Google, Facebook, Then Sierra | Bret Taylor

“If there's one lesson I wish I could give my younger self, it's to focus less on the technology and more on the customer need.”

Bret Taylor has helped shape how billions interact with the internet, and now with Sierra, he’s rethinking customer interactions through AI that feels more human.
