Why Momentive Didn’t Hire a Chief AI Officer – They Elevated One

Every association and nonprofit leader is asking some version of the same question right now: how much AI is too much, and how much is not enough? 

On the first episode of Bring on Better (formerly Beyond Membership), host Rich Vallaster sits down with Dustin Radtke, Momentive Software’s first Chief AI Officer and former Chief Product and Development Officer, to answer it. 

In this episode, Dustin explains: 

1. Why Momentive created a Chief AI Officer role, and what it means to have AI represented at the executive table 
2. How his background running product and development shapes the way he leads AI strategy 
3. What responsible AI actually means for associations and nonprofits, beyond the buzzword 
4. Why you don’t need an in-house data scientist to use AI effectively, and what that myth costs your organization 
5. How to talk to your board or finance team about AI investment and return 
6. Where AI is already producing results for associations and nonprofits, from event management to member and donor retention campaigns 
7. What to expect, and what to ask about, on the ASAE Annual show floor 

Whether you run a member-based association, lead a mission-driven nonprofit, or you’re just trying to understand what “responsible AI” means for your organization, this conversation gives you a clear starting point. 

Bring on Better is Momentive Software’s podcast for leaders of mission-driven organizations, covering AI, membership, fundraising, and the technology decisions shaping the association and nonprofit space.
