Analyze your brand messaging for free at www.jacquard.comIn this episode of The Array by Jacquard, Toby and Jasper sit down with Rustom Dastoor, EVP, Head of Marketing Communications for the Americas at Mastercard, to discuss how AI is reshaping enterprise marketing, customer relationships, and competitive strategy.
Rustom argues that most companies are thinking too small about AI. While many organizations focus on cost reduction and productivity gains, the real opportunity lies in building AI-native enterprises that use data to drive entirely new levels of effectiveness, personalization, and growth.
Rustom also explains why brands must prepare for a future where AI agents and algorithms increasingly make decisions before consumers ever interact with a business directly. In that world, companies must optimize not just for people but for machines, APIs, and large language models that act as invisible gatekeepers to customer attention.
This episode is a forward-looking blueprint for leaders trying to understand how AI will reshape marketing, enterprise operations, and competitive advantage over the next decade.
