Ep 149 - Microsoft deploys the FDEs (Kevin Shatzkamer)

Every telco has hundreds of AI use cases, dozens of pilots, thousands of agents. So why can’t they get to production at scale? I sat down with Kevin Shatzkamer, corporate vice president of the Telco and Media Engineering Studio at Microsoft Frontier Company, the hyperscaler’s new operating unit. His team embeds forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) at enterprise customers to build and run AI at scale. Links and Resources: Read the announcement of Microsoft Frontier Company —the hyperscaler’s $2.5B, 6,000-engineer bet on embedding teams inside enterprise customers. Learn about Frontier’s outcomes-first model , where success is measured by the customer’s business result rather than the product shipped. This is how Totogi builds: FDEs and twice-weekly capability sprints, feedback to shipped code by Thursday. Kevin mentions John Chambers, the former Cisco CEO who said, “the Internet will change the way we work, live, learn, and play.” Read his thoughts on AI’s impact , including moving five times faster than the internet, with bumpy jobs transitions along the way. Catch me with VIVA Bolivia CEO Ryan Alvarez at TM Forum’s Innovate Americas in Dallas on October 6, where we make the fast-cadence thesis concrete. Ryan runs every cell site as its own P&L on the Totogi Ontology . We’ll walk through the next-G upgrade calls VIVA is weighing right now. My advice to kids going to college in the Age of AI? Become an expert! Just like Mr. Miyagi teaches Daniel-san karate. Wax on, wax off. You can find the episode transcript here . Wanna talk AI and public cloud?
