Matt Dornfeld is the Senior Director of Global AI GTM at Commerce, the public holding company behind BigCommerce and Feedonomics, where he leads the effort to embed AI across every workflow in the revenue organization.

He covers why most teams sabotage themselves before they start, and what separates companies getting real outcomes from those chasing shiny objects. Why doing one AI use case completely beats running 50 halfway, and the FOMO that keeps pushing teams toward the latter The data-first framework: take stock of what you have, centralize it, connect the sets, and only then ask what becomes possible How top brands decide whether a new channel is worth the investment, and why focus is a competitive advantage most teams underestimate Connect with Matt: LinkedIn Follow us: LinkedIn | X
