CxC Ep 27: AI in the News - with Dom Selvon & Tarek Nseir (Valiance)

About this episode

This week on Code x Connor, we’re joined by Tarek Nseir and Dom Selvon of Valiance to discuss the latest in AI news, from the UK’s attempt to oust Palantir from the NHS to Claude Code’s source code leak.

Tarek is a serial entrepreneur who built one of Europe's leading digital transformation consultancies over 25 years, delivering landmark programmes for JK Rowling, the BBC, and LV Insurance. Dom is a founding figure of the composable architecture movement who has spent 27 years building flexible systems for brands including LEGO, IKEA, and Burberry. Valliance, their new company, is an independent AI consultancy that combines deep expertise in data, AI, and enterprise transformation to help leaders solve complex business problems and move away from delivering simple pilots to real impactful deliveries with measurable outcomes.
