Recorded live at the Retail Technology Show at ExCeL London, in partnership with Flooid, host Graham Barrett speaks with senior leaders shaping the future of retail. His guests were: 1/ Martyn Osborne, EMEA CEO, Flooid 2/ Ana Machado da Silva, VP Digital Product, Pentland Brands 3/ Jonathan Turton, Ecommerce Manager, TrueStart Coffee 4/ Hannah Hardy, Head of eCommerce, Rab Equipment 5/ Komal Koul, Head of Digital Performance, Currys Together, they explore how retailers are modernising store systems, rethinking digital commerce, and balancing AI‑driven innovation with the human experience. The episode opens with Martyn Osborne, EMEA CEO at Flooid, who reflects on 35 years in retail technology and how the industry has shifted from isolated point solutions to unified, composable platforms. Martyn discusses why major transformation programmes often fail, from trying to change too much at once to forcing new systems to behave like old ones, and explains how Flooid's blueprint‑led, flexible architecture helps retailers adapt quickly while still delivering core stability. He also looks ahead to the next wave of digital transformation, from conversational analytics to AI that delivers real business value rather than “just a badge.” Next, Ana Machado da Silva, VP of Digital Product at Pentland Brands, shares lessons from implementing Shopify at scale across a multi‑brand portfolio including Speedo, Berghaus, Ellesse and Canterbury. Ana explains why Shopify's pace of innovation is both a strength and a challenge, how integration complexity is often underestimated, and why brands must maintain consistent storytelling across wholesale partners and DTC channels. She also explores the evolving expectations around personalisation, and how AI may finally make true one‑to‑one experiences achievable. We then hear from Jonathan Turton, E‑commerce Manager at TrueStart Coffee, who discusses the company's shift to a subscription‑first model following rapid growth and new investment. Jonathan explains how subscriptions support loyalty, community and predictable revenue, why Shopify store credit beats traditional points‑based loyalty, and how unified promotion planning across grocery, Amazon and DTC channels prevents customer frustration. He also offers a grounded view on AI in commerce — optimistic about agentic AI for customer value, but sceptical of tools that claim more than they deliver. Hannah Hardy, Head of E‑commerce at Rab Equipment, brings an outdoor performance perspective, discussing how Rab balances technical product storytelling with frictionless digital journeys, and how the brand is thinking about personalisation, seasonality and channel mix in a sector where authenticity and trust are critical. Finally, Komal Koul, Head of Digital Performance at Currys, rounds out the episode with a big‑box, omnichannel view, exploring how Currys approaches digital performance marketing, connects online and in‑store journeys, and uses data and experimentation to drive both conversion and long‑term customer value in a highly competitive, promotion‑heavy category. A wide‑ranging, insight‑rich episode capturing how retailers are modernising platforms, simplifying operations, and preparing for a future where composable technology, AI‑driven intelligence and human‑centred design must all work together.

DeFi transparency means every onchain trade is visible.Which means the moment a strategy works, the market can copy it.In this episode of MoneyNeverSleeps, Pete Townsend speaks with Matteo Manzi, co-founder and CEO of Orion Finance, about a structural challenge emerging in onchain asset management: the same transparency that makes blockchain markets verifiable can also expose the intellectual property behind trading strategies.Matteo describes this tension with a simple phrase: “transparency equals liability.” If every transaction is visible in real time, sophisticated traders — or automated smart contracts — can monitor strategies and replicate trades almost instantly.Orion Finance is building infrastructure designed to address this problem. The idea draws inspiration from the multi-pod hedge fund model used by firms like Millennium, where multiple trading teams run independent strategies while sharing capital, infrastructure, and execution efficiency.Matteo calls this concept “Millennium onchain.”Instead of isolated vaults competing in the open, Orion's architecture allows strategies to operate within a shared system where trades can be netted internally, capital can be allocated across strategies, and execution costs can be reduced — all while preserving the confidentiality of the underlying trading logic.Across crypto and traditional finance, the conversation around onchain asset management is beginning to shift from simple tokenized products toward actively managed strategies, capital aggregation platforms, and composable financial infrastructure.If transparency allows markets to verify what is happening, privacy may be required to make those markets investable.We cover• Why transparency can become a liability for trading strategies• How onchain vault strategies can be copied in real time• What Matteo means by “Millennium onchain”• How multi-strategy capital platforms could emerge in DeFi• Why internal trade crossing and netting improve capital efficiency• How composable vaults could reshape investment productsMatteo brings a builder's perspective shaped by designing infrastructure for onchain portfolio management, explaining how privacy, verifiability, and capital efficiency can coexist in the next generation of financial markets.If you're a founder, operator, or investor trying to understand how professional asset management may evolve onchain, this episode explores one possible path forward.⏱️ Chapters00:00 — Cold open: strategies get copied00:28 — “Transparency equals liability”02:40 — Why DeFi strategies leak alpha04:05 — Orion's multi-pod architecture07:05 — “Millennium onchain” explained10:30 — Composable vault strategies12:45 — The future of DeFi asset managementFor full show notes and guest links, see below.MoneyNeverSleeps explores one big idea each week in under 15 minutes with founders, operators, and investors shaping crypto, fintech, AI, and onchain finance.If you're interested in where financial infrastructure is heading — from stablecoins and tokenised assets to AI-driven markets — subscribe and join the conversation.

In a world where customer expectations evolve faster than ever, organisations are rethinking how they manage and leverage data. Legacy, monolithic Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) are increasingly challenged by rigidity, slow adaptability, and regulatory pressures. In this episode of Tech Transformed, Christina Stathopoulos, Founder of Dare to Data, speaks with Joe Pulickal, Director of Product Management at Uniphore, about the shift to composable CDPs and what it means for modern marketing technology.Moving Away from Monolithic CDPsOrganisations are moving away from rigid, all-in-one CDPs as regulations around data privacy, consent, and cross-border data flows intensify. Joe explains that companies can no longer rely on systems that lock them into a single architecture or make compliance retrofitting difficult. Data governance, consent management, and data sovereignty have become critical considerations in every technology decision, forcing leaders to rethink the underlying structure of their CDPs.Challenges in Composable SystemsWhile composable CDPs offer flexibility, they introduce new challenges. Organisations must define ownership and accountability within modular systems to prevent fragmentation and ensure consistent data quality. Leadership must consider how compute, storage, and access are distributed across modules while maintaining compliance and security standards. Joe notes that without clarity on ownership, organisations risk operational inefficiency and weakened governance.Flexibility and Modularity in Data ManagementThe core advantage of composable architectures lies in modularity. By decoupling components from data ingestion to activation, organisations gain the freedom to innovate without being constrained by a monolithic platform. Joe emphasises: “You need flexibility in where data lives, how compute happens, ultimately doubling down on sovereignty, security, and that composable idea that initially started with data.” This approach allows teams to adopt new tools, scale selectively, and respond to changing business or regulatory requirements with agility.Embracing First-Party Data StrategiesThe shift to first-party data strategies is essential in today's marketing landscape. With third-party cookies being phased out and privacy regulations tightening, companies must rely on direct, trusted data from their customers. Composable CDPs provide the framework to centralise first-party data while giving teams the ability to personalise experiences, maintain compliance, and safeguard trust. Joe highlights that organisations need to view data not just as an asset, but as a responsibility, balancing customer value with ethical management.Here are what leaders can do:Rethink data architecture: Move from monolithic to composable systems to gain flexibility, scalability, and regulatory alignment.Prioritise governance: Define ownership, consent management, and security practices across modular components.Focus on first-party data: Build direct customer relationships and leverage trusted data responsibly.Embrace modularity: Enable innovation, adaptability, and resilience in data management through composable design.This episode offers practical insights for leaders navigating the transition from traditional CDPs to composable architectures. It highlights how thoughtful design, governance, and first-party data strategies empower organisations to act with agility, comply with regulations, and...

We join a fair number of projects, and we often help teams bring their project up to our standard. This means bringing a lot of the same small pieces from project to project.In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we rethink our “project standard” repo. Instead of a full Laravel skeleton, we propose a composable library of tool-specific, versioned configs (PHPUnit, Docker, etc.). We walk through the benefits for greenfield and legacy work, open questions about test organization, and how this approach scales as tools evolve.(00:00) - Why we keep our tooling current (00:15) - The “project standard” repo is aging (01:30) - Reference guide vs installable skeleton (02:30) - Supporting old and new stacks (versions, tags) (03:30) - Pivot: organize by tool and version, not app (04:30) - Example plan: folders for PHPUnit 11/12 (and beyond) (05:15) - What belongs where? Tests, traits, and context (10:00) - Docker-first thinking; where Horizon config lives (11:15) - Open questions: PHPUnit vs Pest vs “testing” folder (12:15) - Takeaway: evolve the repo as the tools evolve (12:45) - Silly bit Want help making your project as organized as one of our projects?

Fredrik talks to Matt Topol about Arrow and how the Arrow ecosystem is evolving. Arrow is an open source, columnar in-memory data format designed for efficient data processing and analytics - which means passing data between things without needing to transform it, and ideally even without needing to copy it. What makes the ecosystem grow, and why is it very cool to have Arrow on the GPU? What is the connection between Arrow, machine learning, and Hugging face? Matt emphasizes the value of open standards, even as they work with or within more closed systems they can help open things up, and help bring about more modular solutions so that developers can focus on doing their core area really well. This episode can be seen as a follow-up to episode 567, where Matt first joined to discuss everything Arrow. Recorded during Øredev 2024. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!
