Sergio Gago (Cloudera CTO): The Quantum Pirate on Hacking Your Career, AI Agents, and the Future of Tech | Entangled Health

"stop only reading ... start playing"What does it take to build five companies, lead quantum initiatives at Moody's, and become the CTO of Cloudera? In this episode, we go deep with Sergio Gago, the legendary "Quantum Pirate," to decode his framework for innovation and career mastery.Sergio shares his journey from typing games on cassette tapes and hacking them for "infinite lives" to shaping the future of enterprise AI. We explore how his "hacker mindset" became the driving force behind his entrepreneurial ventures and his strategies for navigating the complexities of the finance and tech industries.In this episode, you will learn:The Hacking Mindset: How tinkering and breaking things can be the ultimate career accelerant.AI Agents in Production: The real-world challenges of deploying AI agents and why managing them is an "HR task."Quantum in Finance: Sergio’s experience at Moody's and how quantum computing could reshape risk analysis.The "Ottoman" Decision Method: A curiosity-driven experiment for making life's big decisions (both sober and drunk).Innovation Strategies: How to stay curious, find signal in the noise, and surround yourself with people smarter than you.We also explore the concept of "entangled health" — understanding health innovation as the complex interplay of quantum science, AI, biotech, and human well-being, where technologies must be ethically and practically integrated. And we share our entanglement as band mates playing a song in superposition.This conversation is a masterclass for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, AI strategy, quantum computing, and the personal philosophies that drive world-class innovators.Follow Sergio Gago:Newsletter: The Quantum Pirate on SubstackLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergiogh/our joint gig at quantum.tech Twickenham 2024Final Teenspirit (Final Countdown (Europe) meets Feels like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) entangled and in superposition, original by WaxAudio) Connect with Entangled Health:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/entangled-health-podcastSubmit a question to our quantum-selected pool!Co‑creation disclaimer:This episode is an informal, personal‑capacity conversation and a creative co‑creation between host and guest.
