Listen "Jimi Li, CTO of ALM on AI, Digital Transformation and Leading High-Performance Teams"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Software Leaders Uncensored, host Steve Taplin talks with Jimi Li, CTO of ALM, whose career spans startups, GE, L’Oreal, Coach, News Corp, consulting, and now leading a fully digital legal-industry intelligence company. Jimi shares how he evolved from a two-person startup engineer to global technology leader, and why transformation is 80% psychology and communication—not architecture. He breaks down AI’s real value, the productivity leakage problem, the rise of human-in-the-loop systems, and why every tech leader must build an AI-powered second brain. Jimi also explains how ALM moved from publishing to data and intelligence, how to lead globally distributed engineering teams, and why asking the right questions will matter more than knowledge itself.
