In this week's episode, I'm joined by creative entrepreneur, writer and past client, Tosin Hunter, for a deeply honest conversation about navigating the messy middle of career change, making an intentional pause, and rebuilding a life and career that genuinely aligns with your values.Tosin spent over a decade in corporate recruitment roles at organisations like EY, UBS and Salesforce — climbing the ladder, getting promoted (even while on maternity leave), and doing everything “right.” But behind the scenes, she was exhausted, burnt out, and increasingly disconnected from the work she was doing.In our coaching journey, she began unpacking what wasn't working, rediscovering her values, and reconnecting with parts of herself she'd buried for years. That inner work sparked a complete life shift. One that led her to leave corporate, honour her season of motherhood, rediscover her creativity, and eventually build Hunter Digital, the website design studio she now co-leads with her husband.If you're in the midst of questioning your career, craving more alignment, or feeling the nudge to pause and reassess, this conversation will resonate deeply.
After two of the toughest years in biotech history, are we finally seeing a turnaround? EY's Arda Ural discusses the long-awaited recovery in biotech IPOs, the evolving capital markets landscape and how tariffs and Trump RX are reshaping biopharma supply chains. In this wide-ranging conversation, Ural unpacks the three key factors driving IPO recovery — Fed rate cuts, improving valuations, and reduced macro uncertainty — while sharing hard data on what's actually working in 2024. He explains why platforms without products are struggling to raise venture capital, how the bid-ask spread in M&A deals reflects ongoing valuation disagreements and why China's emergence as a competitor in novel drug development represents a fundamental shift for the industry. Whether you're navigating early-stage financing, preparing for an IPO, or planning strategic transactions, this episode delivers actionable insights on capital markets, policy impacts and the fundamentals that will determine who succeeds in the next phase of biotech innovation.
In this episode of The Founder's Sandbox, host Brenda McCabe sits down with Chris Daden, CTO of Criteria Corp, to explore what it takes to scale purpose-driven businesses in the era of Work 4.0. Chris shares his fascinating origin story—starting with a childhood shaped by tech-savvy parents and leading to multiple exits, international teams, and leadership at a global talent success platform. He breaks down how Criteria uses science and AI to remove bias from hiring, why soft skills matter more than ever, and how to future-proof your workforce in an AI-augmented world. Learn about his nonprofit, SoCal Tech Forum, and why building trust is essential for AI adoption at scale. transcript: 00:18 Welcome back to the Founder's Sandbox. The Founder's Sandbox is in its fourth season. I'm here, your host, Brenda McCabe, and I'm live this month's podcast is 00:31 from the Founders Space in Pasadena. And I'm joined with my guest, Chris Daden of Criteria Corp. um And a colleague of mine in the startup ecosystem. Welcome, Chris. Thanks for having me. I'm really excited to be here. So am I. So um I want to briefly give some background on the Founder Sandbox for those that are listening in today. um 00:56 Each episode features in-depth conversations with founders of small and mid-sized owner-operated companies and operators that support the ecosystem. And together, through storytelling, we explore how to build scalable, resilient, purpose-driven businesses with great corporate governance. And you're going to discover today with Chris, his origin story. I always like to start with how the person 01:24 that's a guest to my podcast, really started getting involved with the ecosystem of startups. And your story is quite fascinating. I'm gonna give a spoiler alert here. You and I met, I guess two years ago, at a Thai con event where you were on a panel. I was the MC em and we got to talking over dinner and just your origin story and the multiple exits you've had. 01:53 really um lit up a bulb in my mind. said, Chris, you have to be in my podcast. So it's two years later, and I'm so glad that we're making this happen. Lucky to be here. Thank you. forward to it. So this podcast, again, we're going to talk about a lot of things because Chris, not only are the CTO of Criteria Corp, a talent success company, where you help organizations meet objective evidence-based 02:23 talent decisions that both reduce the bias and drive better outcomes. But also, you're a two times 40 under 40. You've had multiple exits of prior companies. You're a speaker, a founder, a board member, and recently you started your own nonprofit in SoCal called the SoCal Tech Forum. 02:51 Oh, and I forgot you're a member of the Forbes Technology Council. we're going to have... Couldn't have said it better. Thank you, Brenda. So with that, again, my episodes on particularly Spotify, we have a title that's on each episode and we've chosen Scaling Work 4.0 for this month's podcast. Again, it's Chris Daden, CTO of Criteria. So let's start. What would you... 03:21 Call your tagline. Tell us about your origin here in Southern California. Sounds great. Well, just a little bit about myself personally. I've been in tech for ah quite a while now. It's really the only career I've ever had working in tech. So I started in my youth, frankly. My father was a member of the British Merchant Navy. you can imagine with that career involved, he traveled all around the world. uh 03:50 Also, of course, gave me lot of inspiration for the global companies that I run today and the teams that I've started around the world. So although my father wasn't directly in computer science, you know, that career of being in the merchant Navy definitely shaped my global perspective. when he stopped working in the merchant ship Navy as an officer, he started developing his own software for weather routing for large 04:21 merchant ships and container ships. So what was amazing about that was it was ran out of a spare bedroom in my parents' house just upstairs while I was growing up there. And uh we used to even have a rack of kind of four by four Dell just desktop computers that were stacked on top of each other with a switch to switch between them. And we're running the workload that my dad made with the software there on those computers. 04:51 It was very visible and evident in my childhood. My first kind of internship was maybe when I was 13 or so ah in the closet of that office. We pulled the doors off and put a desk in it and that was like my internship desk for the summer. started with programming in the dotnet ecosystem. So what year is that more or less? Yeah, it's probably like 2005, 2006. uh 05:21 So it uh was a great introductory language. Fun fact, there's a YouTube video online of me when I'm about that age doing a tutorial of how to make a calculator. So very few people have found that. I'll leave it to the public to find. But you can hear my very young 12-year-old voice in a YouTube video. it's still there. So anyway, that's part of my origin story for sure. That's what got me into computer science. 05:48 My first company, started my senior year of high school. I was aqua hired into an organization in Irvine. And then I got to join what I would call kind of a real company at that time. um One that had, you know, engineers around the globe working on solving problems and SAS for organizations of all kinds. So that's kind of where I kick started my career. I'm spending the next maybe eight to 10 years in Orange County building companies and 06:16 Now I find myself as the CTO of Criteria, which of course I'm not a founder of, but the energy that I like to bring to the team and the passion I have for what the next era of work has to offer gives me that founder-like energy. Yes. So um how long have you been with Criteria? Were you the first CTO? Were you an aqua hire? Tell us a little bit about that. Yeah, great question. So Criteria has a great history, almost 20 years of science and 06:46 um just developing a great core platform that's been used by thousands of customers around the world. I've been there as CTO for the last three and a half years. So when I joined, was right after acquisition of a couple companies in Australia that were great additions to our product portfolio. And one of my roles right away after joining was to help integrate those teams, finish retiring some of the technical debt that comes with acquisitions. um 07:15 really just all the excitement around building for the next chapter of criteria and making sure that I can contribute in my many ways to our success. So back to that tagline that due to your father's um origins in the Navy, m you have a wide global perspective. Tell me about those teams that you had in India before Criteria. 07:41 Yeah, look, I started doing business in India a little over 10 years ago. I was just reflecting on that last week. I had the luxury of visiting my team again. We also just created a new team for criteria. So I was able to go visit them. We all got together for the first time. It was a lot of fun. But about 10 years ago, I started in a city named Indore and that's in the state Madhya Pradesh. And when I started, it was a tier three city. And, you know, I really stumbled across 08:09 who is now my general manager for my last company. I stumbled across meeting him through like a development agency and we really hit it off and you know at the time I was 18 years old and you know was willing to take some risk I guess because I wanted to work with an engineer and had to build my product and company and you know what it's like being a scrappy founder and I just rolled the dice and said sure like 08:34 Why don't you come work for me full time? Let's find your friends as well and let's start a company together. And his name is Vikram. And to this day, he's still the general manager of my last company in automotive SaaS that I had recently exited in like 2021 timeframe. He's still operating that team. Company's going great. So that's been a lot of fun to see that success. But yeah, over a period of 10 years, it's become... 09:00 from a tier three to a tier two city. So things like basic infrastructure have been developed. So just so much fun and so much reflection there. I'm lucky to have, know, that's my, Criteria's new team is now my fourth India venture. So this is my fourth generation. Oh my goodness. It's a scaling work 4.0. So let's go back to Criteria. again, over dinner a couple years ago, 09:29 You started talking about how the science of finding talent is really the bedrock of criteria. And you've been there three and a half years. Talk to us about that, the talent and the science that is driving this company's technology and being used today in hiring across the world. Yeah, I think. 09:58 Hiring is one of those things that we don't always teach hiring managers or people in organizations. I think we were laughing about that. If you're, say, a great senior software engineer and you've been coding for 15 years or something, I think it's assumed that when you get promoted into, say, an engineering manager role, you're now going to be a great hiring manager. And I think hiring science is something that is often... 10:22 underappreciated in organizations, particularly startups and mid-market companies who may not have the resources, right? Because to be good at hiring science, you also have to invest resources in it, right? So really you don't see most really advanced hiring science or like, you know, psychology teams being involved in hiring until the enterprise level. for criteria, we're all about using technology to harness as many what we call talent signals as possible. So we have a 10:52 an assortment of assessment tests that can measure things like your cognitive ability, your adaptiveness, your personality fit to a job role. And we do that in rigorous and scientific ways. I think there are probably more ways to do hiring wrong than to do it correctly. And we take a lot of pride in making sure that our products are always designed to measure those talent signals and even compound them. So as you find 11:19 multiple talent signals across the life cycle of that pre-employment hiring engagement, you get a compounding, really almost like a talent blueprint of the person you're looking to hire, or maybe even like the candidate DNA of that person. And it gives you a depth of information and data about the likelihood they are to succeed for that specific job role you're hiring. And that's really, really valuable to us. And we can talk a bit about why 11:46 that matters more as we enter into this new era of work. Before we go there though, I'm fascinated. What types of talent can Criteria be used for in the hiring process? Is it across all verticals? mean, tell me a bit about that. Criteria is a pretty diverse company. So with 4,000 customers around the world, we are really present in maybe 20 different verticals. So that makes us pretty... 12:15 pretty broad in who can use us for hiring. So, you know, we joke around anything from, you know, hiring for truck drivers all the way to rocket scientists. Like there's customers across the whole spectrum in engineering, venture capital, uh you know, executive management, truck drivers for uh companies, uh frontline workers, all the way up to rocket scientists at companies. 12:45 So recently you were a keynote speaker in London and you provided your closing thoughts on AI in the workforce. So I'm going to steal your thunder right now because you gave this to me and set it up. So work 4.0 belongs to those who pair adaptive mindsets with distinctively, yeah, human skills. Workplace. 13:14 AI will be our most tireless colleague, but the future's real competitive edge is still human potential, continuously renewed. Wow, unpack that for my listeners. Because we're all getting a bit nervous about will we have job security, what do we need to do to retool, and is everybody suitable? Yeah, I think what's kind of amazing is 13:44 um You look at some reports from the World Economic Forum or other entities and they're saying things like by 2030, 39 % of skills related to kind of the current candidate applying in the workforce will be obsolete. Wow, that's a lot. That's a lot. It's almost half, right? And what's amazing about that is then what are we hiring for, right? Because the last few decades of us 14:12 hiring has been so focused on how many years of experience did you have, what degrees do you hold. And it doesn't mean for many people who, right, college is the best fit, getting a degree is the best fit for many people. But ah I think what it highlights is there's more to being workforce ready than only getting these static credentials. And for people like me, I've dropped out of college twice. Both times I had some... 14:41 transactional event with one of my businesses. And that was obviously the right choice for me, right? And I've reflected on that and I feel good about where I'm at and where I came from. But I think workforce readiness these days is going to continue to index on the more dynamic talent signals and the more dynamic credentials we have as opposed to static credentials. So what that means is my ability to think on my feet, critical thinking, adaptive reasoning. 15:11 Those are all things that we kind of measure, if at all, we measure them kind of secondarily in our current process. And these other core talents like digital fluency, AI literacy, self leadership, resilience, those are all things that are more of these dynamic credentials that we need to make sure we measure really, really well, because the reality is with the advent of AI in the work 15:40 place, hard skills are more immediately attainable. And what I mean by that is maybe if I'm hiring for an accountant role, I care more about is that accountant a strategic thinker? Do they understand the tax code to the right depth? Do they understand the strategy for valuation of the business? And then of course they have to click some buttons in QuickBooks or NetSuite or other systems. But I think AI is going to... 16:09 augment the hard skills of our workforce. And that's going to make us more index on the softer skills, emotional intelligence, the adaptability, right? Those dynamic credentials as opposed to how many years have you been clicking buttons in QuickBooks? And it will require, I guess, more critical thinking, right? True. Right? Because you will be your... uh 16:36 day-to-day job will be augmented by AI, leaving you time to upskill or to make those critical decisions, more, I don't know, avenues of strategic development in the company. that's right. Yeah, redeploy to higher value opportunities for sure. think if 30 to 40 % of your day is... 17:04 tasks that can be augmented with AI, then that 30 to 40 % of your human first excellence can be redeployed to other parts of the business. an example is at Criteria, we serve uh tens of millions of assessments, um about 10 to 12 million per year. And we have about five or six million candidates that come through that process. 17:31 when they need technical support or help with the software, they often reach out to our live chatbot. we at Criteria um want to make sure we prioritize a five-star candidate experience. So even though candidates aren't the ones paying for the service, our customers are, we know that our customer satisfaction is tightly linked to how satisfied our candidates are. Got it. uh 17:54 One of the things we had was thousands and thousands of tickets every month from those five million plus candidates coming into our support system. And what we were able to do was augment our support staff with uh AI chat bots that are trained on deep knowledge bases of criteria and past candidate issues and technical troubleshooting. we were able to achieve about a 94 % candidate ticket deflection, which is really, really massive. And it didn't mean that we 18:24 know, laid off half of our support team or something, it means that, you know, those support team members moved into other high value roles in the organization or were able to now redirect their energy to making long lasting materials like help docs and guides that can then further retrain the AI to make that even better. So that's just an example of augmentation of skill and then redeploying that human excellence to another part of the business to help you grow. So it has criteria use the same time. 18:54 methodology for their staff? For our staff, every single person at Criteria goes through our assessment products, of course. We drink our own champagne. I had to ask that question. I'm a little biased, but I think I didn't know about the category before joining Criteria. And again, with my origin story, I've hired hundreds of people around the world. And I will never run another team without using 19:22 a criteria talent success platform to hire those people. So I'm a firm believer and because I didn't know about it before and now I'm using it, it's a big gap in my knowledge. So I would say most of our market potential for criteria doesn't actually know that these tools exist. A lot of them have a retention challenge or they're having an issue hiring the right people and people like me before I joined criteria don't actually know that this tool set is available. part of my mission is to... 19:51 make sure that startups and founders and mid-market companies are aware that this is available because it solves a big problem for us building the best teams. so uh last plug for Criterion, then we're going to move on in the interview here. uh How do um customers experience Criterion? How do they uh get onboarded? mean, what is it, the HR department? Where does, where's the origin? Yeah, really great. So 20:19 We call ourselves a talent success platform because we help people pre-hire with our assessments and video interviewing products. And that's normally the HR talent acquisition leader. So someone who's in charge of recruitment for a company or essentially all the pre-employment functions. And then because we have this rich data set that comes from those pre-employment activities, we have a post-hire product that we call Develop by Criteria. And Develop is designed to use all of that psychometric data 20:48 weekly check-ins with your employees, uh frameworks for behavior to help grow those team members after they're hired using all of that data and science. So a lot of our customers experience criteria on the pre-employment side and then continue to follow through on the post-employment side with our develop product. Wow. Is there patent protection with all of the science that you have developed over the years? I think there's obviously copyright. 21:17 um of our assessment tests. think patents and software are inherently tricky, but we feel really good about the protection of our IP. Excellent, excellent. So let's switch gears. um I met you at the TICON. um You haven't been our keynote speaker yet, but you have moderated panels, and I've seen you in other events. Tell us about what do you enjoy, what do you like to talk about when you're keynote speaker? 21:47 For me, it's just such an honor to share my learnings as an entrepreneur, as an executive with the world. I still am in this phase where when I give a keynote or moderate a panel, it doesn't really feel like a real thing. It just feels like another discussion for me. That's just kind of my style. I just think that the world stays connected by sharing information like that. And for me, 22:16 I'm lucky to be at the convergence of 20 years of Criteria's product, helping people make hiring decisions and this once in a lifetime emergence of generative AI intersecting with our workforce skills. So I talk a lot about that. Of course, I'm building my own teams to build the Criteria software and platform. 22:42 So I'm also thinking about what is next for my team, how do I upscale and enable? And then of course I'm talking to our thousands of customers on a regular basis trying to make sure that we are leaders in the industry. those are areas I really love talking about. I'm an engineer at heart as well. So I tend to be quite good at bridging kind of the commercial and business side with like core engineering. So I have a deep background in 23:11 AI and ML um even more traditionally prior to the generative AI boom and now even more so post generative AI boom. We're applying generative AI in ways that um we are on the frontier fine tuning models for our uh really predictive models at criteria. So those are all areas I love to talk about and it's really an honor to be able to share that with people no matter the forum. Well maybe there'll be a podcast episode two with Chris on this. 23:41 What about, you you love to share, I don't know where you find the time. You've recently started a nonprofit, the SoCal Tech Forum. So share with my audience the types of activities, where's the venue, who is gathered, and what made you start a nonprofit, right? Yeah, it's a great question. I didn't know I would be starting a nonprofit either, but that tends to be how these things go. 24:11 It's been just a journey. ah We started off as a meetup group. my goal for the meetup group was in the Inland Empire specifically here in Southern California, we don't have many tech meetups. I'm of course networked well in Orange County and Los Angeles. And I think that particularly with these technologies that are 24:35 in our day-to-day life, it's very important that we build community around information and knowledge sharing so we can all learn and get up to speed on AI. A lot of business owners are going through transitions with their workforce, with their team that just were never really imagined. for us, we started this meetup group in the Inland Empire because there was definitely a market gap in getting together. I started off 25:02 paying for and hosting the events, breakfast, etc. And we had so much good interest. had sponsors that decided to volunteer to support, starting with a company called Clutch Coffee and Rancho Cucamonga, who has a deep history of roasting coffee and brewing technology in Rancho. And uh we've since got some other great partners to support us. And in just a little under two years, we've... 25:30 surpassed 750 members in the group. uh that was the reason once we started getting sponsors involved that it made sense to have a 501c3 nonprofit formed. And we have a leadership board now, which I'm really proud of. And we host an event at least once every month on the first Saturday of every month. And they're always technology or technology adjacent topics. They always involve. 25:56 technical and non-technical folks, business owners, entrepreneurs, startups. yeah, it's been really fun. Again, an opportunity to funnel and give back to the community and teach people about disruptive technologies. Well, you heard it here on the Founder's Sandbox, the SoCal Tech Forum. It will be in the show notes, all right, how to um get involved and perhaps attend one of those Saturday meetings. um I wanted to give you an opportunity. 26:25 to provide how people can best contact you, either for speaking opportunities, a CTO of Criteria, the nonprofit. How is it best to contact you, Chris? Yeah, I'd love to hear from you. So you can contact me on LinkedIn. So linkedin.com slash in slash Chris Dayden. All one word. And you can learn more about me as a speaker or CTO of Criteria at chrissdayden.com. excellent. 26:56 have that in the show notes. All right, I want to bring you back to the Founders Sandbox, all right, which is the platform and the podcast. I really get excited about um this part of the podcast. um I work with my clients on resiliency, um scalability, and purpose-driven, right? All with great corporate governance. I always like to ask my guests what... 27:24 the meaning of each of those three words has for them. And each of my guests has a different oh interpretation. And it's just a lot of fun to listen to what I resiliency, what's resiliency for you? I think it's appropriate that I answer that in light of kind of work 4.0. So for me, when it comes to resiliency in work 4.0, um it's about the art of constantly reinventing yourself. 27:53 but in faster cycles. And I think what's really important to everyone is that in Work 4.0, hard skills can become obsolete quicker than before. And that reinvention is critical to really being resilient in this new market. How about scalable? You've scaled a couple of companies, you've been an aqua hire. What does scalable mean to you, Chris? In Work 4.0, scalable will mean 28:22 adequately augmenting the talent you have in humans in your organization with the ability to harness the true power of AI and to do that without losing culture or trust. I think many organizations think of the first half of that. Very few of the organizations can execute on human plus agentic AI and also maintain trust. 28:51 and without losing culture. Have you seen any best practices? This is a little bit off script in terms of companies that have, or are scaling, right? Because this is just scaling pretty quickly in the last year or so. Sure. And are there any best practices out there in building that trust? Yeah, I think having a real holistic AI strategy is key. 29:18 One main component of a holistic AI strategy is how can you get tools to the fingertips of every staff member in your organization so that it's embedded in their workflow? Because a lot of the top-down AI strategy from organizations, like a CEO says, you must use AI and we must be 25 % more efficient, is really shallow when it comes to strategy. And it very rarely results in a culture 29:48 sustaining in a company for this AI growth and augmentation. So what I've been really impressed by is, you know, when I host things like AI monthly global office hours at Criteria, or I host one-on-one sessions with employees to learn about how they're using AI, because you're able to push those tools down to your team members and let them use it in a safe and comfortable area, it allows you to see what people creatively do with AI. And most of the time, 30:17 I could say there's probably 60 or 70 % of use cases that I would never have expected my staff to use AI for, and I would have been the bottleneck of creating if they were waiting for me to do it, and instead give them a safe experimentation zone. And I think that is key to a sustaining AI strategy for So your best practice is actually a criteria from what I'm hearing here. And it's very becoming because I'd like to talk about playfulness in the sandbox, right? 30:46 I read recently, was an EY um study, I think it was this last week, that about 40 % of employees that are forced to use AI tools give up after a month. They don't see the utility in their day-to-day tasks they're doing. So there is something to what you just said, building trust, but building it from the bottom up, right? Yeah, I resonate with that for sure. And I think the only way people break that barrier 31:16 is by seeing their colleagues successful with it. Very rarely is a demo from an executive leader going to be, I mean, it might be enough to begin a culture of AI. Like I had to do a lot of demos and show people kind of the art of the possible. And then as soon as I saw pockets of AI intelligence in the organization, the quicker you can elevate those people to lead and present their findings, the faster... 31:45 you build up kind of the natural human competition between your team and everybody all of a sudden will get more behind it. And that's really important. I think you've reached a point of success in your AI strategy when you were once leading the AI learning sessions and now you are not. How cool is that? You heard it here in the founder sandbox. All right. Purpose driven. What's a purpose driven enterprise for you? I think that 32:12 This is timely based on our discussion just now where organizations need to harness AI at the right times. think purpose for criteria, for example, means how do we measure talent signals that are able to give us the best candidate blueprint or the best candidate DNA possible? And for us, 32:40 every single day, regardless of the technology, what fuels us is having that purpose-driven statement of collecting talent signals around the world for any team. And you really do get lost in that sometimes, for good and for worse, when you're just trying to collect as many talent signals as you can. And being purpose-driven means always doing the right thing when it comes to that. 33:09 mission statement that you've set. And for us, it's collecting talent signals. I think that AI can do that well in a lot of areas, but AI can also be very dangerous in those areas. So when it comes to Work 4.0, having that purpose-driven enterprise statement is very, very important because it anchors us for our new product development. It anchors us for how we're using new technology to help people make the best teams. 33:39 Going back to that, to build the trust, we might clip this out, um does criteria maintain a group of scientists to actually peel back the layers and make meaning out of the signals that you are capturing to create new signals? That's one question. The second is, does criteria have an ethicist on board? 34:08 on call or how do you ensure there is guardrails around talent signals? Yeah, those are really great questions. think for criteria, when we say we're rooted in science, it wouldn't mean very much if it was just a bunch of engineers and product managers kind of deciding what science is, right? So for us, we take a lot of pride in our product IO psychology team. So a lot of them are 34:37 industrial organizational psychologists by trade that are working full time for criteria. And their role is assessment development, assessment validation. uh And particularly in the light of fine tuning AI models, they are very, very hands on in creation of those models, validating those models. There's a lot of legislation we have to comply with, not only the normal data privacy stuff like GDPR and CCPA, but also 35:07 industry specific laws like the New York bias laws and others that help protect uh candidates as they are applying for roles. So that is very, very near and dear to our heart. And also we conduct adverse impact studies and we do case studies with customers to make sure that the product is uh behaving the way that they intended to behave. 35:32 You know, we've got norms for all of our assessments and we adjust those norms based on massive populations of data.

Hey Emilia Romagna nasce come progetto di confronto e dialogo dedicato ai grandi temi che stanno trasformando la regione, uno spazio in cui istituzioni, imprese, associazioni di categoria e giovani leader possano incontrarsi per discutere le sfide e le opportunità che caratterizzano il presente e il futuro di uno dei territori più dinamici d'Europa. Il nome “Hey” è un gioco di parole che richiama EY, promotore dell'iniziativa, ma al tempo stesso è un invito, una chiamata all'attenzione rivolta a tutto il tessuto economico e sociale: un modo per dire “Ehi, parliamo di ciò che conta davvero, costruiamo insieme il futuro”. Questo progetto nasce anche come parte di un più ampio investimento di EY in Emilia-Romagna, con l'obiettivo di mettere a disposizione competenze, reti e visione strategica per accompagnare lo sviluppo sostenibile e competitivo della regione.In un contesto caratterizzato da trasformazioni profonde e accelerate, l'Emilia-Romagna si trova di fronte a sfide che definiranno il suo ruolo nei prossimi anni. Da un lato, la necessità di governare la transizione ecologica ed energetica, creando nuove filiere industriali e investendo su settori come la blue economy; dall'altro, l'urgenza di rafforzare le politiche di coesione territoriale, con un'attenzione particolare ai Comuni, che hanno un ruolo chiave nell'attuazione dei progetti del PNRR e nella gestione dei fondi europei e nazionali. A questo si aggiunge la sfida delle infrastrutture, che non sono solo strade, porti e ferrovie, ma anche reti digitali e connessioni tra comunità, indispensabili per sostenere competitività e qualità della vita. Infine, resta centrale il mondo dell'agricoltura e delle filiere agroalimentari, che rappresentano una parte essenziale dell'economia regionale e che devono affrontare il cambiamento climatico, la digitalizzazione e l'apertura a nuovi mercati internazionali.Il primo appuntamento di Hey Emilia Romagna sarà l'occasione per mettere attorno allo stesso tavolo istituzioni, imprese, rappresentanti delle categorie economiche e del mondo accademico, con l'obiettivo di costruire una visione condivisa per il futuro. Il titolo scelto, “Hey Emilia-Romagna, guardiamo avanti”, sintetizza la volontà di guardare oltre le difficoltà del presente per immaginare insieme nuove traiettorie di sviluppo. Non si tratterà solo di analizzare problemi o di elencare progetti, ma di avviare un dialogo continuo che favorisca la collaborazione tra pubblico e privato, città e aree interne, giovani e imprese consolidate.Durante l'incontro si discuterà di come la regione possa valorizzare le sue eccellenze industriali e agricole, accelerare sull'innovazione tecnologica, investire in infrastrutture resilienti e sostenibili e garantire una crescita che sia non solo quantitativa ma anche inclusiva, attenta alle persone e alle comunità. Con questo primo talk, Hey Emilia Romagna apre un percorso fatto di appuntamenti periodici che accompagneranno la trasformazione della regione, diventando un luogo stabile di confronto e di idee, in cui dare forma, passo dopo passo, all'Emilia-Romagna che verrà.

Takvâ, “haşyet” (tazim ve saygıdan ileri gelen korkma) manasınadır. Nitekim Allâhü Teâlâ “Ey insanlar, Râbbinizden ittikâ edin (korkun)” (Nisâ s. 1) buyurmuştur. “Hani, kardeşleri Nûh onlara, “İttikâ etmez misiniz” yani “Allâh (c.c.)'ı saymaz, Ondan korkmaz mısınız?” demişti.” (Şuarâ s. 106) buyurmuştur. Aynı sözü Hud, Salih, Lût ve Şu'ayb (a.s.e.) kavimlerine söylemişlerdir. Takvânın gerçeği, her ne kadar zikrettiğimiz şeylerse de, o, Kur'an'da aslî manası bazen imân, bazen tevbe, bazen taat, bazen günâhı terk ve bazen de ihlâslı olmak şeklinde yer almıştır. İmân manasında olmak üzere, Cenâb-ı Allâh, “Allâh onlara takvâ kelimesini yani tevhidi, gerekli kıldı.” (Fetih s. 26), “İşte onlar, Allâh'ın, kalblerini takvâ için imtihân ettiği kimselerdir.” (Hucurât s. 3), “Firavunun kavmine (gel): Onlar ittikâ etmezler mi?” (Şuarâ s. 11) yani “imân etmezler mi?” buyurmuştur. Tövbe anlamında ise, Hâkk Teâlâ, “Şayet beldeler halkı imân edip ittikâ etselerdi…” (A'râf s. 96) yani “tevbe etselerdi” buyurmuştur. Taat anlamında da, Hâkk Teâlâ, “Benden başka ilâh olmadığını duyurasınız.” diye… Öyleyse Beni sayıp itaat ediniz.” (Nahl s. 2) ve yine aynı surede “Allâh (c.c.)'dan başkasından mı ittikâ edersiniz?” (Nahl s. 52), “Ben, sizin Râbbinizim, öyleyse Ben'i sayıp itaat ediniz.” (Mü'minûn s. 52) buyurmuştur.Günâhı terketmek manasında ise, “Evlere kapılarından girin, Allâh (c.c.)'dan ittikâ edin.” (Bakara s. 189) yani, “Allâh (c.c.)'a karşı günâh işlemeyiniz.” buyrulmuştur. İhlâs manasındaki ittikaya gelince, Cenâb-ı Allâh, “Bu, kalblerin takvâsındandır” (Hacc s. 32) yani kalblerin ihlâsındandır ve aynı manada “Benden ittikâ edin, (yani bana karşı ihlâslı olunuz)” (Bakara s. 41) buyurmuştur.(Fahruddîn Er-Râzî, Tefsîr-i Kebîr Mefâtîhu'l-Ğayb, c.1, s.444-445)

"78% of salespeople miss their sales targets. That means your entire revenue forecast is riding on just 22% of your team."That's the brutal reality Matt Milligan discovered after spending years in go-to-market transformation – and it's what drove him to build Uhubs, a company that's now helping teams achieve 83% increases in revenue per head.In today's episode, I'm joined by Matt Milligan, CEO and Co-founder of Uhubs, Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree, and former professional golfer. After playing on the IGT tour in South Africa, Matt moved into consulting at EY, where he built their startup network and observed the massive gaps in how companies hire, enable, and manage their sales teams. His solution? Combine quantitative data, qualitative assessments, and call recording analysis to identify what actually separates high performers from the rest – then use AI to create roadmaps that close the gap.Together we unpack:Why relying on Salesforce dashboards alone misses the human component driving performanceHow first-time managers are the single greatest point of failure in most organisationsWhy managers spend all their time with underperformers (and how that kills your A players)The three data sources you need to truly understand what makes your best sellers greatWhy gut-feel hiring is killing your growth (and what to do instead)
Recorded live from the PayTech Women Leadership Summit in Atlanta, we bring you a rapid, energizing tour of leadership lessons from executives, board members, and rising voices shaping the future of payments and fintech. A special thanks to our episode sponsor Global Payments. Across crisp conversations, a common theme emerges: community multiplies competence. You'll hear how curiosity fuels influence, why relationships beat résumés, and how owning your personal banner outlasts any company logo.Chrissy Wagner (FIS) opens with a hard truth many leaders overlook—self care is strategy. When your cup is full, you lead with clarity and generosity. Margaret Weichert draws on three decades across Bank of America, First Data, Accenture, EY, and The Clearing House to champion curiosity as a daily practice: learn the tech, the processes, and the business context so every presentation connects to customer value and shareholder outcomes. That framing travels across product, risk, and operations, especially as rails evolve and real-time becomes table stakes.Relationship building gets tactical with Rebecca Walden (Corvia), who shares how to deepen ties beyond LinkedIn: Zoom coffees, thoughtful introductions, timely articles, and in-person meetups that convert weak ties into trusted allies. Executive coach Cynthia Knowles underscores investing in purpose and skills, noting that the summit creates rare neutral ground where fierce competitors become generous collaborators. Melissa Desjardins (Protiviti) offers a powerful structure—build a personal board of directors who challenge your assumptions and push you to take bold steps, then return the favor for others.From the talent pipeline, Laura Gibson Lamothe (Georgia FinTech Academy) shows how belonging accelerates careers, especially for those who haven't always seen themselves reflected in leadership. Kathy Kmiotek urges leaders to own their personal banner—your story, your value proposition—through every career shift. And Naomi Donaldson (FISERV) connects the dots across industry change, from cash and checks to crypto, stablecoins, and agentic commerce, while navigating the realities of growth, family, and leadership on a shared stage with industry rivals.If you care about payments innovation, career momentum, or simply leading with purpose in a competitive market, this conversation delivers practical, repeatable moves you can use today.
Governments today face mounting pressure to deliver more with fewer resources. Yet the way public money is managed often leans towards expenditure control rather than investment in long-term socioeconomic outcomes. Even when innovative policies or technical solutions exist, implementation barriers frequently prevent good ideas from being translated into results. Adam Chepenik, principal, government and public sector, and Andrew Kleine, managing director, government and public sector at EY, join Andrea Correa, senior economist at OMFIF, to discuss how governments can invest in outcomes, prepare for crises and make their financial choices more sustainable, impactful and politically appealing.

Has Singapore quietly become one of the world’s hottest IPO destinations? The city-state has rocketed into the global top 10, overtaking London as real-estate listings power its rise. Globally, IPOs are rebounding as 2025 sees stronger deal flow and an 89% surge in proceeds amid calmer markets. EY’s Chan Yew Kiang walks us through what’s driving the US, Greater China, and Southeast Asia - and why Hong Kong’s comeback matters. We explore sector trends, cross-border listings, and whether more issuers are choosing New York over home turf.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Ulrich (Uli) Homann, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft, and Mark Luquire, EY Global Microsoft Alliance Co-innovation Leader, about how to build an agentic AI enterprise that doesn't just work faster, but works smarter and, most importantly, works for everyone. KEY TAKEAWAYS In the past automation has been very task driven and specific, things had to go in a certain order and you needed to know that order ahead of time. While you need some of that with generative AI, we now have a system that can help do some of that thinking, so if things change in the process along the way, you can deal with it. Now you can rethink what processes even need to exist and focus on the outcome and how to get to it in a new way. By giving everyone at EY access to generative AI a couple of years ago we learned that people were able to accomplish more more quickly. They used it as a thought-partner, used it as a way to fine tune the product they were working on. Being able to see the evolution of generative AI to now where it's coding applications on its own almost, seeing the new agent capabilities and tools, and being able to take action on its own with very little prompting, it opens the doors to possibilities and what you'll be able to do in the future. BEST MOMENTS ‘Focus on where you want to be and then rethink how you're going to get there, that's the real key.' ‘It's not just an assistant to you, providing you with information, it's actually taking on work it's actually thinking through and processing those things as well.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Ulrich (Uli) Homann is a Corporate Vice President & Distinguished Architect in the Cloud + AI business at Microsoft. As part of the senior engineering leadership team, he's responsible for the customer-led innovation efforts across the cloud and enterprise platform portfolio. Previously Homann was the Chief Architect for Microsoft worldwide enterprise services, having formerly played a key role in the business' newly formed Platforms, Technology and Strategy Group. Prior to joining Microsoft in 1991, he worked for several small consulting companies, where he designed and developed distributed systems and has spent most of his career using well-defined applications and architectures to simplify and streamline the development of business applications. Mark Luquire leads the EY organization's global efforts to co-develop innovative solutions with Microsoft and clients, driving growth and accelerating technology strategy. He oversees cross-functional teams spanning sectors and service lines, serving as a key liaison to Microsoft's product and engineering teams. Previously, Mark headed Platform Adoption for EY Global, leading enterprise-wide AI and cloud enablement, including integrating generative AI tools like EYQ, GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Copilot. He also created the first EY Global DevOps Practice and led cloud transformation efforts, making EY a leader in Microsoft Azure usage.

Send us a textWe record live at EY Lisbon – with Sérgio Ferreira (Partner, EY Portugal) and Jo Smets (President, CCLBL & CEO, BluePanda) – to explore how AI moves from cost savings to growth, why the best CMOs practice augmented intelligence, and how digital agents will soon work alongside people. We unpack trust, search shifts, reskilling, sustainability, and the new consulting playbook.A packed Lisbon room. A candid conversation with Sérgio Ferreira, Partner at EY and Jo Smets, President, CCLBL & CEO, BluePanda. And a straight shot of strategy on how AI shifts from cost-cutting to true growth. We take you inside real examples—finance, HR, retail, and contact centers—where automation speeds the work while people make the judgment. The result is faster decisions, 24/7 service, and new operating models that put digital assistants in every pocket and at every counter.We dig into the trust problem head-on. When “good enough” AI content floods the feed, the edge moves to teams that show their process and protect their voice. You'll hear why we frame AI as augmented intelligence, not artificial intelligence: use machines to gather, draft, and summarize, then apply human editing, taste, and accountability. That mindset becomes essential as we move through three phases: assistants that co-create, agentic AI that works autonomously, and a near future where leaders manage mixed teams of people and digital employees.Customer behavior is changing just as fast. People seek direct answers, not links, which upends SEO and demands distinct expertise, structure, and signals to surface in AI results. We share how to adapt content strategy, build AI literacy and fluency across teams, and maintain strong consulting value by compressing research time while doubling down on human creativity. We also tackle sustainability pressures with pragmatic optimism—acknowledging energy and water costs while highlighting how AI accelerates breakthroughs in materials, medicine, and clean energy.If this conversation helps you reframe your roadmap, follow and share the show with a friend who leads marketing or product. Leave a quick review to support the work, and grab The Future CMO on Amazon for deeper playbooks. Most of all, don't wait for the future to lead you—lead the future.This episode was recorded at the EY headquarters in Lisbon on October 29, 2025.
