Pivoting to the Future: A Conversation with Ross Rosenberg of Magic Leap

Apr 3, 2025
45:56

In this episode of the Jump Podcast, Michelle Loret de Mola and Dev Patnaik sit down with Ross Rosenberg, CEO of Magic Leap, to unpack the future of augmented reality and how a startup can outmaneuver tech giants. Ross shares Magic Leap’s evolution from consumer-focused AR to precision-driven B2B applications—like spinal surgery—and its bold pivot back toward consumer markets, now fueled by the rise of AI. The trio dives deep into the culture shift from “pioneering everything” to partnering smartly, and how defining the company’s true superpowers led to strategic clarity. It’s a powerful lesson in making hard choices, building abilities over assets, and embracing modularity for an uncertain future. Oh, and there’s quantum teleportation, naturally.
