Watch all of the day’s interviews.

The modern business leader walks a tightrope: between fighting for the success of their company and shareholder value; between communication and leadership ability, demands for innovation, media representation, political pressures and international dynamics and besting their competition.

So, we asked: How do they manage these competing interests, and what does it mean to lead with purpose? How do current Fortune 500 leaders see their role today, and what defines their leadership?

We also asked the big question of the moment: How are they approaching the integration of generative A.I. into their business models? And how are they building resiliency in their own companies?

Panelists: Alex Chriss, C.E.O. of PayPal; Beth Ford, President and C.E.O. of Land O’Lakes Inc.; Bob Jordan, President and C.E.O. of Southwest Airlines; Ynon Kreiz, Chairman and C.E.O. of Mattel; Pete Nordstrom, Co-C.E.O. of Nordstrom, Inc.; Emma Walmsley, C.E.O. of GSK
