Conor Brady

Head of the Techology Accelerator

Current2023 – Present · New York, NY

At Insight Partners, I lead AI-driven transformation programs that connect innovative technology to measurable business outcomes for both our portfolio companies and Fortune 500 enterprises. My work spans the entire AI adoption journey—helping portfolio founders and leadership teams define their AI vision, validate high-value use cases, and execute transformation strategies that scale across global enterprises. Through the Technology Accelerator, I bring together 800+ senior technology leaders from 150+ corporations with Insight-backed founders, creating direct pathways for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and enterprise-grade AI solution deployment. This includes co-designing AI roadmaps with portfolio companies, aligning product capabilities to enterprise transformation priorities, and accelerating go-to-market success through strategic C-Suite introductions. I combine pre-sales insight—use-case discovery, solution scoping, ROI articulation—with post-sales execution—roadmap design, delivery governance, user adoption strategies, and success metrics tracking. Whether it’s facilitating founder-to-CIO solution-design sessions, drafting Statements of Work for AI pilots, or orchestrating multi-phase deployments across industries, I ensure transformation programs move from vision to scaled reality. My approach is both strategic and hands-on: • Partnering with portfolio leadership to surface AI opportunities, refine product-market fit, and mitigate adoption risks. • Guiding enterprise customers through multi-phase AI rollouts—from journey mapping and acceptance testing to enablement and governance. • Ensuring adoption “sticks” through tailored training, champion networks, and robust measurement of transformation impact.
