Jonas Jacobi, CEO and co-founder of ValidMind, shared his perspective on what he values in a business partner, his outlook on artificial intelligence (AI), and his experience working with Experian at Experian’s Vision Conference.

“An ideal partner in this business environment is someone who is actively engaged with us as a company and has a vision for the future that aligns with what we are trying to do at ValidMind,” he said. “From that perspective, Experian has proven to be an excellent partner.”

Jacobi shared his enthusiasm for the future of AI and its potential impact across industries. According to him, AI can help organizations address repetitive, time-consuming tasks that employees perform every day.

“What makes me most excited is that it has this transformative effect on a lot of businesses,” Jacobi said.

Reflecting on his experience working with Experian, Jacobi highlighted the company’s pace of innovation.

“As a smaller company, the expectation is that the larger company moves slower, which is not the case with Experian,” he said. “I have seen Experian firsthand being one of the most innovative and fastest-moving companies in the industry.”

As organizations continue to explore the opportunities presented by AI, Jacobi emphasized the importance of working with engaged partners that share a common vision. His experience with Experian, he said, has been defined by collaboration, innovation and a pace of execution that exceeds expectations.
