Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Forward-deployed engineers brought proximity, speed, and ownership of the outcome, but that isn't enough. Engineers are still often too far away from the key decision-makers who are critical for decisions and culture. Companies can't just rapidly hire and replace the entire C-suite in a month - they need outside help. Forward-deployed executives can help close the gap by bringing both technical and leadership experience to help businesses navigate the chaos and complexity of AI adoption.
