Seeing Machines Ltd (AIM:SEE, OTC:SEEMF) CEO Paul McGlone talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's recent fourth-quarter KPIs and ongoing progress towards cash flow breakeven and profitability. McGlone said Seeing Machines had significantly reduced costs by over $1 million per month, a key milestone already flowing through to the company's accounts and growth plans. He highlighted a “dramatic recovery” in automotive royalties, with Q4 showing 36% quarter-on-quarter growth. McGlone added, “If that growth rate just maintains at, say, 20% for the next two quarters, we'll be right in the middle of our $700,000 to $750,000 range per quarter.” The CEO also shared positive developments in aftermarket demand for Guardian Generation 3, noting strong uptake across EMEA, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. The company delivered more than 2,500 Gen 3 units in the quarter, and is targeting between 6,000 and 6,500 units per quarter by year-end. McGlone explained that sales momentum is underpinned by regulatory drivers such as the upcoming General Safety Regulation (GSR) in Europe, as well as an active RFQ pipeline and trials with around 20 new customers globally. On the automotive side, while RFQ closures have been delayed due to the European summer, McGlone said, “The RFQ pipeline is actually really strong,” adding that all current programs are hitting start-of-production timelines. He reaffirmed the company's two strategic focus areas: growth in royalties and Gen 3 unit sales. With GSR set to drive significant royalty expansion through to July 2026, McGlone expressed confidence in the company's growth trajectory.

“We're now close to a quarter billion dollars in revenue, with operations across North America, EMEA, and APAC—and we're just getting started.” — Russ Reeder, CEO, XTIUM Technology Reseller News spoke with Russ Reeder, CEO, and Leon Schuurmans, Managing Director of EMEA at XTIUM, about the company's official launch of direct operations in Europe. The podcast, hosted by publisher Doug Green, offers a deep dive into XTIUM's journey from a merger of ATSG and Evolve IP into a global managed service provider (MSP) with a full suite of IT, UCaaS, CCaaS, MDR, and AI-powered offerings. The move into Europe builds on a longstanding foundation. Schuurmans recounted how the company—then Evolve IP—pioneered contact center and unified communications services in the Netherlands as early as 2007. Now, the new XTIUM brand brings integrated IT and communications services to a market increasingly seeking consolidation, scale, and security. Reeder emphasized the strategic advantages of global reach paired with local expertise. The company has over 1,700 customers and supports over one million endpoints. Backed by more than $1 billion in acquisitions and $350 million in private equity investment, XTIUM is well-positioned to serve multinational customers across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Key offerings discussed include: Full MSP services including managed network, help desk, UCaaS, and CCaaS AI-enabled services, from internal sales and support tools to client-facing AI onboarding, security, and optimization Cybersecurity and MDR, especially critical in the face of regulatory and infrastructure shifts like Windows 11 adoption The company also shared how its premium support model and customer success focus drive long-term growth. “We don't throw customers over the wall,” Reeder noted, outlining a high-touch process from onboarding to strategic reviews aimed at turning clients into evangelists. In EMEA, Schuurmans sees key vertical growth in healthcare, finance, retail, and professional services, driven by urgent needs around cybersecurity and desktop virtualization. He plans to scale both direct customer engagements and indirect channel partner relationships over the next 12–18 months. Looking ahead, XTIUM will continue to grow both organically and through acquisition. With a clearly stated goal to become the go-to global MSP for mid-market and enterprise customers, Reeder summed up the company's mission: “Think globally, act locally.” Learn more at: https://xtium.com

When your audience thinks they already know your story, the boldest brands flip the script and earn their attention in the process. That's exactly what happens in Wicked, the smash-hit film adaptation that reimagines one of pop culture's most iconic villains. In this episode, we explore the marketing lessons behind it with special guest Allison MacLeod, Chief Marketing Officer & GM of US Education at Flywire.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from reframing brand narratives, building fan-level community, and executing with bold, high-stakes detail that actually gets noticed.About our guest, Allison MacleodAllison Macleod currently serves as Chief Marketing Officer & Head of US Education at Flywire (Nasdaq: FLYW), a global payments enablement & software company. At Flywire, Allison leads global marketing and revenue operations, & US Education sales, relationship management & pre-sales. She played a key role in guiding Flywire to a successful IPO in May 2021.Allison brings nearly 20 years of experience with a background spanning marketing and revenue-focused roles. Prior to Flywire, she spent seven years at Rapid7 (Nasdaq: RPD), where she played a pivotal role in building and scaling demand generation, business development, and analytics. Before that, she held various digital and field-based positions at Forrester, including launching the marketing function in EMEA.Outside of work, Allison sits on the Board of Trustees of the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council and serves as a strategic advisor to early-stage companies through F-Prime & Underscore VC.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Wicked:Reframe what they think they know. Wicked works because it flips a legacy story on its head. The same power lies in brand repositioning. “How do you really reframe what people think they know about you and your brand,” Allison says. Whether it's entering new markets or expanding product lines, your biggest unlock might come from telling your old story in a completely new way.Community is your flywheel. Wicked isn't just a show, it's a movement. Audiences don't just watch it, they live it. That level of advocacy isn't accidental. “How do you really cultivate that community, whether that's your clients, the advocacy, and make people… feel that deep passion for what you do,” Allison asks. In B2B, fandom might look like retention, referrals, or customer-led storytelling, but it starts with emotional connection.Be bold and unforgettable. Every production choice in Wicked is a masterclass in attention to detail. From the live vocals to the stunts, they took creative risks that resonated. “How do you be bold and unforgettable,” Allison says. The safest move in saturated categories? Standing out.Quote“I think that's sort of the lesson and the beauty in this, taking something that everyone already thought they knew, and they thought they knew the story… and completely reframing it. And I think that's where you just think of us as businesses, us as consumers… there's so much clutter. So the brands that stick out and do things differently, and even if it is trying the same channel but in a different way, there's so much power in that."Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Allison MacLeod, Chief Marketing Officer & GM of US Education at Flywire[01:05] Why Wicked?[02:29] The Role of CMO at Flywire[04:00] Breaking Down of Wicked[09:22] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Wicked[21:54] The Appeal of Villains and Taking Risks[23:37] The Power of Visual Design in Branding[24:54] Marketing Strategies for Global Brands[29:26] Flywire's Unique Differentiation Approach[40:03] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Allison on LinkedInLearn more about FlywireAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

New LinkedIn data published today shows that Ireland has ranked highest for availability of remote jobs across Europe, with 9.4% of all job postings offering remote work options. This is almost double the European average of 5.2%. LinkedIn insights also revealed that Ireland has the second-highest availability of hybrid roles in EMEA, according to the most recent data from June 2025. The findings highlight Ireland's position as a leader in flexible working arrangements at a time when competition for talent has intensified significantly. LinkedIn's data shows there are currently 3.4 jobs available for every 10 job seekers in Ireland, making it the third tightest labour market in Europe behind Germany and the Netherlands. Ireland also secured second place in EMEA for hybrid work availability, with 36.3% of all advertised roles offering flexible arrangements. This is more than five percentage points above the European average of 31.3%. High Demand Continues Despite leading Europe in remote job availability, demand continues to outstrip supply. LinkedIn data reveals a "remote work mismatch" ratio of 2.1, meaning that for every remote job posting, there are more than twice as many applications compared to traditional roles. This pattern reflects the sustained appetite for flexible working arrangements among Irish job seekers, even as the economy has fully reopened post-pandemic.

Trust at scale: Why agentic AI success starts with leadership

Guest post by Cathy Mauzaize, President, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at ServiceNow As businesses shift from AI experimentation to full-scale implementation, bridging the AI trust gap has never been more urgent. While AI-driven innovations drive productivity, they also introduce new uncertainties. Executives across the C-suite must take the lead, embracing change and continuous learning. In EMEA, we are at a pivotal moment. Governments and business leaders alike are looking to ensure the benefits of agentic AI are maximised responsibly. As intelligent agents become embedded across front and back-offices, trust and accountability remain top priorities. Governance isn't just IT's responsibility - it requires active leadership from the entire C-suite. As global AI regulations tighten, clear governance can ensure AI is deployed transparently, ethically, and securely. AI decision-making must be explainable and fair to earn trust from employees, customers, and stakeholders. This trust doesn't just happen - it's built by active commitment, which business leaders must champion from the top down. Attitudes towards AI are shifting The dramatic rise in the use of generative AI and agentic AI has raised valid concerns around security, data privacy, regulatory compliance, and even the risk of employee over-reliance on AI, at the expense of human judgment. The key is balance: pairing the speed of AI with the empathy of human insight. ServiceNow's 2025 Consumer Voice Report shows how attitudes are evolving. Today, only a fraction of consumers in EMEA trust AI to handle a suspicious transaction. Yet, in the next three years, 33% say they would trust AI in the same scenario. Growing confidence signals greater comfort with AI handling critical tasks. Crucially, increased trust doesn't remove the need for human oversight. This isn't a choice of one over the other. AI and humans thrive when working together seamlessly, with leaders setting the direction for integrating AI effectively into workflows. Trust in AI starts with data For AI to be effective and trusted, it must be built on a solid foundation of clean, reliable data. I've seen this happen time and again over the past two years with proof-of-concept projects. Without strong data management that ensures accuracy, fairness, and relevance, AI will deliver weak outcomes - and take longer to deliver value. Meanwhile, users trust AI more when they understand how data is used and how decisions are made. However, biased data can lead to biased results, eroding confidence. By taking the lead in identifying bias and maintaining oversight, leaders ensure AI operates responsibly across both teams and data flows. Transparency shouldn't stop at internal audiences. Communicating clearly with customers about how AI processes data helps foster long-term trust and ensures that business impact is fully understood. Innovative leaders put governance and orchestration at the heart of AI adoption, establishing transparency as a core component of their business transformation. Leadership-led AI AI has the power to transform businesses, offering new ways to solve real-world challenges. This isn't some future promise. AI agents are already delivering tangible results today. One utility provider I recently met in the Middle East is a great example - they're exploring how to leverage AI agents to automate billing dispute resolution by analysing historical consumption data, recommending solutions, and triggering downstream actions. The result: faster resolution times, higher customer satisfaction, and reduced operational costs. Given the tangible value, it's no surprise that IDC projects that, by 2025, 50% of organisations will use enterprise AI agents configured for specific business tasks. Yet, the difference between unlocking AI's full value and falling short comes down to leadership. The path to success starts with leadership buy-in and investment in innovations that enable centralised, transparent, a...

Are we preparing people as quickly as we're preparing machines? That's the uncomfortable question at the heart of Coursera's 2025 Global Skills Report, and the starting point for my conversation with Nikolaz Foucaud, Coursera's Managing Director for EMEA. As the UK jumps more than 20 spots in global skills rankings and countries like Singapore and Denmark widen the gap with lifelong learning cultures, we explore why mindset may be as important as access when it comes to reskilling for an AI-driven economy. Nikolaz explains how the newly introduced AI Maturity Index reflects the growing urgency around workforce readiness and why governments and employers need to stop thinking in degrees and start investing in micro-credentials that reflect what learners and businesses actually need. We also unpack the gender gap in AI learning, the alarming lack of growth in cybersecurity skills, and why economic pressure often drives the highest levels of completion and success. As institutions, employers, and individuals try to catch up with the pace of technological change, what will it take to build a learning culture that keeps momentum? And are we measuring the right things when we talk about readiness? Let me know what you think.

For the past six years, Circana has collaborated with NYU's Stern Center for Sustainable Business to produce a report on sustainability in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) marketplace. While sustainability-marked products in the U.S. continue to gain share, their research shows that shares of sustainability-marked products are much larger in the UK and Germany. This episode dives into the comparison between the U.S., UK, and Germany, offering insights and inspiration for CPG manufacturers and retailers. Highlights: Many categories with low shares of sustainability-marked products in the U.S. have high shares in EMEA. U.S. manufacturers should revisit claims that matter to shoppers. A market leader moving to sustainability drives the trend for the category. Failing to do so opens the door for challenger brands, which could erode loyalty and share. In Europe, much of the increase in sales of sustainable products is driven by retailers. European retailers are incentivized to adopt sustainable practices, with regulations providing both incentives and penalties. European consumers consider the lack of sustainability to be a barrier to trial.
