Season 2 of the CNBC Changemakers podcast features conversations with female leaders shaping the future of business, policy, and culture in the age of AI.
In this episode, Cloudflare co-founder, president and board co-chair Michelle Zatlyn joins CNBC’s Julia Boorstin to discuss how AI is changing cybersecurity, work and business. She explains how AI is helping Cloudflare counter increasingly sophisticated attacks—and why she believes it could make the internet safer by default.
Zatlyn also reflects on Cloudflare’s AI-driven workforce changes and the responsibility leaders have to make difficult decisions with honesty and transparency. She shares how the company grew from a business-school idea into a global technology business, what she’s learned about authentic leadership and long-term partnerships, and why she wants more women to see themselves as builders in tech.
