Finding ROI from AI in the Mundane
Episode 48
Thursday, 9 April, 2026

Dennis Salotti, executive director and head of clinical outsourcing and innovation at Jazz Pharmaceuticals, joins Srivatsan Nagaraja to talk about what AI really looks like in day-to-inside a drug company. He explains how large language models and agentic tools can streamline contracting, budgeting, and risk management—mundane but high-impact work that speeds studies and improves trial-site experience. Salotti shares how to design narrow, high‑ROI pilots, build AI fluency, avoid “AI slop,” and turn AI into a thinking partner rather than a shortcut, stacking small wins that remove grunt work, capture lessons learned, and elevate people from doers to critical thinkers.
