GFI Software CEO Eric Vaughan spoke at the ZEBR.AI Roadshow in Prague on October 13, 2026, at the Kings Court Hotel.

### Answer in 30 seconds: How a CEO can run a company using AI agents

Eric Vaughan, CEO of GFI Software, IgniteTech and Khoros, discussed the transformation taking place in finance, sales and marketing when every question has an evidence-based answer. He showed how a genuine question from a dissatisfied customer can be turned into an informed insight and an effective response in 30 seconds.

### About the speaker

Eric Vaughan is CEO of GFI Software, IgniteTech and Khoros, where he leads a global portfolio of software companies in practical, AI-driven transformation across their entire organizations. Unlike executives who talk about AI from a distance, Eric is a software developer by profession and still writes code. In the 30 days before the event, he personally built two AI-driven software products now used by many people in production: one that automatically fixes software, and another that automatically creates new product features.

Eric is known for his straightforward, operational perspective on AI: the era of “prompt engineering” is giving way to agents, context, orchestration and traceable execution. His Prague session was not a product presentation. It was a CEO’s view of what changes when AI stops being a side experiment and becomes part of how organizations are actually run.
