TXI presentations at Accelerate
Mark Rickmeier
CEO
Mark will be co-presenting along with AbbVie's Brian Martin on why the answers to some of medicine's hardest problems may already exist—and how Rare Hopes, an AbbVie/TXI-founded AI research nonprofit, is building the bridge to find them.
Gayle Silverman
Product Strategist
Learn about "glue work"—the invisible labor of onboarding, unblocking, and holding teams together—and how TXI surfaced it through the "Tournament of Glue Work," changing how the team approaches recognition and shared responsibility.
Kyle McCluskey
AI Solutions Engineer
Learn how AI coding assistants are pushing Airflow development beyond "vibe coding" toward rigorous spec-driven approaches—Kyle draws on experience building ETL and ML pipelines for rail and heavy industry clients to show which strategies work best.
