Edward Roske founded interRel Consulting at twenty-two and ran it for twenty-five years as one of the longest-standing Oracle Platinum EPM Partners before merging it into Argano, a billion-dollar consulting firm. Today he's the CEO of Dawnward, an investor and contributor at Caprus.ai, and one of the people actually shipping enterprise AI: MCP servers that let AI agents read and write live Oracle EPM data, in production now.
He's written fifteen books on enterprise analytics (the "Look Smarter Than You Are" series), holds a Master of Data Science from SMU (perfect 4.0, Outstanding Graduate), and has spoken in fifty-plus countries on all seven continents, including the one with penguins. His awards shelf includes the ODTUG Lifetime Achievement Award (2025, given to fewer than five people ever), six Top Speaker awards, and two Best Overall Speaker awards.
Edward hosts the Asking Good Questions podcast, publishes AI News briefs to 200,000+ YouTube subscribers, is president of the Puerto Rico AI Community (850+ executives), and co-chairs the Caribbean AI Summit. He lives in San Juan, Puerto Rico, runs his life on ten-plus AI agents, and wears the blue fedora on stage. (A Roske never removes his fedora in the presence of others.)
