We’re thrilled to welcome Bret Taylor to TechCrunch Disrupt 2024. As the former co-CEO of Salesforce, founder of Quip, former CTO of Facebook, the co-creator of Google Maps, and current chairman of the board at OpenAI, Taylor needs very little introduction.
Bret Taylor is one of the most influential players in the world of enterprise and SaaS, so we invited him to join us for a fireside chat on our SaaS Stage at Disrupt 2024 on October 29.
In our conversation with Bret, we’ll explore his innovative AI startup, Sierra, recently launched in partnership with former Google executive Clay Bavor. Sierra envisions AI agents as the next major technological breakthrough, much like the rise of websites and mobile applications. These agents could become crucial digital resources for businesses, ultimately enhancing the digital customer experience.
