Joe Wempe is Senior Manager, AI Platforms at Devon Energy, where he leads a team that helps Devon translate data and AI into tangible value across the company. They built and run ChatDVN, Devon's internal AI platform, now in active use by more than 75% of the company. They are also helping the business reimagine workflows with an AI-first mindset.

The team makes the connections, spearheads the pilot, and once the value is proven, hands the technology over to a business team to operate. Past efforts include helping launch Devon's drone program.
