What happens when one of the world's fastest-growing travel platforms decides the future of business travel will be built around AI from the ground up? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Navan co-founder and CTO Ilan Twig to discuss how the company is reshaping travel, payments, and expense management through AI-native systems designed for the real world, not just polished demos. What immediately stood out during our conversation was Ilan's mix of technical obsession and relentless focus on user experience. This is someone who isolated himself for months to truly understand the mechanics of large language models before most companies had even worked out what ChatGPT meant for their business. That curiosity now powers Navan's AI strategy, where conversational interfaces are replacing what Ilan calls the old "forms and tables" model of software interaction. We explored how Navan's AI assistant, Ava, is already handling thousands of real-world travel support conversations every day, with customer satisfaction scores that rival those of human agents. During major disruption events like Storm Fern and the Heathrow airport fire, Ava scaled instantly, resolving huge volumes of customer requests without the delays and staffing nightmares that traditionally overwhelm travel providers. But this conversation goes much deeper than travel. Ilan shared his thoughts on why the software industry is moving toward conversational, context-aware interfaces, why most businesses still misunderstand what agentic AI actually means, and how Navan is building proprietary models trained on its own travel data to outperform larger, generic frontier models. We also discussed trust, hallucinations, AI supervision layers, and why companies must stop treating AI as a magic trick and start measuring it against hard business outcomes. There is also a fascinating human side to this episode. From building a company through market turbulence, investor skepticism, and geopolitical uncertainty, to challenging accepted thinking since his school days, Ilan's story reflects the mindset of someone who genuinely believes technology should solve real problems rather than create headlines. If you have been wondering where AI moves beyond hype and starts delivering measurable operational value, this conversation offers a rare look behind the curtain from someone building these systems at scale every single day.

As the tennis summer gets going, we're delighted to welcome Kyle Edmund to the show. Former British number one, world number 14, Grand Slam semi finalist, two ATP titles; there are some serious achievements to put to Kyle's name. That and of course the aura that comes with playing in one of the greatest eras tennis has seen.Having retired last year at the age of 30 after years battling serious injury, we found him at the critical point of reflection; the chance to recognise all he has achieved as an elite athlete and how to put that to use in the future. The world of top tennis players has been a mystery to many. Kyle takes us through what it takes to not just reach the top, but the work that has to go in to stay there. There's no doubt about it, this is a brutal industry. A real survival of the fittest. Welcome to the world of elite tennis.

reland News Digest – Mai 2026In dieser Episode von A Bavarian Stranded in Ireland werfen wir erneut einen Blick auf drei aktuelle Nachrichten aus Irland – von möglichen neuen Bahnverbindungen über einen tragischen Vorfall im Dubliner Stadtzentrum bis hin zum Besuch von König Charles in Nordirland.Ein kurzer Überblick darüber, was sich derzeit auf der grünen Insel tut. Themen der Episode Neue Hoffnung für die Bahnstrecke Dublin–NavanDie seit 1963 stillgelegte Bahnstrecke zwischen Dublin und Navan im County Meath soll wiedereröffnet werden.Nachdem der erste Abschnitt bis zum M3 Parkway bereits seit rund 15 Jahren wieder in Betrieb ist, scheint nun auch der weitere Ausbau Richtung Navan konkreter zu werden.Für tausende Pendler könnte damit die Zeit der größten Stadt Irlands ohne Bahnanschluss bald enden. Tragischer Vorfall auf der Henry Street in DublinEin 35-jähriger Mann aus dem Kongo starb nach einem Zwischenfall nahe des Kaufhauses Arnotts im Dubliner Stadtzentrum.Der Vorfall, bei dem laut Berichten zuvor auch ein älterer Mann verletzt wurde, führte landesweit zu Diskussionen über Sicherheit, Gewaltanwendung und gesellschaftliche Spannungen in Irland.Videos des Geschehens verbreiteten sich schnell in sozialen Medien und lösten Proteste und öffentliche Debatten aus. König Charles zu Besuch in NordirlandKönig Charles und Königin Camilla besuchten diese Woche Nordirland – ein Besuch mit großer symbolischer Bedeutung.Noch vor wenigen Jahrzehnten wären öffentliche Auftritte eines britischen Monarchen in republikanischen Teilen Nordirlands kaum denkbar gewesen.Der Besuch zeigt, wie sehr sich die Beziehungen zwischen Irland und Großbritannien seit dem Karfreitagsabkommen verändert haben. Quellen & weiterführende Linkshttps://www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/news/plans-for-new-navan-railway-publishedhttps://www.reuters.com/world/hundreds-protest-dublin-over-death-congolese-born-man-restrained-outside-store-2026-05-21/https://www.rte.ie/news/ulster/2026/0519/1574152-belfast-charles-camilla/ Mehr vom Podcast & UpdatesInstagram, Facebook & Pinterest a_bavarian_stranded_in_ireland WhatsApp Channelhttps://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaVcgvgFnSzHRcuurV1V Kontaktabavarianstrandedinireland@gmail.com

Today, we are delighted to welcome one of the very few female CEO's in the English Football League. Polly Bancroft spearheads the Grimsby Town revolution that has seen the club thrive across the board, currently vying for a place in the League Two play-off final. We recorded this a few days before the disappointing 2-1 first-leg loss of Grimsby's play-off semi final with Salford, but it's still all to play for going into Friday's decider.Whether successful or not in the mission to get promoted, this conversation should leave you in little doubt that this is a football club with plenty to look forward to. It reminded me of two things: first that we have the most incredible footballing system in the world, and secondly that clubs really are the bedrock of communities. The second point may seem obvious, but listen to this. Listen to how influential Grimsby is to the local area and everyone in it. Polly's job is of course to deliver success on the pitch, but it is also to support over 100,000 people in the local community, and she articulates the balance perfectly.From that incredible night against Manchester United earlier this season to ensuring the club is run as a sustainable business, this is for both Grimsby and sports fans to enjoy. We're delighted to welcome Polly to the Business of Sport.A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: AirwallexThe intelligent financial platform for global businesses https://www.airwallex.com/uk/GeminiWe empower the most confident sports organisations on Earth https://geminisports.ai/NavanSave BIG with Navan's Business Travel Management https://navan.com/uk/sign-up/homeIf you're interested in partnering with the show, please reach out to us atbos@20vc.com

Player & Agent; we've been targeting a show like this for years, and today we bring it to you. This relationship is one of the most important in sport, but shrouded in mystery and hear say, often not portraying either side in the best light.You can put that all aside today. Crystal Palace centre back and the USA's Men's Player of the Year Chris Richards joined us with his agent Alan Redmond to talk through what it is like operating at the highest level in sport…together. Chris's story is unique, from finding football as a youngster in Dallas to moving to Bayern Munich as a teenager to being a Premier League regular and FA Cup Winner.

Dagenham & Redbridge has been all over the footballing news in recent weeks. A takeover fronted by John Grabowski and Happy Fan Group saw KSI come on board as a minority owner while Andy Carroll has been enjoying his time both on the pitch and in the dugout. Therefore this was never going to be your normal football club conversation.Non-League football in the UK is highly competitive. There is also some great business to be had. But of course, there are challenges to overcome. What does it take for Dagenham to put the excitement and media buzz that comes with high profile ownership into results on the pitch that ultimately leads to what really matters: winning. John takes us through the takeover story, football club's challenges when talking about money, getting KSI on board, and how they plan to take the club back to the football league.

Product led growth isn't about generating more leads - it's about deciding who deserves a conversation. In this episode, we unpack how Navan approaches lifetime value optimization, balances CAC to LTV, and uses product qualified leads to increase sales efficiency while scaling sales teams intelligently. The real challenge in modern B2B selling isn't demand - it's focus. In this episode of the B2B Sales Trends Podcast, Harry Kendlbacher sits down with Amit Shalev, VP of Growth at Navan, to explore how product signals, data, and human judgment work together in a high-volume product led growth model.

In this special episode, host Cindi Howson pulls together the most useful, and hard-won, lessons from a year of conversations with Data Chiefs leading the GenAI charge. With generative and agentic AI no longer a side experiment, this episode spotlights five practices early adopters can rely on to move from pilots to profit. Expect straight talk on what to prioritize, how to bring people with you, and how to scale AI with the trust, literacy, and guardrails that make impact stick.Key Moments:Tying AI to Real Dollars with Anand Iyer, Ecolab (02:10): Anand cuts through the GenAI FOMO and brings everything back to a simple survival test: if you can't draw a straight line from an AI initiative to top-line growth or bottom-line savings, it won't last. His lesson is a sharp reminder that “cool” doesn't scale, value does. Leading Through Ambiguity with Karen Stroup, WEX (06:01): Karen names what everyone's feeling: ambiguity is paralyzing. She explains how leaders earn trust by shrinking the unknown into learnable, bite-sized experiments and creating the psychological safety people need to engage instead of resist.Building Practical AI Literacy at Scale with Josh Cunningham, Lloyds Banking Group (12:42):  Josh shares how Lloyds Banking Group makes literacy impactful by meeting people where they are. Rather than one-size-fits-all training, they pair broad fundamentals with role-specific learning so every business unit can build confidence in ways that match their actual work. Scaling Responsible Agentic AI with Noelle Russell, AI Leadership Institute (25:09): Noelle steps in with a practical framework for building agentic systems that don't go rogue. She walks through the POET framework and stresses that responsible AI isn't a final checkpoint. It's something you embed from the first idea to production, with guardrails that protect people and outcomes.Embedding AI Where Work Happens with Ilan Twig, Navan (32:35): Ilan tells a classic early-adopter story: start with a business problem, move fast, and be ruthless about what needs building versus buying. His lesson is that AI wins when it's inside the workflow, supporting decisions at the point of impact rather than living in a separate tool. Don't Let Perfection Stall Progress with Ketan Karkhanis, ThoughtSpot (40:59): Ketan shares a culture gut-check: waiting for perfect metrics, perfect KPIs, or perfect clarity is how progress dies. He argues for visible, trust-building iteration, because in AI, speed to learning beats speed to certainty. Key Quotes:“One thing that people sometimes forget is that at the end of the day, it's all about are we either saving money or making money? And are you able to show that in the bottom line or the top line in a measurable way?” - Anand Iyer“I don't think there's any chief anything officer that should not be considering AI today. I think if you're not considering AI, you are at the risk of being disrupted because you're not going to be learning at the pace with the rest of the industry, and there's someone out there looking for a better way.” - Karen Stroup“It's trying your best to meet people where they are… Finding a way to anchor the [AI] learning to something that's relevant to their day-to-day role is always going to make it land better.” - Josh Cunningham“ When people lose 70% of their trust in you, they just don't buy from you, they don't work for you, they don't talk about you… and your business starts to die. I think that trust component is a human component… and it is underpinning all the other philosophies that I have.” - Noelle Russell“When you asked me about how to educate yourself on AI, I think that companies must make a decision, and quickly, this or that.” - Ilan Twig“ Don't let perfection be the enemy of progress.” - Ketan KarkhanisGuest Bios Anand IyerAnand Iyer is the SVP, Chief Data Officer at Ecolab, where he leads the company's global data and analytics strategy.
