In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, hosts Robin and Al sit down with Jocelyne Moyer, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Operations at Zeitview, to explore the intersection of operations, artificial intelligence, leadership, and sustainable growth in high-risk, high-impact industries.

Jocelyne shares her journey from engineering and large-scale food manufacturing at Maple Leaf Foods and PepsiCo, through consulting at Bain & Company, to leading AI-powered infrastructure inspections at Zeitview. Along the way, she reveals the surprising through line that connects manufacturing, data, and modern asset intelligence, and how operational discipline becomes the foundation for innovation.

Together, they dive into how AI is transforming industries like solar, wind, and utilities through aerial imaging and anomaly detection, how leaders balance long-term strategy with short-term execution, and why people, not just processes or technology, remain the true drivers of performance.
