W najnowszym odcinku podcastu Technologicznie Jarosław Kuźniar rozmawia z Adamem Dubielem, Chief Product & Technology Officer w XTB, o tym, kim jest dzisiaj skuteczny CTO. W świecie, gdzie technologia zmienia się szybciej niż kwartalne cele. A kluczowa okazuje się nie innowacja sama w sobie, ale sposób, w jaki ją wdrażamy. Jak rekrutować ludzi, którzy myślą jak właściciele? Co daje kwartalna perspektywa planowania? Jak rozpoznać, które trendy technologiczne naprawdę warto wdrożyć? To odcinek o dojrzałym przywództwie, które nie boi się powiedzieć „nie”.Z tego programu Technologicznie dowiesz się także:- Jak zorganizować 600-osobowy zespół, który sam rozwiązuje problemy?- Co oznacza „odpowiedzialność” w strukturze IT?- Kiedy warto poczekać, aż kurz po technologii opadnie?- Dlaczego kwartalny rytm pracy daje więcej niż roczne strategie?- AI, chmura, Agile.

As every brand rushes to adopt generative AI, what if the greatest competitive advantage is no longer about speed and scale, but about sounding uniquely, verifiably human? Agility requires moving beyond the hype of new technology to strategically apply it for true differentiation. It's about being smart and selective, not just fast. Today, we're going to talk about a paradox at the heart of modern marketing. Generative AI has promised unprecedented scale and personalization, but for many, it's delivering a sea of sameness where brand voice gets lost. We'll explore how to break free from this generic output, moving from a reactive "test and learn" model to a predictive one, and discuss the critical balance of combining AI's power with essential human expertise to maintain brand soul, safety, and performance across countless channels.

In this episode, we're joined by Ben McAllister, the Chief Product and Technology Officer at CrossFit, and one of the most thoughtful product leaders I've had the pleasure of speaking with. Ben's path is anything but linear: with a degree in physics, a short stint in consulting, and time spent as a creative director at a design agency before moving into senior product roles at Under Armour. Now he's shaping one of the world's most iconic fitness ecosystems. In this episode, Ben shares: Why attention is the ultimate currency in product design, and how to design for the “spotlight” versus the periphery. The “Infovore” Advantage: Why the best product leaders borrow ideas from outside the tech world; and How to build a cohesive product strategy for a complex, decentralized network like CrossFit's global community of affiliates and athletes.

What happens when adaptation isn't a phase, but a permanent state of existence? Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker, CEO David DeWolf, and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao conclude our change management miniseries by arguing that resilience now beats optimization. The group explores why governance should actually accelerate speed rather than slow it down, and why modern leadership requires the vulnerability to learn in public versus continually exhorting your team to become "AI-first."  Plus, Pete Buer shares part two of his interview with innovation expert and author Scott Anthony. Scott explains why leaders should "lead by letting go"—allowing experiments to make the decisions—and shares how teams can "sue a process" to remove friction. Don't miss the final verdict on the human side of AI adoption and a closing insight from DeepSeek.

If artificial intelligence is meant to earn trust anywhere, should banking be the place where it proves itself first? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Ravi Nemalikanti, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Abrigo, for a grounded conversation about what responsible AI actually looks like when the consequences are real. Abrigo works with more than 2,500 banks and credit unions across the United States, many of them community institutions where every decision affects local businesses, families, and entire regional economies. That reality makes this discussion feel refreshingly practical rather than theoretical. We talk about why financial services has become one of the toughest proving grounds for AI, and why that is a good thing. Ravi explains why concepts like transparency, explainability, and auditability are not optional add-ons in banking, but table stakes. From fraud detection and lending decisions to compliance and portfolio risk, every model has to stand up to regulatory, ethical, and operational scrutiny. A false positive or an opaque decision is not just a technical issue, it can damage trust, disrupt livelihoods, and undermine confidence in an institution. A big focus of the conversation is how AI assistants are already changing day-to-day banking work, largely behind the scenes. Rather than flashy chatbots, Ravi describes assistants embedded directly into lending, anti-money laundering, and compliance workflows. These systems summarize complex documents, surface anomalies, and create consistent narratives that free human experts to focus on judgment, context, and relationships. What surprised me most was how often customers value consistency and clarity over raw speed or automation. We also explore what other industries can learn from community banks, particularly their modular, measured approach to adoption. With limited budgets and decades-old core systems, these institutions innovate cautiously, prioritizing low-risk, high-return use cases and strong governance from day one. Ravi shares why explainable AI must speak the language of bankers and regulators, not data scientists, and why showing the "why" behind a decision is essential to keeping humans firmly in control. As we look toward 2026 and beyond, the conversation turns to where AI can genuinely support better outcomes in lending and credit risk without sidelining human judgment. Ravi is clear that fully autonomous decisioning still has a long way to go in high-stakes environments, and that the future is far more about partnership than replacement. AI can surface patterns, speed up insight, and flag risks early, but people remain essential for context, empathy, and final accountability. If you're trying to cut through the AI noise and understand how trust, governance, and real-world impact intersect, this episode offers a rare look at how responsible AI is actually being built and deployed today. And once you've listened, I'd love to hear your perspective. Where do you see AI earning trust, and where does it still have something to prove?

The Wikimedia Foundation's chief technology and product officer explains how she helps manage one of the most visited sites in the world in the age of generative AI.  Wikipedia is turning 25 this month, and it's never been more important.  The online, collectively created encyclopedia has been a cornerstone of the internet decades, but as generative AI started flooding every platform with AI-generated slop over the last couple of years, Wikipedia's governance model, editing process, and dedication to citing reliable sources has emerged as one of the most reliable and resilient models we have.  And yet, as successful as the model is, it's almost never replicated.  This week on the podcast we're joined by Selena Deckelmann, the Chief Product and Technology Officer at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization that operates Wikipedia. That means Selena oversees the technical infrastructure and product strategy for one of the most visited sites in the world, and one the most comprehensive repositories of human knowledge ever assembled. Wikipedia is turning 25 this month, so I wanted to talk to Selena about how Wikipedia works and how it plans to continue to work in the age of generative AI.   YouTube Version: https://youtu.be/39LR9ouJR3c Subscribe at 404media.co for bonus content.

Can you ride a bike with reverse steering? It sounds simple, but it requires unlearning years of muscle memory. That is exactly what AI demands of modern business leaders: the ability to unlearn established rules to keep from crashing. Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker, CEO David DeWolf, and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao kick off a new four-part miniseries dedicated to the hardest part of AI adoption: change management. David and Mohan argue that the biggest friction point isn't technology, but the mindset shift from a deterministic world to a probabilistic one where judgment is required. They outline a playbook for 2026, explaining why you must anchor on value creation rather than efficiency to succeed. We also air Part 1 of Pete Buer's conversation with Tom Davenport, a world-renowned thought leader and President's Distinguished Professor at Babson College. Tom connects the history of business process re-engineering to the current AI moment, warning leaders that using AI solely for headcount reduction is a strategic error. All of that PLUS Pete breaks down conflicting market data on AI Agents. Does 57% of the market have agents in production, or is it only 11%? Pete explains why this definition gap from two recent reports matters and how to distinguish between a software feature and true enterprise agentic architecture.

About Trimble Transportation Trimble Transportation provides fleets with solutions to create a fully integrated supply chain. With an intelligent ecosystem of products and services, Trimble Transportation enables customers to embrace the rapid technological evolution of the industry and connect all aspects of transportation and logistics — trucks, drivers, back office, freight and assets. Trimble Transportation delivers an open, scalable platform to help customers make more informed decisions and maximize performance, visibility and safety. Key Takeaways: The Road Ahead: What Trimble Innovations Mean for Transportation In "The Road Ahead: What Trimble Innovations Mean for Transportation", Joe Lynch and Jonah McIntire, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Trimble, discuss Trimble's open, scalable platform that connects every aspect of the supply chain—from trucks and drivers to the back office—by serving as a reliable "system of record" that integrates practical AI innovation to help fleets maximize performance, visibility, and safety. The Responsibility of the Incumbent: Unlike startups that lead with "bombastic" promises, Trimble prioritizes its role as the foundational "system of record" for the world's largest supply chains, where stability and reliability are non-negotiable. A "Safety-First" AI Philosophy: Because Trimble's software manages critical infrastructure and multi-billion dollar logistics networks, their innovation roadmap is built on a "safety-first" framework to ensure no disruption to global commerce. The Three-Phase AI Maturity Model: Trimble is following a logical, tiered progression into the AI age: starting with internal adoption, moving to AI-enhanced features, and ultimately launching AI-native applications. "Eating Their Own Cooking": Before shipping AI solutions to customers, Trimble utilizes AI internally to refine the technology, ensuring they can provide honest, experience-based guidance to their partners. Enhancing the Proven vs. Chasing the New: A core pillar of their current strategy is adding AI-powered features to existing, trusted solutions (like TMW.Suite or TMT) to provide immediate value without requiring a total system overhaul. The Shift to AI-Native Applications: The next frontier for Trimble is the development of applications built from the ground up on AI architectures, designed to solve complex logistics problems that traditional logic-based software cannot. Prioritizing Practicality Over Hype: Trimble's focus remains squarely on the "practical uses" of AI—solving real-world friction in dispatch, maintenance, and routing—rather than following fleeting technology trends. Innovation as Change Management: Trimble recognizes that the hardest part of the AI transition isn't the code; it's the human element. Their strategy includes a heavy focus on onboarding, training, and building the "Customer Trust" necessary for long-term adoption.

Algorithms and automations have been buds for a decade plus.

1036: What does it mean to manage a digital workforce? In this episode of Technovation, we feature a panel from our most recent Metis Strategy Summit where three top executives explore how AI is reshaping work, both automating tasks, and changing the nature of management itself. Peter High speaks with: Jennifer Charters, Chief Information Officer at Lincoln Financial Prasanna Gopalakrishnan, Chief Product & AI Officer at ADP Daniel Marcu, Global Head of AI Engineering at Goldman Sachs Together, they discuss: Why AI agents require new thinking about team structure and oversight How CIOs and CHROs must partner to build enterprise AI fluency The risks of shadow AI and the need for secure platforms How habit loops and performance incentives impact AI adoption What it takes to balance innovation speed with organizational readiness

In this episode, Daniel Lereya (Chief Product and Technology Officer @ Monday.com) shares how they are evolving their engineering roles from developers to builders & system designers, where the lines between product, engineering, and design are intentionally blurred, and developers manage AI Agents as team members, tackling an ever-expanding list of projects. We explore the shift from "developer" to "system designer" and why managing AI agents requires the same skills as managing people. Plus, a case study where the Monday.com team leveraged AI agents to decompose a monolith, autonomously manage the project board and assign strategic / high-risk tasks to humans. ABOUT DANIEL LEREYADaniel Lereya has served as Chief Product and Technology Officer at monday.com since 2023. In this role, he focuses on advancing monday.com's multi-product vision and operational efficiencies while driving execution to support company growth.

With the rapid evolution of Generative AI, customer experience (CX) is evolving rapidly, too. In a recent episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Mike Gozzo, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Ada, sat down with host Christina Stathopoulos, Founder of Dare to Data. They talked about how generative AI is changing business-to-customer interactions.“I view it not just as a business opportunity, but we are here to solve a problem that has existed as long as commerce has,” Gozzo said. He emphasised that AI's goal isn't just efficiency. It is about building trust and clearly understanding customer needs to allow productive interactions.Artificial intelligence, he noted, “has really enabled what used to be much more costly to happen at scale.” The Ada Chief Product and Technology Officer pointed out that the best customer experiences are highly personalised. Comparing it to arriving at a luxury hotel where the staff already knows your name, even on your first visit. He noted that modern AI aims to make such experiences, which were once only for a select few, common for everyone.Looking to the future, Gozzo tells Stathopoulos he believes generative AI will foster more engagement between customers and brands. “If I consider the trend, I think we will have much more natural, personalised, and effortless interactions than ever before because of this technology.”Gen AI's impact on Customer Data When discussing operational challenges, especially regarding customer data management, the guest speaker stressed quality over quantity. Gozzo explained that in most AI set-ups, “the real value lies not in the data you've collected, but in the understanding of how your business runs, operates, and the people doing the tasks you want to automate.”Governance, Human Orchestration & the Future of AIBeyond personalisation, AI should be implemented responsibly and monitored closely. “The first thing with any AI deployment is to avoid thinking of it as software you buy, deploy, and forget. They need ongoing monitoring, engagement, and maintenance,” Gozzo tells Stathopoulos. He suggested thorough testing processes and collaboration with specialised companies like AIUC, which verify AI systems against common risks. “These tests need to happen quarterly or yearly because the underlying models change so rapidly,” he added.In addition to regularly conducting AI checks, the human element is also critical. AI might automate up to 80% of routine tasks, but humans will still play a vital role. Gozzo described the human role as that of an orchestrator, managing teams that include both humans and AI systems and effectively delegating tasks between them.Finally, Gozzo talked about AI's immediate impact on customer experience. “Our leading customers' AI agents are outperforming humans. They deliver higher-quality customer service experiences, and customers prefer interacting with their AI.” The key measure, he said, is the positive effect on business growth and customer lifetime value.The chief technology officer's parting advice to IT decision makers is: “The people on your team know how to make AI work. Capture their insights. Don't treat this as a technology project. The technologist will not dominate the next decade. This is about business leaders and experts doing the heavy lifting.”At the core of generative and agentic AI, Gozzo...

On this episode, I speak to Sean O'Neill. Sean is the Chief Product & Technology Officer at Syncron, and an executive product leader with a storied career spanning companies like Amazon, Tesco, and GfK. We bond over our shared history at GfK, speak about how Amazon has influenced his product thinking, how it's developed since he moved on, and his approach to portfolio management and right-sizing investments across the product portfolio. We cover a lot, including: There's no greater crime than building something the universe doesn't need: Sean's ten key product principles that he lists on LinkedIn - first developed at Tesco - all matter, but building pointless stuff tops his list of product sins. Use the right tool for the job: Amazon shaped Sean's product DNA, but he's clear that context is king - you can't simply transplant Big Tech practices into legacy environments and expect them to work wholesale. Most companies under-invest in their strategy: When progress stalls, it's usually because teams are spread too thin across BAU work and one-off feature requests. The best product firms align time and capacity to strategic bets (or admit that they're a professional services company). Adopt a portfolio mindset: Sean's capital allocation framework helps leaders size and re-balance investments, ensuring resources go where they'll have the biggest impact - and revisiting regularly (but not too regularly) to stay honest. Learn the language of money: Too many product leaders avoid finance. Sean argues that financial literacy isn't optional if you want credibility with the board and real influence on business outcomes.

Australia needs control over its intelligence layer, not just its data. We explore SCX's sovereign AI cloud, Project Magpie's cultural reasoning, and why inference economics and time-to-market beat hype-driven buildouts.• sovereign AI as control and context, not just security• SCX's inference cloud and partnership with SambaNova• Project Magpie fine-tuning the reasoning layer for Australia• training vs inference split to optimize cost and speed• tokens per kilowatt as the core unit economics• open source vs closed models in enterprise adoption• retrofitting existing data centers with pre-assembled racks• moving pilots to production through cost, control, and confidence• regional strategy across Southeast Asia and exportable tokens• agents shifting work to domain teams, doing more not just cutting costs• candid MBA debate on value, narrative, and people skills• playful Spark Tank on pickleball and rapid-fire personal insightsWhat if a nation's most critical asset isn't oil, power, or spectrum—but intelligence? We sit down with Southern Cross AI (SCX) founder David Keane, co-founder and CSO Akash Agrawal, and SambaNova's Chief Product and Strategy Officer Abhi Ingle to unpack how a sovereign AI cloud can protect context, culture, and control while still competing on cost and speed. From Australia's national needs to regional demand across Southeast Asia, we chart a pragmatic route from vision to working systems.David explains why SCX is built around inference as a service and how Project Magpie fine-tunes the reasoning layer so models “think like an Australian,” reflecting local law, language, and norms. Abhi breaks down training vs inference in plain English, clarifying why pretraining might live on massive GPU clusters while high-throughput, energy-efficient inference thrives on SambaNova's ASIC-based systems. Akash digs into enterprise realities—data sovereignty, runaway costs, and integration roadblocks—and makes the case for open source models you can fork, fine-tune, and operate within your perimeter.We get practical about tokens per kilowatt as the new ROI, pre-assembled racks that drop into existing data centers, and managed services that cut time-to-market from years to months. We explore why most buyers don't care which chip is under the hood—they care about latency, reliability, and price—and how that shifts competition from hardware logos to delivered outcomes.

Everywhere you turn, someone's trying to fake something like an image, a voice, or even an entire identity. With AI tools now in almost anyone's hands, it takes minutes, not days, to create a convincing fake. That's changed the game for both sides. The fraudsters have new weapons, and the rest of us are scrambling to keep up. The real question now isn't just how to stop scams, but how to know who or what to trust online. My guest today, Bala Kumar, spends his days on the front lines of that battle. He's the Chief Product and Technology Officer at Jumio, a company working to make digital identity verification faster, smarter, and safer. Bala has more than twenty years in the industry, including leadership roles at TransUnion, and he's seen firsthand how the race between innovation and exploitation never really ends. It just keeps speeding up. In our conversation, Bala shares how generative AI has supercharged the fraud world, what makes identity such a fragile link in digital trust, and why biometrics may finally offer a way forward. We also dig into the psychology behind online risk, how convenience often wins over caution, and what small habits can help people protect themselves in an age where deception looks more real than ever. Show Notes: [01:04] Bala Kumar has a background in product management and fraud prevention from TransUnion to Jumio. [01:59] He describes how fraudsters constantly evolve, forcing companies to anticipate attacks instead of just reacting. [03:56] The quality of manipulated images has skyrocketed, making real vs. fake nearly indistinguishable. [05:17] Jumio's systems catch most fake IDs, but Bala admits even advanced systems must keep auditing for missed fraud. [07:16] Regular audits and rapid response cycles help Jumio identify attack spikes within 24–48 hours. [09:40] Generative AI has dramatically increased the speed and volume of fraud attempts across industries. [11:33] Jumio uses cross-transaction risk analysis to detect emerging fraud patterns and shut down attacks quickly. [13:00] Fraudsters move from one platform to another, always searching for weaker defenses and faster wins. [15:10] Bala explains how fraud prevention has expanded beyond banking into gaming, dating, and gig platforms. [16:38] Consumers crave low friction, which ironically makes them more vulnerable to scams. [17:20] Instant gratification culture pressures companies to reduce security steps, fueling greater risk. [19:52] New AI-driven fraud tactics include injected camera feeds and highly realistic deep fakes. [20:12] Old tricks like “send me a selfie with proof” no longer work—deepfakes can now mimic anything. [22:22] Bala sees biometrics as the next major safeguard for digital identity and real-time verification. [23:12] Facial recognition has become mainstream, paving the way for secure and low-friction identity checks. [26:19] Jumio is already deploying biometric check-ins for events and hotel registrations with great success. [27:30] Account recovery and payout systems now use liveness and device checks to confirm identity safely. [30:09] Bala critiques outdated knowledge-based questions like “What's your favorite food?” as unreliable security. [31:12] Consumers lack visibility into which apps use strong verification or multi-factor authentication. [33:56] He calls for an independent rating system to rank apps based on security and identity protection. [37:53] Bala urges users to question why companies ask for personal data like SSNs or ZIP codes. [39:29] Even a ZIP code and last name can expose personal records, highlighting the need for awareness. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

In this episode of The Product Experience, Patrick Ndjientcheu, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Irembo, shares how his team transitioned from delivering projects for government to building a portfolio of scalable products. Patrick talks about shifting mindsets from execution to strategy, spinning out payments and identity into independent products, and the challenges of balancing internal bias with customer needs. He also reveals how Irembo is evolving into a super app, why sales enablement is crucial in a B2B context, and the lessons he has learned guiding teams through the move from project to product to product portfolio.Six things we learned from PatrickProject to product mindset: Repeat customer demand signals value, turn ad-hoc projects into structured products with identity, principles, and strategy.Team restructuring without turnover: Shifting from project delivery to product development requires reorganising teams around capabilities.Spinouts emerge from features: Payments and identity started as embedded features, but with scale and external demand, became standalone products.Bias is real: Teams naturally over-index on the dominant revenue product. Separation, customer interviews, and rebranding are critical to balance focus.Sales enablement matters: Without educating sales and customers on new platform capabilities, adoption stalls and value is under-communicated.Leadership lesson: Product leaders must bring the whole organisation on the journey—marketing, sales, finance, and operations—not just product teams.Featured Links: Follow Patrick on LinkedIn | Irembo | Inspire Africa Our HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

Why do firms silently bleed customers, and how can AI help stop it? In this revealing episode of AI Knowhow from Knownwell, CMO Courtney Baker, CEO David DeWolf, and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao lift the curtain on the biggest Knownwell platform update yet. They explore how AI can detect hidden signals across departments, sometimes before the metrics even move, and why ignoring 90% of the noise is just as critical as surfacing the right 10%. Using a playful analogy involving Courtney and Mohan's beloved Oura Rings, the team illustrates how contextual clues in client relationships can predict major issues before they explode. David and Mohan explain how Knownwell's new features proactively identify fires, budget pressures, and executive turnover to help firms avoid disaster. In this week's “AI in the Wild,” Pete Buer breaks down a controversial Microsoft memo that makes AI usage mandatory and raises deeper questions about critical thinking, tool diversity, and performance reviews. Plus, in part two of his interview, Matt Stauffer, CEO of Tighten, shares why AI hasn't radically changed his software team's structure—and how seeing AI as a junior developer helps separate hype from reality. His take? AI shines in grunt work but still needs human oversight to deliver excellence. Explore how to stop flying blind and start harnessing AI for what it does best before it's too late.

When we talk about the future of enterprise software, AI is front and center. But behind the buzzwords, real transformation is happening in how businesses plan, execute, and deliver professional services. In this episode, I sat down with Raju Malhotra, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Certinia, to explore how AI is shifting from theory to practice in high-scale environments. Certinia, a native ISV on Salesforce, is helping global tech and service firms like Cisco, Siemens, and PwC automate their services operations. With over two million users and six million active projects, the platform isn't just adding AI for the sake of it. It's embedding it directly into workflows to solve tangible business challenges. Raju shares a clear framework for understanding how different types of AI are being implemented. Predictive AI is already deeply integrated into enterprise processes. Generative AI is gaining traction for simplifying content and communication. Agentic AI, the most recent frontier, enables digital agents to complete complex tasks independently within enterprise guardrails. What stood out in our conversation was the emphasis on outcomes over features. Raju makes a compelling case for starting every technology decision by understanding the customer's goals. Certinia's approach avoids chasing trends for the sake of headlines. Instead, the focus is on delivering results like improved margins, higher resource utilization, and smarter project delivery. We also discussed Certinia's early adoption of Salesforce's Agent Force and how their team works closely with Salesforce engineering to align on AI strategy. Rebranding their ERP Cloud to Financial Management Cloud was another move that reflects their sharper focus on services-centric financials, rather than trying to be everything to everyone. There's a clear message in this conversation. Innovation in AI must be matched with investment in performance, latency, scale, and user experience. For any tech leader navigating the AI landscape, Raju's insights provide a grounded, real-world guide. How are you aligning your AI investments with measurable business outcomes?
