About this episode
Pouring billions into AI without first fixing data logistics is exactly why most of those investments stall. Mohammed "Mo" Saadat, CEO of Stratahub, sits down with Jason and Nada to talk about liberating the operational data trapped in legacy historians, PLCs, and acquired-asset patchwork. Mo unpacks two decades of frontline lessons, why digital twins keep falling flat, and his plan to build the industrial data fabric for the entire energy sector.
