    The biggest challenge in AI isn't the technology - it's finding the talent to execute the mission

    In this episode of The Global Nutcracker, we sit down with Daniel Victorino, co-founder of Galaxies, a Brazilian technology company that is redefining market research. Using advanced "synthetic personas," Galaxies helps enterprise giants like Nestle and Spotify predict consumer behaviour before it even happens. But expanding a high-tech startup from Brazil to global markets like the US, Europe, and China isn't just about code. Daniel reveals why the true "climax" of scaling a business isn't a product launch, but the high-stakes battle for talent in a hyper-competitive AI landscape where companies are constantly trying to poach the best minds.
