full of things we’ll be using at Hivemindd
I'm Matt Sanchez, CEO at Hivemindd.
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of technology, sales, and leadership. Helping organizations navigate complexity, drive growth, and protect what matters most. Along the way, I saw a consistent pattern: brilliant experts missing opportunities, disconnected and businesses struggling to access the right talent at the right time.
That gap inspired me to build Hivemindd, a platform designed to redefine how expert work happens.
Hivemindd exists to empower experts, elevate emerging talent, and help companies solve bigger problems through collaboration, mentorship, and purposeful technology. We’re not just creating a marketplace, we’re building a movement that amplifies human potential and makes work more transparent, rewarding, and scalable.
I started Hivemindd because I believe careers grow when people connect with purpose, and innovation accelerates when expertise is shared.
