“I think you can completely underestimate the amount of knowledge you have,” says GLG expert Sylvia METAYER. The longtime Sodexo executive brings more than 30 years of experience to every GLG call. We asked Sylvia, a Paris-based consultant, what it's like helping GLG clients make better decisions. "There's an enormous amount of information," she told us, "but it takes somebody to sort it out and put it into context." "All I have to do is share what I know. That's it."

Data centers have huge power and water needs. Could the AI boom help supercharge global electricity demand? We emailed a GLG expert with extensive experience in data centers and large scale wide-area networks the questions clients and investors are asking. 📈📊 Do you see data centers as a limiting factor to AI growth? Yes. We’re looking at the possibility of having no place to put Nvidia chips. So you can build all the chips you want, and then find there's no power or place to use them. That's why it's important to build private grid power. The race is on. 🔋🫧 Are we in a bubble? There's a great deal of uncertainty. Is AI ever going to move beyond the realm of the hyperscalers? Or are we just going to continue to use their resources, expertise, and the fact they have virtually unlimited funds? A year ago, it was assumed that every major industry would have to build their own. That’s unlikely. The use case is getting stronger all the time. But how the use case gets addressed and deployed is the question. 🚜 🚧 Where are we on building more data centers? What are the headwinds? The major headwinds for building are power and water availability. Capital availability doesn't seem to be a problem at all. In terms of broader headwinds, it’s cybersecurity, which is in the favor of the bad guys right now. They’ve really figured out how to use AI for nefarious purposes, and need a lot less time on target to hack existing technologies. The good news is that AI is somewhat self-generating – meaning AI can improve AI algorithms. So the assumption (or the hope) is that AI can fix bad, insecure code and actually improve cybersecurity. There are great tools emerging on the AI side, we just don’t know whether they’re good enough yet.

"I've had a bit of a journey," says Sara Hyten celebrating her 10th anniversary at GLG. 🧭 Sara was among dozens of other junior associates stepping into GLG's Austin office for the first time in July 2014. A decade later, she reflects on her growth, the best advice she ever received, and how she wound up on GLG's Engineering team. (Hint: "Be comfortable with it being a meandering road.") #LifeatGLG #GLGCareers

GLG’s Alma Sierra began dancing when she was 8 years old. First ballet, then jazz, modern, West African, and Broadway. She loved it – the choreography, the discipline, the community – and she was good at it, too. Performing came naturally to her, so she kept at it. 🩰 But after living in Austin, TX for a few years, she felt something was missing. She was a long way from where she had grown up in El Paso. Despite being in the same state, the two cities have distinctly different cultures. El Paso is a sprawling border town with its own customs and traditions and a clear Mexican-American identity. It’s a way of life, and it was hard to find in Austin. So 3 years ago, she took a chance and tried out for the renowned Ballet Folklórico de Austin, a group that performs traditional Mexican folk dance, and is based in Central Texas. For her, it was a chance to reconnect with her roots and feel closer to the community and culture that raised her – all while doing what she loves most. Today, as a GLG Research Manager, she spends her days working with some of the world’s largest biotech and pharma companies. Her evenings are a bit different. Ballet Folklórico is demanding. For 3-4 nights a week, Alma and her fellow dancers get together to practice and perfect the routines passed down from generations before them. Rehearsals can go well into the night, especially when preparing for national competitions, alongside award-winning Latin artists. All the costumes are museum quality, handpicked, and sourced from local artisans in Oaxaca. “It's important to remain true to the community we're representing," Alma told us. "That includes everything from how garments are worn to how the fabric is intended to flow and shine in the light.” If you’re in Austin, you can see Alma and BFA perform their signature summer show 'The Guelaguetza' on July 27, 2024 at the Long Center. 💃🏻 🎫: https://lnkd.in/gHmMKnbh #LifeatGLG

GLG reposted this
“Where Issues and Insights Converge.” That was the theme of #BIO2024, a leading global biotech conference that brings together more than 20,000 life sciences professionals in San Diego each year. I can’t think of a more relevant topic for GLG's Life Sciences team, focused on connecting healthcare clients with the right insights to support groundbreaking cures and therapies at every stage of the product lifecycle, particularly R&D and drug development. Such a great opportunity to meet so many longstanding GLG clients, life sciences experts, physicians, and more. Each conversation gave us a better understanding of the challenges and complexities facing clients in the industry today. We made clear the power of GLG’s services and our role as a trusted thought partner, helping to drive the biotech industry forward.

GLG co-founder Mark Gerson, CEO Gemma Postlethwaite, and senior leaders from New York to Singapore joined Austin GLGers for lunches, drinks, and impromptu coffees around the office during an event-filled week. #LifeatGLG

🚙🔌 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝗩 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴? People buy electric vehicles for two reasons: the eco-conscious case and the business case. The problem for EV sales is that, at the moment, there isn’t a valid business case. From charging costs to vehicle costs, to the pace of tech innovation putting heavy pressure on secondary markets to sell old models, it’s hard to make EVs make sense in many consumers’ budgets, especially in Europe. Add on anxieties about range and cold weather, as well as new questions about how eco-friendly EVs really are, it’s no surprise that sales have faltered. The markets leading EV penetration are those where governments have intervened. In Norway or Hong Kong, for example, EVs made up most new vehicle registrations last year thanks to enticing tax incentives, including for businesses. If we’re going to see a large-scale transition to EVs anytime soon, governments will need to play an active role. ♻️🔋 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗩𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱? 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝘀? The sustainability and eco-friendliness of battery electric vehicles has come more into question. There have been reports on the consequences of raw material production – e.g., water consumption for cobalt production – and questions around what really qualifies as clean energy, which varies country to country. Work is still being done to figure out how to create a recycling program for EV batteries at scale. For electric cars to have an impact on our environment, the speed of development and adoption must increase rapidly. We also need to generate energy in a sustainable way, otherwise the only benefit is the improved air quality in urban areas. Locally, emission free driving can make a city more livable. As for hybrids, they give the customer peace of mind that they will arrive at their destination without the typical range anxiety. But there are limited benefits of having two engines in one car at the same time. Ultimately, I don’t see hybrids as an end game, but rather an interim solution for a lower barrier of entry to EV driving. 👤 Sebastian Miller is the former CEO of Mercedes-Benz Charging Solutions in Stuttgart, Germany and a GLG expert.
