Tech Disruptors

The tech DNA is what’s missing in the power industry, according to Intersect Power CEO Sheldon Kimber. “The fastest-growing technology the world has ever seen is now basically stuck behind one of the most boring and least innovative industries in the world.” In this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast, Kimber joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s head of technology research, Mandeep Singh, to discuss power needs tied to AI data centers and the infrastructure build-out by hyperscalers. They also cover power needs for training vs. inferencing, the various sources of power and how it’s stored for maximum efficiency, and being a disruptor in a field that can’t always wait for the government to upgrade the transmission system.

Front-end development is rapidly evolving, driven by large-language models, agentic workflows and serverless architecture — enabling smarter, scalable apps and blurring front- and back-end boundaries. In this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast, Vercel’s Chief Operating Officer Jeanne DeWitt Grosser joins Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Sunil Rajgopal to discuss the company’s go-to-market strategy, enterprise growth and revenue expansion. They also explore Vercel’s core offerings — ranging from managed infrastructure to developer collaboration tools and AI-native application development. The conversation highlights how Vercel is powering AI workloads through custom code-correction models, infrastructure upgrades and rapid prototyping with v0, while expanding globally to support both technical and non-technical users.

While the tech world watches Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s proposed acquisition of Juniper Networks unfold, Juniper is still moving ahead. CEO Rami Rahim joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s Woo Jin Ho to unpack how Juniper is seizing the AI moment and driving market-share gains with cutting-edge innovations like 800G AI switching and Mist AI. From cloud data centers to campus networks, discover how Juniper is redefining leadership in AI infrastructure and network automation.

Data centers that are being designed today will need to accommodate IT technology of the future and remain viable during their 15-20-year life cycle. In this episode of Tech Disruptors, Vertiv CEO Giordano Albertazzi and Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior industrials analyst Mustafa Okur talk about the evolving power and cooling needs of data centers and whether a changing use case from training AI models to inference may reduce infrastructure equipment demand. They also discuss the next wave for data-center infrastructure demand, how the next upgrade cycle could be different and when liquid cooling might become the dominant category in heat rejection.

Stack Overflow has long been the go-to platform for developers to learn, collaborate and solve coding challenges. In this Tech Disruptors episode, Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Sunil Rajgopal speaks with Stack Overflow CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar on how generative AI is reshaping developer workflows and platform strategy. They discuss the company’s pivot toward enterprise use cases, including private knowledge sharing, agentic AI integration and data licensing. The conversation also explores major partnerships with AI and cloud providers and Stack Overflow’s evolving role in a rapidly changing developer ecosystem.
