Along the way, he has developed a unique perspective on technology, AI, and what the next generation of business software will look like.The conversation explores Jonathan's concept of "organic software" where AI agents learn, adapt, and operate alongside teams, reducing complexity and transforming finance from a reporting function into a strategic intelligence layer.Jonathan shares real-world examples of AI agents managing company spend, monitoring compliance, automating finance workflows, and generating insights that would have been impossible just a few years ago.The discussion also covers founder psychology, building through uncertainty, AI-first organisations, and how leadership teams must evolve in a world where software development, product design, and operations are increasingly powered by AI.Topics Covered:• Jonathan's journey from finance and consulting into startups• Why founding a company is one of the hardest ways to create change• The concept of "organic software" and AI-native business tools• How AI agents learn from company behaviour and improve over time• Building finance software that tells stories instead of generating reports• Real-world examples of autonomous finance workflows• Why AI is changing the role of CFOs and finance teams• How Light uses AI internally across product, engineering, and operations• The rise of AI-first organisations and new ways of working• Founder resilience, stress, and the realities of building companies• Why software development is changing faster than most people realise• The future of business operations in an AI-native worldThis is a conversation about the next generation of software, the future of work, and what happens when AI becomes a true operating system for businesses.

Asset tokenization and digital money, including stablecoins, are moving from the margins of finance toward the core of market infrastructure, spurring banks and other market participants to adapt their approach to blockchain technology.   In this episode of Credit Currents, we explore why trust and regulation are central to  adoption of tokenized assets, and how a gradual move in this direction could reshape payments, settlement and credit markets.   The conversation explores both the promise of faster, always‑on transactions and the practical challenges that will shape how quickly digital finance takes hold.   Host: Greg Sobel, Vice President, Senior Credit Officer, Moody's Ratings Guest: Donald Robertson, Managing Director, Financial Institutions, Moody's Ratings   Related Research:  Financial Institutions – US: Tokenization will change US transaction flows; less likely to remove intermediaries,11 May 2026 Financial Institutions – US: US financial markets envision an inevitable shift to tokenized assets and digital money,12 May 2026 Digital Economy – Global: Growing stablecoin use highlights policy, liquidity and price vulnerabilities,13 May 2026   © 2026 Moody's Corporation and/or its licensors and affiliates.

The latest Future of Finance research from the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants reveals several key focus areas for finance and business leaders. Rebecca McCaffry, FCMA, CGMA, the Association's associate technical director, joined the FM podcast to discuss survey results, highlighting leaders' top transformation strategies, barriers facing organisations looking to upskill talent, and notable areas of progress in finance teams since a previous survey on the topic six years earlier.  McCaffry also explains the interplay between people and process and one key preference that signals a "significant shift away" from organisations' workforce strategies in 2019. What you'll learn from this episode: Finance and business leaders' top priorities for transformation. Consistencies and shifts in focus from 2019 to 2025. The interplay between process and people priorities. Skills gap challenges and what risks they pose for organisations. Two points of progress since 2019. One key strategic area gaining traction and investment.

The financial sector stands at a pivotal juncture, with rapid advancements in AI, digital infrastructure, tokenisation, and other technologies intersecting with evolving regulatory priorities to redefine competitiveness, innovation, and risk management.Bob Wigley, Chairman of UK Finance, will deliver a forward-looking perspective on these transformative forces.

In the desert during military officer training, Yuval Atsmon entered one wrong number into a GPS device. Instead of reaching the intended destination, he and his team ended up in the wrong location, and the simulated mission failed. The mistake cost him the chance to finish at the top of his class, he tells us. Years later, he would recognize that moment as an early lesson in leadership: numbers and systems matter only if you truly understand them.That principle resurfaced when Atsmon was working with McKinsey in the Philippines on the privatization of an electricity asset. He spent several late nights studying a pricing framework that did not make sense. Eventually, he concluded the formula was recursive and would allow prices to rise indefinitely. Others initially thought he was wrong, but the process was halted and reexamined, he tells us. The experience reinforced what would become one of his core beliefs: “You can never delegate understanding.”That mindset helps explain a career shaped by movement across industries, cultures, and responsibilities. Raised in Israel, Atsmon studied law before joining McKinsey as a business analyst roughly 25 years ago, he tells us. His career later carried him across more than 20 countries, including six years in Shanghai during a pivotal economic period. There, he became one of the few non-Chinese leaders in the office and made partner during a moment of global uncertainty, he tells us.Today, as CFO of McKinsey & Company, he applies the same discipline to a far larger stage. Whether assessing liquidity, guiding investments, or navigating AI-driven change, Atsmon returns to the lesson first learned in the desert: leaders may delegate tasks, but they cannot delegate understanding.

Emmanuel Daniel, founder of the TAB Global research house, thinks about the effects of digital technology on finance and how the changes it makes possible will impact business and society. In The Great Transition – the personalisation of finance is here, published in September 2022, he predicted that blockchain technology would shift Internet finance from centralised, market-based platforms to a distributed, networked, personalised and democratised model. Today, he is concerned that the future he foresaw is being hijacked by the traditional financial services industry.
