In this interview, Oana Jinga, co-founder and Chief Commercial & Product Officer at Dexory, discusses her journey from her roles at Google and Telefónica to co-founding a company at the intersection of robotics and logistics. Dexory, which was formerly known as BotsAndUs, has evolved significantly, securing nearly €300 million in funding, including a €142.5 million raise in 2025.

Oana delves into the challenges of scaling a DeepTech innovation to a globally recognized enterprise and the delicate balance required between maintaining technical prowess and meeting the demands of the market. The conversation also sheds light on Dexory's expansion into international markets, particularly the US, and the broader context of warehouse robotics in Europe.

Key themes include the potential of robotics and AI to augment human jobs rather than replace them, the ethical responsibilities surrounding AI in robotics, and Dexory's efforts to promote robotics as an inclusive and attractive career option. Oana emphasizes the importance of building unbiased, transparent AI systems and addresses the ongoing debate on job displacement versus automation in modern warehouses.

  • Naive method uses last 30 days of closing prices as query vector
  • Z-normalize windows to compare shape and scale, not just price level
  • Use log returns instead of prices for more stable comparisons

Data centers are everywhere. Here's what they're doing to the planet.

As data centers multiply to meet AI demand, they're straining power grids, draining water supplies, and reshaping the land and air around them.

  • Data centers consume vast amounts of energy and water, impacting local resources.
  • Northern Virginia data centers handled a third of global online traffic in 2023.
  • By 2030, data centers' electricity use is expected to double to 945 terawatt-hours.
