#10 - Dr. Erin Bobicki | Decarbonizing Cement Production

Dr. Erin Bobicki has spent her career at the intersection of hard industries and climate impact, from mineral processing and semiconductor manufacturing at Intel, to founding a hydrogen company before turning her focus to cement. With a deep academic background in chemical engineering, Erin went from mine sites in northern Canada to building CURA, a climate tech company with a proprietary electrochemical process that decarbonizes cement production at the limestone stage. Erin walks us through her non-linear path from field engineer to academic researcher to multi-time founder, what it takes to commercialize deep tech in an industry that hasn't changed its core process in over a century, and her mission at CURA to make clean cement the default industry standard across the globe.

#09 - Rachael Ferrera | Heavy Civil Infrastructure: Modernizing the Industry

Rachael Ferrera has spent nearly two decades at Zachry Construction, a Texas-based heavy civil contractor that builds the highways, bridges, and waterways much of the country runs on. A civil engineer by training, Rachael went from estimating multi-year, multi-billion-dollar highway projects to leading the document management build and ERP transformation that now powers Zachry's work in AI, analytics, and innovation across the business. Rachael walks us through her path from the estimating desk to the innovation seat, what it really takes to win adoption from crews who've worked the same way for decades, why heavy civil has its own rules that off-the-shelf tools keep missing, and how the industry is finally moving toward digital delivery on projects that shape entire cities. This is a conversation about the next frontier.

#08 - Alice Leung | The Business of Construction and Technology

Alice Leung is a construction technology investor at Brick & Mortar Ventures who spent over a decade on the jobsite, from building UCSF Medical Center and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital with DPR Construction, to launching DPR's Southeast Asia HQ in Singapore as their resident BIM/VDC expert. Alice walks us through her years in construction, what it really takes to digitize one of the world's oldest industries, why culture beats contracts on any jobsite, and how 2026 is shaping up to be the year construction finally embraces AI. This is a conversation about the next frontier.

#07 – Dr. Nevena Musikic | Neurotechnology and Restoring Human Movement

Dr. Nevena Musikic is a biomedical engineer and researcher who uses multimodal machine learning, speech acoustics, and facial kinematics to develop digital biomarkers for diseases like ALS. Nevena walks us through her research spanning assistive devices for laryngectomy patients, brain-controlled spinal stimulation that restored arm movement in paralyzed patients, and AI-powered pipelines to detect ALS earlier, before symptoms become clinically visible. This is a conversation about the next frontier.

#06 – Sabine Bois | Running Global MedTech Businesses from Germany

Sabine Bois is a MedTech executive who has built and led global medical device companies across cardiac and dental systems. From early-stage capital raises in the 2000s to the C-suite of cardiac device and dental systems companies based in Germany, we explore how she has scaled distribution across 80 countries and navigated both European and American investor markets. This is a conversation about the next frontier.
