MVP Insights: Alicia King Talks Summit NA Opportunities, AI Use, Finance & Supply Chain Sessions
In this episode of the MVP Insights Podcast, Giuseppe Ianni welcomes Alicia King, Presales Engineer Director, RSM, to discuss her MVP contributions, finance & supply chain expertise, AI applications, and Summit NA 2026 sessions.
Key Takeaways
- MVP contributions: King has been an MP for the last four years, focused on the finance and supply chain side of things, and notes that “having that cross knowledge is kind of a unique niche to have.” King explains that she creates short, practical blog content based on real questions and challenges she encounters.
- AI applications: King explains how her team is using AI agents to automate business tasks, generate data and insights, and deliver measurable ROI, like reducing a manual insurance onboarding process from one-by-one entry to just minutes. For companies using AI, King advises that “You need to be very clear… Don’t just say ‘I’m blankly going to use AI’ and just kind of use it without a plan.”
