Today in the Sky Lounge we are joined by Virginie Glaenzer, fractional CMO at TechCXO and author of ""The Economy of Abundance."" From landing in Silicon Valley with four suitcases during the height of the dot-com boom to building community-driven marketing strategies that outperform traditional branding, Virginie shares insights from 25 years of digital transformation. She explains why the AI revolution exceeds the internet boom in scope, how Gen Z is rejecting traditional business models, and why the future belongs to co-creators rather than controllers. Plus hear about her minimalist lifestyle, founding the Acorn Oak women's community, and why Dubai's mall-centric culture shocked this world traveler.
What is THE SKY LOUNGE?
