Throwback: Role Modelling Vulnerability with Kensho’s Bhavesh Dayalji

About this episode

Bhavesh Dayalji discusses the importance of vulnerability and allyship in leadership, particularly in the context of AI and work-life balance.

What does allyship look like when you’re leading a company?  For Bhavesh Dayalji, it often means being honest about the challenges of balancing work and family, and choosing to show up as a husband and father first.  This is a throwback episode, but Bhavesh’s reflections on leadership and allyship remain just as powerful today. Bhavesh shares how vulnerability can build trust and create cultures where people feel safe bringing their full selves to work. It’s a principle that extends to how he approaches innovation in AI. Bhavesh is the CEO of Kensho Technologies, an AI solutions provider, and also serves as Chief AI Officer at S&P Global.  1:34 Meet Bhavesh 4:46 Seeing inequality in tech 6:17 AI at Kensho and S&P Global 9:21 Lessons from the CEO seat 11:26 Why diverse voices matter in AI 15:41 Being real at work 17:43 Advice for newcomers in AI 19:43 Family and balance Links: Bhavesh Diyalji on LinkedIn Suchi Srinivasan on LinkedIn Kamila Rakhimova on LinkedIn About In Her Ellement:  In Her Ellement highlights the women and allies leading the charge in digital, business, and technology innovation.
