    Sundar Pichai

    Google CEO Sundar Pichai joined the company in 2004 as a product manager. Since then, he's had a meteoric rise through the ranks before becoming CEO of Google in 2015 and then CEO of parent company Alphabet in 2019. During his tenure, he has focused the company on its cloud computing business Google Cloud - as well as made deep investments in artificial intelligence, despite being beat to market by Microsoft partner OpenAI in 2022 with the blockbuster ChatGPT product. In an interview for "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations," Pichai dives into his fundamental belief that artificial intelligence is comparable to fire and electricity in its capacity as a new technology to cut across "every sector, everywhere." Pichai also addresses Google's mounting legal woes, as the company faces multiple antitrust suits from the Department of Justice and elsewhere. This interview was recorded September 20 in New York.

    Ted Sarandos

    Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos started his career as somewhat of a human movie recommendation algorithm. At his video rental store job in Phoenix, Sarandos had a reputation among locals for knowing exactly which films they've enjoyed in the past, and which other titles in the store they might want next. These days, he's one of the most powerful people in Hollywood, leading the $310 billion entertainment behemoth that started the streaming wars: Netflix. Sarandos sat for an interview for "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations" and discussed how Netflix evolved from mailing DVDs to making award-winning original programming.

    John Collison

    John Collison cofounded of one of the most valuable private companies in the country: Stripe. Together, John and his brother Patrick took what seemed like a simple idea - making it frictionless for Internet companies to accept payments online - and built a fintech company that once fetched a $100 billion valuation. Though that valuation has fallen to a still-stratospheric $70 billion, Collison and his team are still expanding the company and its offerings - while continuing to shrug off the question of an IPO. In this episode of "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations," David sits down with John Collison, Cofounder and President of Stripe. This interview was recorded June 11 in New York.
