TWIN Tables
TWIN Tables are monthly virtual sessions where TWINians have direct, in-depth conversations with leaders in their fields. We select topics of interest to our members and then find leading subject matter experts to join us. TWIN Tables are a chance to have meaningful, stimulating discussions with other like-minded humans. No topic is off limits and it is always interesting. We go deep and do not share recordings externally.
TWIN Tables are for TWIN members only. If you are interested in becoming a TWINian, please email us.

A few twin tables topics we’ve covered thus far:
TWIN AI Roundtable
Our TWIN AI Roundtable in June catalyzed significant interest in an ongoing “AI support group” comprising AI experts and enterprise decision makers. Sincere thanks to Discover for supporting that session at TWIN Global. WTW and Lloyd’s of London have committed to partnering with TWIN to create and maintain this pivotal conversation… private, credible, real-time.
The global supply chain crisis
TWIN Patron Mark Dancer invited Graybar’s CEO, Kathy Mazzarella, to share her perspective regarding what to expect in 2022 and how her team is navigating. Graybar is one of the world’s largest B2B distribution companies and a member of the Fortune 500 with over $7 billion in 2020 revenues.
Servant leadership
If you don’t know of Howard Behar, then you don’t know Starbucks. We’ve heard of Howard’s contributions for years as the “heart and soul” of Starbucks… and his essential role as “the other Howard” at Starbucks. He is one of the world’s leaders regarding culture, purpose and servant leadership. What it means to really live these broad, nuanced, essential concepts, and to do so in the context of a rapidly scaling global enterprise.
How to make hybrid work successful
Andrea Hanson and John Bremen joined us to explore the who, what and why of returning to “offices” and in-person gatherings– and when to remain at-home inside the Internet. The topic arose often during TWIN Virtual, which was itself emblematic of the transitions in our lives, which won’t stop after Covid fades.
Investing in space
Dylan Taylor, Founder and CEO of Voyager Space Holdings, led our conversation on “Frontier Investing: Space.” Since speaking for us during TWIN Tech 2020, Voyager announced two additional acquisitions, both of revenue-generating enterprises with enormous growth ahead. If you think space is too far out for investors, Taylor will change your mind with data, reasoned foresight, and passion.
What it means to be human
“What is a Person?” This is a pivotal question most of us don’t consider. In an increasingly AI-infused world it’s one we should. Based in Australia, Anthony Howard, brings philosophical, ethical, even epistemological questions to practical matters of business and everyday life. He’s also author of Humanise—why human-centered-leadership is the key to the 21st century.
Serendipity calls
At TWIN, our motto is, “Never leave serendipity to chance.”
And we mean it. Once a quarter, we host a virtual Serendipity Call where TWINians can join and be automatically paired with another TWINian for a rapid-fire five minute conversation. Once the five minutes is over, new pairings commence. We call it TWINian roulette. It is a chance for TWINians to reconnect with old friends and make new ones from around the world.
