He held management positions at Verizon Communications Inc., Cisco Systems, and Space Systems Loral and is the author of “Artificial Intelligence, A Leader’s Guide to Building the Future”.

Kevin Boutros – CEO and co-founder of Quadra, will be talking about the solutions that A.I. has implemented on the agricultural industry and how Quadra used artificial intelligence to detect external and internal defects in fruits to secure high accuracy.
