Financial Times reported that Zilch has engaged banks to prepare an initial public offering next year. The buy-now, pay-later company operates in a sector shaped by higher funding costs, charge-offs, and growing regulatory oversight. Zilch will likely weigh a London listing against US venues such as Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange. The UK is working to attract more tech listings after Arm chose New York in 2023. Peers show varied exit paths, with Block acquiring Afterpay and Klarna signaling interest in a listing after a valuation reset. Investors in fintech IPOs continue to prioritize unit economics, credit performance, and clear paths to profitability, setting expectations for Zilch and others.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Rene Saul knows what it feels like to be the customer he is now serving. Before founding Kapital, he was an SMB himself, doing agricultural loans for producers exporting to the United States and factoring with large American enterprises, experiencing firsthand the friction, the opacity, and the lack of access to liquidity that defines business banking in Latin America. That experience became the thesis for Kapital, a company that started with a simple idea: what if you could onboard a business with nothing more than a tax ID, understand everything about it from electronic invoicing data, and give it access to liquidity and financial visibility in a single platform? Today Kapital is Latin America's first AI native fintech unicorn, serving more than 350,000 customers across Mexico, Colombia, the United States, and beyond. It has a 700 million dollar revenue run rate, generated more than 55 million dollars in net profit in the first half of 2026, grown its loan portfolio and payments by 300 percent, and reached more than 4 billion dollars in deposits. A 125 million dollar Series C extension announced during this episode doubled the company's valuation to over 1 billion dollars. An IPO is on the horizon.On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Podcast, we sit down with Rene Saul, CEO of Kapital, to unpack how Latin America's largest B2B fintech was built on a thesis most investors initially rejected, why being a regulated entity from day one turned out to be the right call, how Kapital's AI native platform knows its customers better than they know themselves, what cross border payments between Mexico and the United States actually look like when done right, and why the enemy of rebooting yourself is always the ego.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley M. Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nubank spent thirteen years building one of the most loved financial brands in Latin America, growing past 140 million customers across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. This month, that brand entered the US for the first time, launching Nu Global alongside a dedicated US product built around a Nu Account and a no-annual-fee credit card. Ethan Eismann is the executive tasked with making that experience work. As Nubank's first Chief Design Officer, reporting directly to founder and CEO David Vélez, Eismann oversees design strategy across the company's entire product ecosystem. He joined Nubank in mid-2025 after two decades leading design at Google, Adobe, Uber, Airbnb, and Slack.

Your software might be the system of record, but if someone else owns the money movement, your growth is capped. Greg Myers sits down with Jane Podbelskaya, Founder of Charge Forward, and Jake Colognesi, Founder of Mamba Growth Equity, to dig into what separates “we added payments” from a truly investable embedded finance strategy for vertical SaaS.We get specific about why embedded finance can feel almost unfair when it's done right: revenue scales with your customers' transaction volume, one financial product naturally unlocks the next, and a platform can build multiple monetization streams across payments, lending, payroll, and insurance. Jane and Jake share why the best roadmap starts with customer interviews and real pain points, not trends, and how niche markets can suddenly have far more runway once you add a financial services layer.Then we shift into the scorecard. Jake breaks down what investors look for in the numbers like payments revenue mix, attach rate, and net take rate and Jane adds the “second-order” metrics that can make or break enterprise value: net dollar retention lift, CAC payback improvement, and the stickiness that comes from being mission critical. We also cover the operator reality: CEO alignment, true product ownership, compliance and go-to-market planning, plus the tracking and reporting infrastructure that turns embedded finance into a managed business line.If you're building in vertical SaaS and want embedded finance to drive valuation, not complexity, listen now, and share this with a founder who needs a clearer embedded finance playbook.

Most firms think their competition is the CPA office down the street. Jody Padar, co-founder of XcelLabs and the original Radical CPA, says that is not even close. In this episode, she joins Tom Wadelton and Adam Hale to talk about why AI's real job in accounting is making CPAs more human, not replacing them, and how her company built a coaching tool that scores advisors on authenticity and clarity instead of billable hours.Key Takeaways:The real competition isn't another firm. Jody says most CPAs are still comparing themselves to the firm down the street, when the actual threat is a FinTech or a VC-backed startup building a firm from a blank sheet of paper.Navi coaches the human, not the workflow. Jody's company, XcelLabs, built Navi to listen to advisory calls and score CPAs on authenticity, clarity, and impact instead of billable hours.Practice the hard conversation before you have it live. Navi lets CPAs rehearse a pricing conversation or advisory pitch against an AI client before ever picking up the phone with a real one.Humanness is the differentiator for 2030. As AI takes over routine compliance work, Jody argues the CPAs who thrive will be the ones who lead with authentic, well trained client relationships.Episode resources: ● XcelLabs Academy: http://www.xcellabsacademy.com ● If you have questions or would like to be a guest on the show, email us at mcpasuccessshow@anderscpa.com ● Check out the Virtual CFO Playbook Course: https://anderscpa.com/virtual-cfo-services/vcfo-playbook/Quotes:Jody Padar: "It is going to be our humanness."Jody Padar: "Most CPAs don't realize their competition isn't another firm. It's a FinTech or a VC-backed startup that just got a bazillion dollars to build a new firm with a blank slate of paper."Adam Hale: "We have to move to more of a simulation, just like flight. If you learn to fly, they're not throwing you in the airplane and saying, hey, figure it out. They're putting you in something where you can get hands-on experience."Tom Wadelton: "Tons of people are going to come and say, I can give you better-looking dashboards and data, but it's the person who's saying, yeah, but we'll have the conversation in the wisdom."About the Guest Jody Padar, CPA, known as The Radical CPA, is a leading voice in accounting transformation.

In this episode, Lex chats with Simon Taylor, who heads up market development at Tempo, the payments-native blockchain built by Stripe as a high-performance settlement layer for stablecoins and tokenized money. Simon is also the founder of Fintech Brain Food, one of the sector's most widely read newsletters. They discuss why there is no Fedwire for the internet, and why the next wave of on-chain volume is coming from enterprise money movers like Deel rather than crypto-native builders. Simon explains why tokenized deposits, stablecoins and TradFi settlement will converge on a single chain, why agentic commerce is still stuck in its WAP-phone era, and how the Machine Payments Protocol is being designed as an IETF-grade standard that can settle across Tempo, Stripe or any card network.NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:The AI productivity gap is an operating-model gap, not a tooling gap. MIT found nine in ten companies get zero productivity gain from AI, while Ramp's own data shows the heaviest users generate 2x higher revenue on 40% less capital. What separates them is four ingredients: AI evals as a cultural default, a shared library of skills (Ramp has 350+), non-engineers shipping production code (12% of Ramp's human-initiated PRs), and treating AI fluency as the primary staff learning curve.Agentic commerce is in its WAP-phone era. Nobody is actually paying for things with agents at any scale - Walmart's ChatGPT checkout converts worse than its dotcom, Target has told customers they are 100% liable for anything an agent buys, and Walmart and Amazon block third-party agents outright as fraud. The real volume is in B2B finance teams automating PDF-invoice-to-payment flows through Ramp and Brex, which is where Machine Payments Protocol and x402 will first find product-market fit.On-chain cash settlement is less than 0.1% done, and Tempo is being positioned as the missing Fedwire for the internet. The pitch is not a new L1 competing on TPS benchmarks - it is a settlement layer designed by payments veterans who understand that payments are all edge cases, with permissionless issuance combined with opt-in receive policies (TIP-20 upgrades on ERC-20, block/allow lists, embedded compliance) that let enterprises finally clear their RFP checklist.TOPICSFintech, Stablecoins, Tokenization, DigitalAssets, Payments, Settlement, RWA, DeFi, TradFi, CapitalMarkets, AgenticCommerce, AgenticPayments, AIAgents, MachinePayments, Ethereum, Canton, Blockchain, Web3, Tempo, Stripe, Anthropic, Ramp, Brex, Deel ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

Payments doesn't usually fail because of one big mistake. It fails quietly through a thousand small frictions: too many processing relationships, too many portals, mismatched branding, clunky onboarding, and residual reporting that turns into a monthly spreadsheet marathon. Greg Myers sits down with Ben Griefer, President and COO of Maverick, to talk about what breaks first when an ISO, agent organization, or ISV tries to scale and why “just add another provider” is the fastest way to lose focus.We get into how Maverick approaches the market as a reseller focused, privately owned payments infrastructure provider, including what it takes to deliver a unified, white label experience across sponsor banks, risk ownership, gateway capabilities, and ACH processing. Ben shares why partner empathy matters when you've lived the sales side, and how a single operating system for merchant onboarding, reporting, chargeback management, residuals, and support tickets can reduce operational noise so partners can actually grow.Then we zoom out to the bigger trends shaping the future of payments: embedded payments in vertical SaaS, ISVs looking to monetize payments as SaaS pricing tightens, and why ISOs and ISVs may be more complementary than people assume. We also dig into AI in payments with a clear stance: use AI to boost productivity and protect SLAs, but keep human expertise where relationships, support, and judgment calls make the difference. If you care about payment APIs, white label payments, embedded finance, and what modern partners expect, this conversation delivers the playbook.

In this episode of the What the FinTech? podcast, host and FinTech Futures Managing Editor Paul Hindle is joined by David Crawford, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer at Pay.UK, to explore how AI is revolutionising payment infrastructure and what this technological shift means for the UK's critical national payment systems. David discusses the current state of the UK payments ecosystem, examining the most significant developments taking place and the forces driving change across the national payments infrastructure that Pay.UK operates. The conversation then examines how AI is being integrated into these essential payment systems today, what AI-ready infrastructure means in practice, and the foundational building blocks organisations need to successfully deploy AI while maintaining the reliability and trust that payment systems demand. Paul and David also explore the emerging challenges that come with AI-driven payments, from accountability and explainability to operational resilience and fraud prevention, particularly as criminals leverage AI for increasingly sophisticated attacks, and how Pay.UK is using AI to help combat these threats. The episode finishes with a look ahead to the future of the UK payments ecosystem, with David discussing how industry participants can work together to build AI literacy and ensure the UK remains at the forefront of global payments innovation. Tune in to hear how AI is transforming the backbone of UK payments and what it takes to build trusted, resilient infrastructure for the next generation of digital transactions.

Welcome back to the Fintech Takes podcast. I'm Alex Johnson, joined by Jas Shah, fintech product consultant and author of one of my favorite newsletters, Fintech: Under the Hood, which gets into serious detail from a builder's perspective. Jas has built a range of fintech products and consulted for fintech companies and banks, so we spend this episode in the gloriously granular trenches of Fintech Productland. We cover a lot of ground, like where digital onboarding still falls short after a decade of progress, why personal financial management remains one of the hardest categories in consumer fintech to pull off, and where AI might change that. Highlights include: Why do banks struggle to build onboarding that feels as connected as their customers expect? Can an AI buddy that checks in over WhatsApp succeed where, in Jas's words, "glorified pivot tables" fell short? What happens when payment agents spending on your behalf come up against financial management agents? If ChatGPT's personal finance features reach free users, whose interests will the advice serve? Plus, we close with the most important conversation it's possible to have in fintech: how to name your fintech company after J.R.R. Tolkien's oeuvre.  Tune in for a nerdy, practical tour under the hood of fintech product building (with a closing detour through Middle-earth). --- This episode is brought to you by Ocrolus.

Today, we're joined by John Cimba, CEO of Stax Payments, a leading payments technology provider serving software platforms, resellers, and businesses.

Embedded finance can be the cleanest growth lever a software platform has, but most teams discover the hard way that launching payments is the easy part. Real success comes down to adoption, ownership, and building a customer experience that makes payments and other financial products feel native, not bolted on. Greg Myers sits down with Revolv Co-founders Ali Mast and Ashley Willson to unpack the translation gap between SaaS operators and payments providers, and why that gap quietly kills attachment rates and margins.We dig into the most common places companies get stuck: chasing a new processor when the real issue is strategy, approaching payments like a cost center, and skipping the internal work required to scale. Ali and Ashley share what actually moves the numbers: integrating payments into the product journey, aligning product, sales, customer success, finance, and leadership, and enabling reps with pricing tools and incentives that make payments revenue worth the effort. We also talk about when to optimize a current provider versus running an RFP, and why hard cutovers can backfire if you have not stabilized the business first.Then we zoom out to “what comes after payments.” You will hear the framework Revolv uses to evaluate lending, banking, issuing, payroll, and more, including why issuing is climbing fast as providers lower the operational burden. If you care about embedded payments adoption, take rate, monetization, and building an embedded finance strategy that stands up to board scrutiny, this is a practical roadmap.

What happens when every fintech starts to look like a bank — and every bank starts to look like a fintech? As payments apps, neobanks and traditional banks converge around the same expanding suite of financial products, simply having more features is becoming less of a differentiator. In this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast, OnePay CEO Omer Ismail joins Bloomberg Intelligence global fintech and payments analyst Diksha Gera to examine where the next competitive moats in consumer finance may actually emerge: distribution, economics, data and trust. They discuss whether Walmart's enormous physical and digital reach can change the cost and adoption curve of building a financial platform; whether bundling banking, credit, payments and investing creates deeper customer relationships or just a longer product menu; and how AI agents could reshape who owns the financial interface.

Every few years someone tells us banking is about to be disrupted. It never quite happens. So when Dharmesh Mistry and Lou Carlozo came on to talk about their new book, The Intelligent Ledger, I asked: Why is this time different?Dharmesh's take? Banking has adopted plenty of individual technologies, from mainframe to client-server, internet, mobile, cloud. None of them disrupted anything. But the iPhone didn't win by being a better phone. Nokia was building a better phone. Kodak was building a better camera. Garmin was building a better GPS. The iPhone was all of them at once, and the market reorganised around it in under five years.His claim is that banking now has its own version of that convergence — what he and Lou call the Quanvergence: open, accessible data; agentic AI; tokenisation; and quantum, arriving together rather than in sequence. Not the best AI bank. Not the best tokenised rails. All of it, in one place. So platform or pipe? And who will win?

Wing Vasiksiri joins Jeremy Au to analyze a major wave of tech M&A deals and macro growth trends reshaping Southeast Asia. They dissect Grab's $1.5 billion acquisition of a 60% stake in Atome Financial, examining its unique performance-linked staged structure, offline-to-online retail synergies against Sea Group, and the strategic value of Atome's credit underwriting capabilities. They also break down Circle's $400 million purchase of Tazapay, exploring how cross-border B2B payment rails and all-stock deal structures de-risk regional expansion and align long-term founder incentives. Finally, they examine Singapore's $200M+ fintech fund injection, the double-digit surge in regional e-commerce activity, and why Thailand and Malaysia are emerging as primary data center hubs for Chinese hyperscalers and frontier AI initiatives. 00:00 SEA tech M&A takes off: Grab announces a $1.5B deal for Atome Financial while Circle acquires B2B payments firm Tazapay for $400M.  03:14 Grab and Atome synergies: Combining offline BNPL retail networks with food delivery to build an orthogonal vector against Sea Group.  04:38 Unique deal structures in regional tech: How staged buyouts and performance-linked mechanisms de-risk acquirers and align management teams.  06:36 Underwriting as a competitive moat: Grab taps into Atome's multi-country credit track record, institutional debt lines, and portfolio scale.  11:08 Strategic cash deployment: Grab utilizes balance sheet cash for high-growth strategic acquisitions rather than traditional public market buybacks.  12:51 Circle acquires Tazapay: Cross-border regulatory licenses and global payment infrastructure unlock a 6x payout for early VC backers.  18:02 Singapore's $200M+ fintech initiative: Public funding steps in during a VC deployment winter to support proven regional exit pathways.  19:50 E-commerce surge across SEA: Double-digit growth in app installs in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia creates secondary startup opportunities. 26:02 Frontier AI labs expand to APAC: OpenAI and neolabs establish Singapore headquarters and launch accelerator programs in Thailand.  27:18 The Thailand and Malaysia data center boom: Abundant power, cheap land, and a "bring-your-own-chip" model drive Chinese hyperscaler investments.

Bancassurance wurde in den letzten Jahren gefühlt öfter für tot erklärt als jedes andere Buzzword der Branche – und trotzdem tut sich gerade etwas. Sebastian Langrehr und Alexander Bernert sprechen mit Torsten Kusmanow (msg for banking) und Aleksander Jeremic (fino digital) über eine Partnerschaft, die zeigt, warum das alte Bancassurance-Versprechen bisher scheiterte: Bankberater kennen ihre Kunden schlicht nicht gut genug, um sie sinnvoll zu Versicherungsprodukten anzusprechen.Die Lösung der beiden: ein Tool, das per PSD2-Zustimmung des Kunden dessen Kontodaten auswertet und in Sekunden sichtbar macht, welche Versicherungsverträge er hat – und welche fehlen. Kein hochgeladener Aktenordner, kein Maklermandat, sondern ein Klick vom Kunden selbst. Das Ergebnis: Berater erkennen fehlende Hausratversicherungen, doppelte Reisekrankenversicherungen oder Riester-Lücken, bevor sie überhaupt fragen müssen.Im Gespräch außerdem: warum API First und Open Finance die eigentliche Basis für funktionierende Bancassurance sind statt KI-Buzzwords, wie ein Softwarehaus und ein Fintech ihre Kompetenzen bündeln statt Insellösungen zu bauen, was das kommende Altersvorsorgedepot für Bank- und Versicherungssysteme bedeutet – und warum beide Gäste trotz aller Automatisierung überzeugt sind, dass am Ende noch immer ein Mensch mit dem Kunden sprechen sollte.Schreibt uns gerne eine Nachricht!

In this podcast, Michael Roche, founder of Fin Technology Group, discussed the evolution of financial technology and its connection to the energy sector. Michael discussed the history of fintech, the rise of big data and AI, and the energy consumption of data centers. The conversation shifted to the role of banks in financing solar energy, with Michael questioning why banks aren't more actively supporting residential solar installations and suggesting the need for standardized data formats to facilitate bank valuations of solar-equipped homes.   Topics Covered Fintechnology Group www.fintechnologygroup.com Fintech Industry Financial Technology eBay Banks PayPal Mafia E-Commerce Transactional Data Fraud Screening and Authentication Data Center Data Footprint Liquid Cooling AI = Artificial Intelligence LLM = Large Language Model Machine Learning VPN = Virtual Private Network Server Stacks & Server Cage Energy Consumption Stock Market Bitcoin Cryptocurrency Solar Renewable Energy IRA = Inflation Reduction Act Tax Credit PPA = Power Purchase Agreement Solar Coaster Tariff   Reach out to Michael Roche here: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/michael-f-roche-b5999a238 Website: www.fintechnologygroup.com Email: michael.f@fintechnologygroup.com   Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean's classes at www.heatspring.com/sean solarsean.com/intro solarsean.com/pvip solarsean.com/pva solarsean.com/pvds solarsean.com/esip solarsean.com/omat solarsean.com/center

This conversation is part of a three-part series about Embedded Finance that Jane Podbelskaya and I are launching leading up to Embedify 2026, our summit for vertical SaaS leaders on October 13 in Lehi, Utah. Embedded finance sounds simple until you try to scale it. I sit down with Jane, Founder of Charge Forward and a former software engineer turned VC and fintech investor, to unpack the real drivers behind embedded finance adoption in vertical SaaS. The big theme is organizational readiness: if you cannot name the customer problem, the workflow moment, and the senior leader who owns the business, payments or lending will stall no matter how clean the integration looks.We also dig into what a “virtual team” looks like in practice. Rather than hiring a massive new department, the winners pull together product, engineering, finance, sales, marketing, customer success, support, legal, and a clear owner to run partner oversight. Jane explains why embedded finance changes go-to-market, why support needs new playbooks for issues like failed payments and fraud, and why leadership must treat this as a new P&L mindset inside the existing SaaS motion.On the technology side, we move past the API checklist and talk about what you need after launch: ledgering, reconciliation, error visibility, shared support workflows with your embedded finance vendor, and an operating system that helps you act on customer signals. Finally, we cover the metrics operators and investors watch most, from addressable GMV and adoption to share of wallet, take rate, and retention lift.If you're building embedded payments, embedded lending, or insurance inside vertical SaaS, you don't want to miss this episode.

Hilary Smith, CMO at Linnworks, argues that most ecommerce brands believe their operations are already automated — and that the manual work quietly grows as they scale. She and Greg Kihlström get into where it hides and what it costs.AI's most consequential move in retail is happening in the back office, not the front end. After years of chatbots and personalization, the investment is shifting into inventory, fulfillment, and order management — where being wrong is expensive and visible.Peak season is a volume-and-velocity problem, not a basket-size problem. Smith on which parts of the traditional peak playbook break first when order throughput climbs, and how a tech freeze changes what a brand can realistically fix in-season.A stockout is a brand moment. Operational failures are where customers decide what a company is actually like — which puts a CMO on the hook for outcomes they don't directly own.About Hilary SmithHilary Smith is Chief Marketing Officer at Linnworks. She brings 12+ years of experience driving growth through data-informed strategy across supply chain, ecommerce and FinTech. Hilary thrives at the intersection of brand, product and demand, translating complex customer and commercial data into campaigns that drive revenue, sharpen positioning and move the business forward.
