“Julie is one of the top leaders in the corporate world, period.” Those who have worked with Accenture CEO Julie Sweet say she regularly makes bold leaps following a specific recipe: She rigorously studies the topic in question (war, the cloud, AI), seeks insights from a wide range of people, and then makes breathtakingly swift decisions. This formula has made Accenture, a $176 billion company, an unlikely trailblazer. Since the start of Sweet’s tenure, Accenture’s market capitalization has almost doubled, from $90 billion in 2018, the year before Sweet was named global CEO. And the growth is thanks to Sweet’s demonstrated ability to see trends and get ahead of them. Read more in the latest issue of Fortune: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/ebr76-9Z

In a little over a month, I'll be joining my Fortune colleagues Andrew Nusca and Allie Garfinkle in gorgeous Park City, Utah to host one of the premier live journalism events anywhere: Fortune Brainstorm Tech I attended my first Brainstorm in 2014 to cover it for my then-employer, and came away impressed not only by the mainstage discussions, but the quality of discourse at breakouts, meals and serendipitous catchups too. Over the last two years, I've been grateful to play a role in building on Brainstorm Tech's storied history while continuing to reimagine how we provide our members the most valuable and rewarding getaway in tech. I'm really proud of what we have in store for our attendees on Sept 8-10, including a stellar lineup of speakers including the group below. Interested in attending or learning more?

As an aeronautics grad student at MIT in the 2010s, Brian Yutko was obsessed. He’d work deep into the night mining “black box” data and destination codes buried in antiquated computer languages like Fortran for obscure flight stats. Fast-forward a decade and suddenly Yutko has a much bigger fleet at his disposal. In May Boeing named Yutko, 39, chief of commercial airplanes product development, the arm tasked with incorporating engineering advances that improve today’s models, and taking a leading role in designing and bringing to market all-new aircraft at Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), the company’s largest division. With this year’s revenues clocking at an annualized rate of around $45 billion, if measured on its own, that unit would rank around 100th on the Fortune 500.

"We bought the name for about $2000 from some guy in Russia, paid him via PayPal, so that was pretty interesting bidding experience.” Fitbit was almost called something else entirely. At the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in 2015, Fitbit cofounder James Park shared that the name "Fitbit" was snagged for just $2,000 over PayPal. The 2025 Fortune #BrainstormTech will convene September 8–10 in Park City, Utah for a three-day summit exploring how tech reshapes society.⁠ Read more here: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/epsGeyvk

The globe is a potent symbol, and one that can mean very different things in different eras. Fortune has often used the motif—fittingly, perhaps, for the magazine founded in 1929 by Henry Luce, a globalist before that term came into vogue. From the 1933 line drawing of the goddess Fortuna lovingly cradling the globe to the Bauhaus starkness of Walter Allner’s 1957 depiction of global trade to the Rubik’s Cube–like metal globe on the 2015 cover announcing our first Change the World list, Luce’s humane internationalism lives on.

Are AI and new tech making workers less productive? According to a new Quickbase study, nearly 60% of workers said they spend 11 hours or more each week chasing down information that is located in a handful of disconnected technology solutions. That’s more than a quarter of a standard work week! Read more in today's Fortune CHRO newsletter: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/eUqg8ybz
