The Rise of the CAIO: Holon’s Fireside Chat on AI Leadership

By Eric Postow

Holon is proud to bring its next AI event to New York City on August 7, from 5–8 PM ET, hosted in collaboration with EisnerAmper at their Midtown headquarters. What began as an intimate AI breakfast series in Washington, D.C. is evolving into a bicoastal dialogue on the future of AI leadership—this time over breakfast for dinner.

This gathering is an opportunity to engage in timely, strategic conversation about how Chief AI Officers (CAIOs) are shaping real transformation inside organizations today.

Fireside Chat: The Rise of the CAIO

Holon’s own Chief Strategy Officer and Chair of the AI Practice Group, Eric Postow, will be moderating a fireside chat featuring two distinguished AI leaders:

• Randy Soper, Former Chief of AI, Internal Revenue Service
• David Frigeri, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer, EisnerAmper

Together, we’ll explore:

• The emergence of the CAIO role as a strategic driver of business transformation
• How organizations can understand value creation and ROI in this new paradigm
• How the regulatory landscape is evolving, with states increasingly at the forefront of AI legislation
• And where we believe the AI market is heading next

Our conversation will cover strategy, governance, and execution in an era where AI is no longer optional.

An Evening of Community and Strategic Insight

Beyond the fireside chat, we’re excited to welcome an incredible group of business leaders, thinkers, and market makers for an evening of shared learning, connection, and perspective.

Whether you’re leading an AI initiative, navigating legal or regulatory shifts, or building toward the future, this gathering is designed to bring our community together—and move the conversation forward.
