Podcast: Revenue Growth for Tech Execs. EDITION 13: Daniel Kube and Brock Simon

Perfection is the enemy of the good. In a world where “today is the slowest day you’ll experience for the rest of your life,” how do you price, package, and experiment fast enough to keep up? 🧠🚀 In this episode of Executive Conversations, servicePath™ CEO Daniel Kube sits down with Brock Simon to unpack how the world’s leading retailers and tech companies are really using agentic AI, customer data, and usage-based models to make smarter decisions at scale. Brock’s journey runs through dunnhumby (Kroger & Tesco loyalty and data science across the US, UK, and Asia), McKinsey, and Bain in San Francisco, where he’s helped global enterprises rethink pricing, personalization, data monetization, and AI-native decisioning. He explains why AI isn’t as “experimental” as many executives think, and how the real breakthrough is using agents to sit on top of existing models, workflows, and best practices. They dive into: How Kroger, Tesco, and Asia’s mobile-first markets shaped modern personalization and loyalty Why agentic AI is perfect for orchestrating complex pricing, promotion, and assortment decisions Human-in-the-loop vs full automation, and why augmented decision-making is winning in the enterprise New data monetization models for AI training, referencing, and usage-based access to high-value datasets How to build “playgrounds” for AI experimentation without breaking governance Practical rubrics Brock uses to test ideas: does it technically work, does it work for users, and does it drive real ROI? Career & leadership advice for the next generation of quants, builders, and operators entering an AI-first economy If you’re a revenue, pricing, data, or product leader trying to navigate AI, usage-based pricing, and exploding data complexity, this conversation will give you concrete ways to move fast without losing control. 🔗 Want to go deeper or explore projects with Brock?
