Has AI really become THIS powerful in the enterprise?
Today, we're talking to Brian Elliott, CEO at Blitzy and Tom Jackson, CTO at RSM US LLP. We discuss how AI agents are autonomously completing months of development work in days, why organizational change management is now the biggest bottleneck in software development, and how enterprises are achieving 5x engineering velocity with agentic SDLC platforms.
All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast!

About Tom Jackson
I’ve spent my life feeding a love of technology, and over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of working across architecture, development, and operations—delivering solutions at enterprise scale while staying hands-on with the tech and the people who make it all possible.
From time spent teaching technology to professionals across multiple vendors, to leading technology for an organization across multiple countries. I prioritized translating technical concepts into real-world impact. That foundation continues to shape how I lead and collaborate today.
As Chief Technology Officer and Principal at RSM US LLP, I oversee global technology operations across the US, Canada, India, and El Salvador. I’ve led major initiatives in IT transformation, M&A integration, and global expansion—and I’m constantly grateful for every passionate debate over a whiteboard of ideas, followed by laughter over a beer with people who challenge me to be better.
About Blitzy
Blitzy, the emerging leader in System 2 AI, enables development teams to transform six-month software projects into six-day turnarounds using Blitzy, an agentic platform that enables thousands of AI Agents to ‘think’ and cooperate for hours to bulk build software with precision. The platform builds everything AI can deliver in a precise manner, around 80% of any roadmap or new product, supplemented with a human engineering guide to complete the remaining 20% needed for production. With over 27 patents and counting, Blitzy is actively hiring PhDs and senior developers in Cambridge, MA who have a passion for building AI that leverages ‘System 2 Thinking’ to solve problems at inference. Blitzy was co-founded by Brian Elliott, a serial entrepreneur, and Sid Pardeshi, an ex-NVIDIA software architect with 27 Generative AI patents to his name.
