  "account": "Databricks' chief information officer, Naveen Zutshi, is being hailed as an executive of the year for his work in enabling employees to access and utilize company data through AI. Zutshi explains that the company, which currently employs 11,000 people, faces the challenge of making internal data accessible to those who need it. To address this issue, Zutshi introduced Genie, an AI agent that allows employees to quickly query and act upon company data. This tool has not only benefited Databricks itself, as it was the initial customer for the company's products, but also other organizations such as Novo Nordisk, Virgin Atlantic, and Unilever.",
