Filmed at the GCVI 2026 Summit in Monterey, Corporate Venturing Insider #126 features Nicolas Sauvage in conversation with Barbry McGann, co-head of Workday Ventures. Barbry shares how a career in enterprise software product leadership led her from PeopleSoft, Oracle, and Workday into corporate venture capital. She explains how product thinking shapes Workday Ventures’ investment strategy, why the team moved away from seed investing, and what she looks for in product-led founders. The episode also explores AI’s impact on enterprise software, market sensing inside corporations, and how Workday Ventures uses a provocative weekly newsletter to educate executives.
