Start of interview [1:17]Mason's "origin story" [1:58]His start with ValueAct Capital (2001-Present) [2:51]"A lot of what we do at ValueAct is invite ourselves to the dinner party."The history of ValueAct Capital and its investment thesis.  [6:20]How he met Jeffrey Ubben (founder of the firm).The impact of the corporate scandals in the early 2000s and the Martha Stewart story.Building a reputation as long term thinkers with board members that add value, plus network.How they built their "board toolkit" for each function of the board with lessons learned from their board experience (starting ~2010s) [11:21]"Our thesis is different to other activist investors who have built their businesses upon campaigns of intimidation, litigation and electioneering" [12:49]Framing ValueAct's activism style within the historical arch of shareholder activism. [14:01]"Engineers think in terms of optimization and equations, lawyers think in terms of rules, and liberal arts people think in terms of psychology, sociology, literature, etc - I think you need to take into account these three types of thinking for problems [involving corporations}"What happened after SOX (2002) was that the zeitgeist for boardrooms changed in terms of openness to receiving outside opinions.The Say on Pay (2011) rules forced greater interaction between directors and shareholders. [15:56]His thoughts on "systematic" boardroom design issues: "we should all have empathy for independent directors, because they're entrusted to make the most consequential decisions around the corporation and yet [they do it part-time and generally lack information]. It's a tough job to do." "We can bring "peripheral" vision to the boardroom, which is supplemental to what the board sees through their own hierarchy." [18:00]The problem with board committee structures and their independent consultants/advisors: "it drives to the balkanization of work." "There is an under-investment in terms of time devoted to strategy [in the boardroom]" [20:11]"Thinking like an investor with an investment thesis is a very crystallizing thought exercise. It will lead you to have a point of view about what the strategy should be" "It's an important ingredient to being a good director." [23:33]How should boards approach strategy, and why the job of the director is so hard (i.e. lack of time and information) [24:51]How does he respond to criticism of activist investors as a class [27:49] "some of these criticisms are fair."  He thinks that it's important to note that shareholder activism (during his career) has had two big bubbles that popped:Surge of activism after SOX, popping after the financial crisis because they didn't perform very well.Resurgence after credit crisis, popping in the mid 2010s.How advisors (lawyers, bankers, and others) impacted the activism landscape [29:50] "activist vulnerability assessments"How he distinguishes transactional vs transformational activism [30:45]Transactional: Traditional break-up, recap and selling of companies.Transformational: reimagining the value proposition of the product of the company. Best in class people and operational performance. It requires a lot more work (they started this practice in the mid-2000s).The mission statement of ValueAct since he took over as CEO is "to be the shareholder of choice for great companies navigating change." [33:16] Examples:Adobe, Microsoft (from client service era to cloud era in software industry)21st Century Fox (streaming in media companies)KKR (alternative asset management industry)What he loves about his job [34:46]Advice for independent directors: [35:29}Activism is everywhere (not just from activist investors)Peripheral vision can be helpful, and thinking critically with an investment thesis adds value.We live in an era of extreme disruption in the economy.Transformation is a critical journey for every company.His experience as a director at Microsoft [37:08]His take on the purpose of the corporation, ESG and sustainability [42:45]They have observed that the businesses that they invest in have a "license to operate": to be held in high regard by their stakeholders, regulators, media, politicians and other relevant constituencies.When they invest in a company they spend time with the "citizenship officers" of the company.Example of investments in financial institutions.The principles by which ValueAct Capital invests [51:28]: "We have to have a unique insight into every company we invest in that begets a meaningful relationship." (power politics is secondary)Good ideas pique curiosity, engagement and conversation.It doesn't matter if the corporation is a controlled corporation (for example, Martha Stewart, KKR, 21st Century Fox are controlled corporations)Their international investments [53:59]UK: Reuters, Misys, Rolls-Royce.Japan: Olympus, JSR Corporation, Nintendo. "There is a graveyard of activists that have tried to take on Japanese companies at the ballot box and at the courthouse, and that type of high conflict transactional -in your face- approach does not work."How does he see the future of shareholder activism and his recommendations [57:50]His favorite books: [59:21]Memoirs of the Second World War, by Winston Churchill (1948-53)The Remains of the Day, by Kazuo Ishiguro (1989)The World According to Garp, by John Irving (1978)His professional mentors: [01:01:51]Jeff UbbenSatya NadellaHis favorite quote: [01:02:42]"In the long run, the learn-it-all always beats the know-it-all " (Satya Nadella)Mason Morfit is a Partner, CEO and CIO of ValueAct Capital and is a member of the firm’s Management Committee. Prior to joining ValueAct Capital at inception, Mr. Morfit worked in equity research for Credit Suisse First Boston’s health care group where he focused on the managed care industry.

For every top sales leader who confides to friends that he or she is really a numbers freak at heart, there’s an Andrew Hicks, who, as CFO of Advanced, would be just as apt to boast about a sales funnel innovation as he would about the adoption of a new accounting rule. In fact, it would probably not surprise Hicks’s past and present business colleagues to learn that when asked to identify a mentor from his past, Advanced’s CFO chooses the head of sales for a former employer. “It was because of this relationship that I first experienced an inkling of how people can think about the business differently and think differently about what drives value in the firm,” explains Hicks, who found his mentor after being transferred to Austin from London by Misys, a UK-based software developer that today is part of Finastra. “I had moved across the world, and the sales leader took me under his wing a bit as someone new in the U.S. who didn’t really have family or friends nearby. Talking to him really piqued my interest in learning more about how the business worked,” recalls Hicks, who would remain in the U.S. for nine years before being recruited for a CFO role back in London. Along the way, Hicks’s professional network became energized via a budding relationship with private equity firm Vista Equity Partners, which enlisted him as an advisor after Vista bought a portion of Misys’s healthcare business. “Vista is continually working its network to find talent, and I was found by that means,” says Hicks, whose CFO career chapter has to date been populated by multiple Vista-owned companies. –Jack Sweeney  Do you want to learn more about the experiences that shaped today’s finance leaders?

It’s always fun to talk with someone who is on the cutting edge of their industry. And when that industry is something as significant to the global economy as banking, it gets even more interesting. On this episode, you’ll hear my conversation with Martin Häring, CMO of a newly formed company Finastra. Finastra is actually the result of a merger between two existing powerhouses in the banking technology industry - Misys and D+H. In our conversation, Martin highlights the particular challenges faced in bringing two well-known and highly-respected companies together with an eye to maintaining the reputation and specialization of each but forging something altogether different and exciting at the same time. As Chief Marketing Officer, for Finastra, Martin is responsible for marketing on a global scale. He first joined the team at Misys in October 2013 and is part of the Executive Team at the newly formed company. He’s excited not only because the company is a big player in the banking industry but more so by its opportunity to determine the future of banking technology over the long haul. You’ll enjoy this conversation so I hope you take the time to listen. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher What You’ll Learn [0:29] My guest on this episode: Martin Häring of Finastra [1:18] The amazing journey of how Finastra combined 3 companies [4:41] Approaching the business analysis for a merger of this magnitude [7:23] Getting employees excited about the new brand coming from the merger [11:20] The brand naming process, legal hurdles, internal challenges [13:36] An unbelievable 6 month timeframe for making the merger happen [21:01] Martin’s interview with a human-sounding and human-looking android [24:43] A.I. solutions being built into the Finastra platform [28:07] The biggest marketing challenges Martin and Finastra are facing In marketing, we are all storytellers ~ Martin Häring One of the most intriguing things to me about a huge merger like has happened between Misys and D+H is the task of creating a new brand identity without losing the loyalty and enthusiasm of existing customers. It’s not simply a matter of coming up with a catchy name and deciding on a color palette for the new logo and letterhead. The legal issues alone are mind-boggling. Martin shares some of the challenges the Finastra team had to address in its merger and rebrand and highlights how the same foundational principle that supports good marketing - storytelling - was required internally in developing and nurturing a new vision among its team members, and externally in the form of customer outreach and communication. I love how marketing principles prove to be useful in a variety of challenges businesses face. Martin’s insights are gold, so be sure you take the time to listen. A brand starts with a bold vision and requires the underlying tech to fuel it ~ Martin Häring When it comes to bold visions, Martin Häring and the team at Finastra are leading the way in the banking industry. The company is positioned as a leader in banking technology and is intentionally paving the way for the future of what banking will become as a global industry. In our conversation, Martin and I talk about the role A.I. (artificial intelligence) will play in banking tech and how Finastra is leading the way in developing the systems and platforms that financial institutions will use in the future. It’s a long, slow road to introduce new technologies in the banking industry but the Finastra team is not only patient, they know the industry well and are taking steps at the pace the industry can handle. Are you driving the trends in your industry or trying to keep up with them? In Martin Häring’s view, CEOs and CMOs should be asking themselves daily if their company is merely maintaining the status quo or driving their industry forward. It’s the innovation and disruption market leaders create that makes them the go-to people in a given industry. In this conversation, as Martin describes the changes coming to the future of banking technology and the role his company, Finastra is playing in the implementation of those changes, I got a feel for what he meant. It’s about thinking ahead, looking into the future to see what will be needed years from now, and positioning yourself to be the one to meet those challenges and provide the right solutions. This was an enjoyable and challenging conversation you won’t want to miss.

APIs and banking as a platform will revolutionize banking. This week we’ve got a special two part edition, with two guests who represent arguably the future of banking and financial services technology. Martin Häring is the Chief Marketing Officer of Misys (www.misys.com), a global core banking provider that recently opened its systems to third party development, in yet another sign that the industry is moving toward an API-connected, platform model. I think Misys is doing revolutionary work, and it’s good to see an established organization–a stalwart of global banking systems–taking the lead with such an innovative move. I think it’s reflective of the way fintech is going, the way banking is going, the way financial services is going, and the way technology is going more broadly. We’ve also got Myles Stephenson, CEO of Modulr (www.modulrfinance.com), a UK fintech building out a robust, plug-and-play payments platform to support corporates and fintechs looking to gain more efficient access to payment systems in the UK, above and beyond what’s offered by the banks. Myles has a really interesting take on where the industry is going in terms of systems architecture and platformification. I think the two guests, the two interviews, support each other nicely and really reinforce this broad based push toward wholly new systems architecture. As always, tweet at us @rebankpodcast and tweet at me directly @will_beeson to share your thoughts and continue the conversation.
