Varun Atrey from Legora: Building an AI-Native Marketing Engine

In this session, Varun Atrey, Product Marketing Director at Legora, joins Johanna and Jacob to discuss the transition from "using AI" to building an AI-native organization. Varun details his journey of self-teaching AI development and shares a "ruthless" philosophy for automating the repetitive "work around the work". The conversation explores how AI is compressing product launch timelines, enabling high-touch enterprise account planning, and why a "first principles" engineering mindset is becoming a critical skill for the modern marketer.
