There's concerns among experts following the latest medical platform hack that's left an impact on Kiwis. MediMap is widely used across New Zealand, particularly in aged care, disability, hospice, and community health. Some users' information had been changed, including altering ages, changing patient's names to Charlie Kirk - and claiming living users were deceased. CISO Lens Country Manager Nadia Yousef says it's unclear why this happened, and there's nothing hinting towards extortion or blackmail just yet. "It's not clear who did it, it's very unclear why - there's, I think, a lot more to follow over the next few days." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Brad Latilla-Campbell, Country Manager at Crimson Education about the growing number of South African students gaining admission to top US universities and the role Crimson Education is playing in that pipeline.

Australia isn't just another western market. Amazon learned this quickly in its 12th market roll out. In this episode of The CMO Show, Lena Zak, Country Manager for Amazon Business Australia, discusses the nuances of branding in an unusually personal, human‑to‑human business culture with distinct approaches to buying and supplier relationships.  From buyer instincts shaped by Amazon's B2C footprint to the procurement friction unique to local organisations, Lena shares the surprises that forced her team to rethink assumptions and rework their approach, including the need to explain what Amazon Business even is before they could persuade anyone why it matters.  What are Lena's biggest lessons?  How listening beat out global playbooks in a market where trust still trumps technology  How the whimsical Little Bo Peep campaign became an unlikely shortcut to clarity and cultural connection  Why simplicity in fast shipping, easy controls and fewer suppliers to manage proved the strongest lever for earning confidence with Australian organisations navigating digital transformation.  It's a behind‑the‑scenes look at the decisions, challenges and creative swings that defined one of Amazon's most interesting market launches and a reminder that in B2B, understanding how people buy is still the most powerful strategy of all.  This episode is brought to you by impact advisory, communications and events agency, ImpactInstitute in partnership with Adobe.  www.impactinstitute.com.au | https://business.adobe.com/au

En esta entrevista de #VidaDigital, Martín Henao, Country Manager de IFX Networks en Panamá, analiza los desafíos de continuidad operativa en el sector bancario panameño y regional, marcado por interrupciones en apps móviles y cajeros automáticos, con pérdidas estimadas en $5,600 por minuto según Gartner.Henao destaca las estrategias multinube como solución clave para mitigar ciberataques como ransomware (uno cada 20 segundos globalmente), phishing y malware, enfatizando balanceo entre nubes privadas (como el data center Tier 3 de IFX en Panamá, SOC 2 Type 2) y públicas, con garantías de costos absorbidos por IFX en fallos.Se abordan temas como inmutabilidad de datos para backups seguros, control de costos (storage caliente/frío, 15-20% más económico que nubes públicas), cumplimiento regulatorio local y el "síndrome del backup de Schrödinger" (respaldo que existe y no existe hasta ser probado), promoviendo simulacros y educación a usuarios para evitar impactos en transacciones diarias. IFX ofrece "seguro de vida" para continuidad, replicación automática y storage como servicio, posicionando la multinube como tendencia dominante para resiliencia financiera en Latinoamérica reactiva ante amenazas cibernéticas.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! My guest this week is building the financial infrastructure that Africa deserves. As Chief Operating Officer of KoinKoin and CEO + Country Manager of KoinKoin Ghana Ltd, a leading African digital asset exchange, Mimi Kufuor is creating digital assets solutions that work for real people. She comes to this work after spending 15 years navigating the most complex corners of institutional finance - from regulatory programmes at Bank of America and Barclays to compliance frameworks at Meta, working alongside the European Central Bank and managing initiatives worth £10m+. In that span, she learned how money actually moves, how regulators operate, and how to build systems that can scale with integrity. She continues working with companies navigating African markets, building compliant exchange operations, or trying to understand how digital assets can solve actual problems. Recognized as one of Africa's “Top Fintech Voices,” she has shaped policy discourse at UK Parliamentary Summits, Financial Times Live events, and African Fintech Summits. Mimi champions financial inclusion, women's leadership in fintech, and regulatory frameworks that position Africa as a pioneer in the global digital economy, building infrastructure that empowers individuals and businesses to access decentralized finance. As another certified Glocal Citizen, Mimi and I first connected as housemates in Morocco courtesy of mutual friend that you'll hear about in our conversation Afua Dabanka, the inspired experience curator behind A Beautiful Life Travel. Last year on our trip to Kenya, I got to know about her work with KoinKoin and it is a pleasure to be able to share her progress a year later. #Listenandlearn more! Where to find Mimi?

Digital bank Monzo has released its inaugural edition of 'The Monzo Money Pulse', a research-led series exploring how Ireland feels about their money – this time delving into savings. The research commissioned by Monzo and conducted by Censuswide surveyed 1,000 Irish adults, revealing a clear 'Savings Gap' between people's financial ambitions and the reality of how their money actually works for them. Monzo found that almost two-thirds (65%) of Irish adults are determined to save more in 2026, yet just over a third of those with savings (34%) currently earn zero interest. However, if instant access interest-earning accounts were available to Irish adults, they would set aside an additional €40.80 per month, or €486 a year, per person. Scaled nationally, this would unlock €1.5 billion in additional savings each year that they could earn interest on. Elaine Deehan, Country Manager for Ireland at Monzo: "We know from our first customers in Ireland that saving can be a headache – whether it's wrestling with minimum deposits or feeling like your money is locked away. The Monzo Money Pulse shows a huge appetite for something better. We're excited to bring a way to earn interest while remaining totally in control and access the money whenever you need – all that with no maintenance fee or withdrawal charges." Key findings: Priority: Half (50%) of the respondents say they are focused on long-term savings, with a further quarter (26%) aiming for shorter-term savings goals. At the same time, 39% admit they have no money left to save at the end of each month, suggesting that even those with the best intentions are finding it difficult to get ahead. Lack of support: Fewer than half (45%) of respondents feel their bank supports them well in reaching their savings goals, and one in three (33%) say tools to help set and track savings goals would most improve their banking experience. Missing out: A third (34%) of those who save earn no interest at all, while 11% do not know whether their money is earning interest. Information barrier: Almost a fifth (19%) of those not earning interest on their savings say they do not understand options available to them, while 17% are worried about risk, and many describe saving as "too complicated" (16%). More flexibility needed: Instant access to cash is the number one barrier to earning interest, with 35% of respondents not earning interest on their savings saying they prefer to keep their money in an instant-access account rather than locking it up in a savings account, even if it means missing out on interest. Monzo's offer for a better way to earn interest As a fully licensed Irish bank new to the market, Monzo aims to make saving simpler and more rewarding – no fees, minimum deposit of €1 and accessible at any time. In the coming months, Irish customers will be able to open a free Monzo instant-access savings account in Ireland and earn a 1.6% Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) – around twelve times the average Irish rate on overnight deposits. All of this sits within an easy-to-use app, where Monzo's personal, joint, business, children's and instant-access savings accounts are all managed together, giving customers a clear, real-time overview of their money. Individuals and businesses can register at www.monzo.com/ie to join Monzo's waitlist for early access. The Monzo team will work closely with its first customers in Ireland to test and shape its initial products, delivering a banking experience that better reflects what Irish customers deserve.

Marco Barozzi is the Founder of Expo Consulting, with experience of over three decades in the exhibitions and events industry. His journey began with key roles in prestigious companies like the Blenheim Group, Miller Freeman, and Reed Exhibitions. Later, he founded Expo Consulting, helping organisations succeed in the complex and dynamic world of trade shows and events. Over the years, he has collaborated with numerous public institutions, SMEs, and event planners, sharing his expertise in trade show promotion, marketing strategy, project management, and exhibitor training. As the Country Manager of Fira Barcelona for the Italian market until 2022 and a faculty member of ICE/ ITA, he mentored numerous businesses and individuals, helping them navigate the intricacies of the event marketing landscape. When not immersed in the world of events, Marco enjoys travelling, reading, listening to music, and spending quality time with family and friends. Macro says that these experiences inspire and fuel his curiosity for discovering new ideas and perspectives. Marco Barozzi Event Marketing At Your Fingertips In this episode, Marco Barozzi talks about his book “Event Marketing At Your Fingertips” and topics from the book that can help exhibitors and organisers of trade shows to realise better returns from trade show participation. Marco explains many of the issues that exhibitors need to understand before planning or embarking upon participation in a trade show or event. These include actions such as setting objectives, researching the pros and cons of particular events, and training staff to have the correct approach in the booth. Exhibition organisers are often too obsessed with spaces and dimensions in a trade show, and do not pay enough attention to creating value for the exhibitor and the attendee. Exhibitors should get better education about trade shows and take the help of consultants and specialists to create better engagement at trade shows. Run time – 01:11:36 mins.

"Come as you are works in Japan when leaders are also willing to read the air and meet people where they are". "Japan isn't as risk-averse as people think; it is uncertainty avoidance and consensus norms like nemawashi and ringi-sho that slow decisions". "In Japan, numbers are universal, but how people feel about those numbers is where real leadership begins". "For foreign leaders, kindness, patience, and genuine curiosity are far more powerful than charisma or title". "Women leaders who embrace their own style, instead of copying male role models, can quietly transform Japanese workplaces".   Joanne Lin is Senior Director, APAC, for Deckers Brands, the American company behind UGG, HOKA, and Teva. Born in Taiwan and raised in Canada, she later completed her MBA at Boston University and began her career in Boston, working in a trading company and then at Merrill Lynch Investment Company. In 2000, she moved to Japan for family reasons and has since built a 25-year leadership career in this complex market. In Japan, Joanne first held senior finance roles, including Head of Finance for Reebok Japan and CFO for Aegis Media, where she worked on mergers and acquisitions. She joined Deckers over thirteen years ago as CFO for Japan and was later asked to step in as interim Country Manager for Deckers Japan. Today she is back in an APAC-wide role, responsible for finance and strategy across 15 markets, including Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. Her remit covers subsidiaries and distributor markets alike, requiring constant adaptation across cultures. Throughout her journey, Joanne has learned to reconcile a direct, North American style with Japan's more implicit, consensus-driven culture. Often mistaken for Japanese because of her appearance, she calls herself the "invisible gaijin", using that ambiguity to observe carefully, read body language, and bridge cultural expectations. Her leadership story is one of resilience, curiosity, and the quiet confidence to lead as herself in a country that often expects conformity. Joanne Lin's leadership journey began far from Japan. Born in Taiwan and raised in Toronto, she grew up immersed in North American directness, meritocracy, and straight-talking feedback. After completing an MBA at Boston University, she started her career in Boston, first at a trading company and then at Merrill Lynch Investment Company, building a strong foundation in finance. Numbers, ratios, and cash flows were her native business language long before she ever heard the phrase kūki o yomu — "reading the air" — in Japan. In 2000, she moved to Japan for family reasons, expecting to build a career but not realising how deeply the culture would challenge her assumptions about leadership. She entered the corporate world here without Japanese language skills and without local experience. Physically, many colleagues assumed she was Japanese, or at least of Japanese descent, and treated her accordingly. She jokes that she became an "invisible gaijin": expected to understand unspoken rules despite never having grown up with them. Early on, she discovered that in Japan, silence often speaks louder than words. Concepts akin to nemawashi — the quiet groundwork of building consensus before meetings — and the unspoken pressure to align with the group meant that decisions rarely came from a single, charismatic leader. Instead, she had to watch faces, posture and micro-reactions around the table. While she came from an environment where people said "yes" or "no" clearly, in Japan phrases like "I'll think about it" could mean "no" 80% of the time. Learning to interpret these signals became as important as reading the P&L. Her career advanced steadily through senior finance roles: Head of Finance for Reebok Japan, CFO for Aegis Media leading M&A, and later CFO for Deckers Japan. Over thirteen years at Deckers, she helped steer the growth of brands such as UGG and the fast-rising performance brand HOKA in one of the world's most competitive footwear markets. Eventually, she was asked to serve as interim Country Manager for Deckers Japan, an opportunity that tested her ability to go beyond numbers and lead entire functions including sales, marketing, HR and retail. Joanne's leadership philosophy is grounded in being genuine and transparent. She believes in explaining the "why" behind decisions, giving context, and aligning people rather than simply seeking agreement. She spends time helping non-finance colleagues understand what gross margin, discounts and operating income mean in practical terms, translating finance into everyday language rather than using it as a gatekeeping tool. Engagement surveys, where Japan often scores modestly compared with global benchmarks, have been a recurring theme in her work. Rather than blaming culture, she looks at how questions are worded, how norms shape responses, and then uses those insights to design practical remedies — from "lunch and learn" sessions to cross-functional gatherings and new-joiner lunches with senior leaders. As a woman leader, Joanne has wrestled with impostor syndrome yet chosen to step forward anyway. She sees many high-potential women in Japan holding back, waiting to be "perfect" before raising their hand. Her message to them is clear: trust yourself, recognise your natural strengths in communication and empathy, and accept that no leader — male or female — is ever fully ready. In the end, her story is about blending global experience with local nuance, leading with kindness and clarity, and proving that one can honour Japanese culture while still bringing a distinct, authentic leadership style to the table. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? For Joanne, leadership in Japan is defined by what is not said. The real meeting often happens before and after the official meeting, through nemawashi, where stakeholders quietly shape outcomes. In the room, kūki o yomu — reading the air — is critical: leaders must observe body language, side glances and subtle hesitations to interpret what people truly think. Formal tools like ringi-sho workflows, built on stamped approvals and consensus, reinforce a collective approach to decision-making. Japanese employees often assume the leader should already know their needs without them having to say it. That expectation of intuitive understanding, combined with a strong norm of harmony, makes empathetic listening and patience indispensable leadership skills. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives often arrive with a Western template: clear targets, rapid decisions, direct feedback. In Japan, that can clash with a culture that prizes stability, seniority and group consensus. Leaders may misinterpret indirect communication as indecisiveness or lack of ambition, when in fact people are carefully weighing the impact on the group. Engagement surveys then show Japan at the bottom of global rankings, and headquarters misreads this as disengagement, rather than a reflection of conservative scoring norms. Many foreign leaders also underestimate how much time must be invested in trust-building, one-on-one conversations, and slow-burn relationship work before people feel safe to share ideas or challenge the status quo. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Joanne sees Japan as more uncertainty-avoidant than risk-averse in the pure financial sense. As a finance professional, she knows that commercial risk can be quantified — through scenarios, ratios and forecasts. But in Japan, the social and reputational risks loom equally large: who will be blamed if this fails, what will it do to group harmony, how will customers react? These uncertainty factors slow decisions more than the numbers themselves. Leaders who introduce tools like decision intelligence platforms, scenario simulation or even digital twins of supply chains can help Japanese teams see risk in a structured way, reducing the emotional fear around uncertainty and making experimentation feel safer. What leadership style actually works? The style that works for Joanne is grounded in transparency, modesty and consistency. She leads by example, explaining not only what must be done, but why, and what it means for individuals and teams. She tries to give her people "airtime", resisting the urge — common to many finance leaders — to jump straight to the solution. In practice, that means listening to ideas without immediate judgement, thanking people publicly for their input, and celebrating small wins as much as big milestones. She maintains high standards but increasingly recognises that not everyone should be held to the same work rhythm she sets for herself. Alignment, not forced agreement, is the goal: people may disagree but still commit to the path once they feel heard. How can technology help? Technology, in Joanne's world, is not just about efficiency; it is a bridge between data and human behaviour. Advanced analytics, dashboards and decision-support tools can make trade-offs between margin, volume and investment more tangible for non-finance teams. AI-driven text analysis of engagement comments can surface themes that traditional surveys miss, helping leaders understand sentiment behind Japan's modest scoring patterns. Scenario modelling and digital twins of operations can turn abstract risks into concrete options, making it easier for consensus-driven teams to move forward. At its best, technology supports nemawashi by giving everyone a shared, data-informed picture, rather than replacing dialogue. Does language proficiency matter? Joanne arrived in Japan with no Japanese language ability and was forced to become an intense observer of body language and context. That experience convinced her that leadership is possible without fluency — but far more sustainable with it. Learning Japanese shows respect, reduces distance, and makes informal conversations and humour possible. Even basic proficiency helps leaders understand nuance in ringi documents, hallway chats, and customer feedback. She encourages foreign leaders to invest in language learning not as a checkbox, but as a signal of commitment to the market and to their teams. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Her core lesson is simple yet demanding: be kind, be open, and be yourself. Leaders should stop expecting perfection from themselves and from others, especially in a country where external shocks like currency swings, tariffs and pandemics can derail even the best-laid plans. Instead, they should focus on doing their best, communicating clearly, and treating people with respect. For women leaders especially, Joanne's message is to step forward even when self-doubt whispers otherwise — to recognise that their strengths in empathy, communication and cultural sensitivity are not "soft" add-ons but central to effective leadership in Japan. In the long run, success here is less about heroics and more about steady, human-centred leadership that people genuinely want to follow. Timecoded Summary [00:00] The conversation opens with an introduction to Deckers Brands, the American company headquartered in Santa Barbara and best known in Japan for UGG, HOKA and Teva. Joanne explains that Deckers historically functions as a holding-style company, acquiring and growing footwear brands, and that Japan is a key market where three major brands are active. She outlines her current role as Senior Director, APAC, overseeing finance and strategy across 15 countries, including both subsidiaries and distributor markets. [05:20] Joanne traces her career arc: Taiwanese by birth, raised in Canada, MBA from Boston University, then finance roles in Boston with a trading company and Merrill Lynch Investment Company. In 2000 she relocates to Japan for family reasons, later becoming Head of Finance for Reebok Japan and CFO for Aegis Media, working on M&A. She joins Deckers over thirteen years ago as CFO for Japan and eventually steps into an interim Country Manager role, before returning to a wider APAC mandate based in Japan. [12:45] The discussion shifts to cultural adjustment. Because she "looks Japanese", colleagues initially assume she understands Japanese norms. She describes becoming an "invisible gaijin", held to local expectations without having grown up here. She learns to read the air, focusing on facial expressions, body language and context. Phrases like "I'll consider it" often conceal a "no", and she gradually becomes adept at interpreting such indirect communication. Her direct North American instincts must be tempered by Japanese expectations for restraint and harmony. [19:30] Finance and human reactions to numbers come into focus. Joanne notes that while sales, gross margin and SG&A appear objective, different functions interpret them in varied ways: finance may celebrate high margins while sales may worry they are under-investing. She stresses the importance of explaining financial concepts in simple terms, almost as if speaking to a 10-year-old, so that everyone can understand consequences. Her temporary shift from CFO to GM broadens her empathy for non-finance views and deepens her appreciation for cross-functional tension. [26:10] Attention turns to team engagement and communication. Japan's engagement survey scores routinely trail global averages, a pattern she attributes partly to cultural modesty and translation issues. Instead of accepting low scores as fate, she focuses on post-survey action: leaders are asked to talk openly with teams, understand expectations, and co-create remedies. Concrete initiatives such as "lunch and learn" sessions and new-joiner lunches with directors help break silos, humanise leadership and create informal nemawashi-like spaces where people can ask questions and share concerns. [33:40] Joanne discusses culture-building under the umbrella of Deckers' "Come as you are" value. She supports self-expression — even store staff in gender-fluid fashion — as long as it's tasteful and customer-appropriate. Her own leadership style is to be genuine, transparent and open about vulnerabilities. She balances the efficiency of top-down directives with the long-term benefits of participation: while consensus-building and alignment take time, they reduce turnover, re-training costs and disengagement. [40:15] Gender and leadership come into sharper focus. Joanne recounts her own bouts of impostor syndrome and the temptation, earlier in her career, to doubt her readiness for bigger roles. She notes that many women hesitate to raise their hands until they feel almost 100% qualified, while men may step up with far less. She encourages aspiring women leaders to recognise their strengths in empathy and nuanced communication, to "give it a try" even when not fully confident, and to view setbacks as learning rather than final verdicts. [47:30] The interview closes with advice for foreign leaders coming to Japan. Joanne emphasises being open, respectful and kind — to oneself and to others. She urges leaders to accept that Japan's deep-rooted culture will not change in a short posting, and that success depends on adapting rather than trying to remodel the country. Learning Japanese, even imperfectly, is both a sign of respect and a practical tool for building trust. Ultimately, she argues, effective leadership in Japan is about balancing data and humanity, global standards and local nuance, ambition and empathy.

En Capital Intereconomía, los Desayunos Capital han estado protagonizados por Inma Cima, Country Manager de Fastned España, compañía europea líder en recarga ultrarrápida de vehículos eléctricos, que acaba de inaugurar sus dos primeras estaciones en el país, ubicadas en Garraf Norte y Garraf Sur (Barcelona), con un total de 16 puntos de carga de hasta 400 kW, capaces de ofrecer 300 kilómetros de autonomía en tan solo 15 minutos. Cima ha subrayado que este lanzamiento marca el inicio de un ambicioso plan de expansión, con el objetivo de alcanzar una docena de estaciones a corto plazo y hasta 80 infraestructuras en 2030. Para Fastned, España “juega un papel clave en la transición hacia una movilidad eléctrica más avanzada” gracias a su posición estratégica y al creciente compromiso con la descarbonización. La directiva ha destacado también los principales retos del sector, entre ellos la burocracia y la falta de un marco regulatorio homogéneo, que siguen ralentizando el despliegue de la red de recarga. “Tenemos la tecnología y la inversión, pero necesitamos agilidad administrativa”, señaló. Además, defendió la importancia de la colaboración público-privada como motor del cambio hacia una movilidad más sostenible. Fastned se diferencia por su modelo de recarga ultrarrápida abierta y universal, disponible para todos los vehículos eléctricos, y por el diseño de sus estaciones —amplias, cubiertas y con energía 100% renovable— que busca mejorar la experiencia del usuario. Cima apuntó que España tiene “una gran oportunidad para liderar la movilidad eléctrica en Europa”, si logra acelerar la implantación de infraestructura de alta calidad. En la segunda parte del programa, Carlos Cruzado, portavoz de GESTHA, explicó los motivos detrás de la huelga convocada por los Técnicos de Hacienda para el 26 de noviembre, que incluirá una manifestación en Madrid con profesionales llegados de toda España. Cruzado denunció la falta de reconocimiento profesional y retributivo del colectivo, reclamando una reestructuración interna y mejoras en las condiciones laborales.
