Tom Scott, CEO of Wrike, joins Stu Willson to walk through what he calls "the rebuild moment" — the actual operating playbook for a $250M+ ARR SaaS company navigating the AI transition from inside the seat. The conversation covers what's actually defensible in enterprise software when coding agents can clone a UI in a weekend, why most CEOs are sequencing the AI rebuild incorrectly, how Tom reversed his own delegation model to consolidate decision-making for speed, and what diligence questions PE investors should be asking that almost none are. Tom also walks through the J-curve of AI transformation inside Wrike's own engineering and marketing functions, including a marketing case study with concrete numbers (3x article output, 87% faster account research, 50–75% faster gated-asset production).
