In this episode, Kate Webber, Chief Solutions & Technology Officer at the PRI, is joined by Malea Figgins, Vice President at TCW, and David Klausner, ESG Specialist at PGIM Public & Private Fixed Income, to explore how responsible investment is being applied in securitised debt markets.Focusing on residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (RMBS and CMBS), as well as emerging asset classes such as data centres, the discussion draws on insights from the PRI's Technical guide to Responsible Investment in securitised debt. Together, the guests unpack how environmental, social and governance risks and impacts are assessed in practice, where data gaps remain, and why securitised assets are central to financing the real economy.OverviewSecuritised debt is a core component of global fixed income markets, representing around US$14 trillion in outstanding issuance. By pooling underlying loans, such as home mortgages, commercial property loans or consumer credit, securitisation channels capital into housing, infrastructure and other real-economy assets.Despite its scale and relevance, securitised debt has historically been underrepresented in responsible investment discussions. This episode explains why environmental, social and governance considerations are not peripheral, but fundamental to credit analysis in this asset class, particularly given its exposure to consumers, real assets and climate risk.Detailed coverageWhy securitised debt matters for responsible investorsMalea and David explain how securitisation directly touches everyday assets, from homes and cars to student loans and commercial buildings. They argue that social risks such as predatory lending, affordability and loan servicing quality, alongside environmental risks like climate events and insurance availability, are core credit risks in these markets.Risk versus impactDavid outlines the importance of distinguishing between environmental, social & governance risk (financially material factors affecting credit quality) and impact (how investments affect society and the environment). The risks are integrated into bottom-up credit analysis across all portfolios, while impact overlays are applied where client mandates explicitly require them.Embedding sustainability in RMBS and CMBS analysisMalea discusses how sustainability considerations already align with credit fundamentals in many cases. In commercial real estate, green building certifications, energy efficiency and lower operating costs can support stronger net operating income and tenant stability. In residential markets, affordability metrics and borrower characteristics play a key role.Case study: data centres and climate riskThe episode explores the rapid growth of securitised data centre financing, driven by AI and digital infrastructure demand. David shares an example where climate-related insurance coverage and extreme weather risk directly influenced internal credit ratings, illustrating how environmental risks can be central, not secondary, to investment decisions.Private markets and improving data qualityBoth guests highlight how private asset-backed finance allows earlier engagement with issuers, creating opportunities to improve environmental and social data collection. Lessons from private markets may help drive better disclosure and transparency in public securitised markets over time.Labelled bonds and greenwashing risksMalea cautions that not all labelled securitised bonds are created equal. The discussion stresses the need for rigorous due diligence on use-of-proceeds and frameworks, with internal guardrails to avoid low-quality or misleading labelled issuance.Read more in the full technical guide on securitised debt: https://www.unpri.org/deep-dive?id=responsible-investment-in-securitised-debt-a-technical-guideChapters00:00 – Introduction to responsible investment in securitised debt02:40 – What securitised debt is and why it matters for investors06:10 – Why sustainability risks are core credit risks in securitised markets10:15 – Risk vs impact: a practical distinction for fixed income14:20 – Integrating sustainability into RMBS and CMBS analysis18:45 – Credit fundamentals and sustainability in commercial real estate23:30 – Case study: data centres, climate risk and insurance coverage30:10 – Private markets, early engagement and improving sustainability data36:05 – Labelled securitised bonds and avoiding greenwashing41:45 – Key takeaways for responsible investors in securitised debtDisclaimerThis podcast and material referenced herein is provided for information only.

In this episode, we're joined by Ben McAllister, the Chief Product and Technology Officer at CrossFit, and one of the most thoughtful product leaders I've had the pleasure of speaking with. Ben's path is anything but linear: with a degree in physics, a short stint in consulting, and time spent as a creative director at a design agency before moving into senior product roles at Under Armour. Now he's shaping one of the world's most iconic fitness ecosystems. In this episode, Ben shares: Why attention is the ultimate currency in product design, and how to design for the “spotlight” versus the periphery. The “Infovore” Advantage: Why the best product leaders borrow ideas from outside the tech world; and How to build a cohesive product strategy for a complex, decentralized network like CrossFit's global community of affiliates and athletes.

If artificial intelligence is meant to earn trust anywhere, should banking be the place where it proves itself first? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Ravi Nemalikanti, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Abrigo, for a grounded conversation about what responsible AI actually looks like when the consequences are real. Abrigo works with more than 2,500 banks and credit unions across the United States, many of them community institutions where every decision affects local businesses, families, and entire regional economies. That reality makes this discussion feel refreshingly practical rather than theoretical. We talk about why financial services has become one of the toughest proving grounds for AI, and why that is a good thing. Ravi explains why concepts like transparency, explainability, and auditability are not optional add-ons in banking, but table stakes. From fraud detection and lending decisions to compliance and portfolio risk, every model has to stand up to regulatory, ethical, and operational scrutiny. A false positive or an opaque decision is not just a technical issue, it can damage trust, disrupt livelihoods, and undermine confidence in an institution. A big focus of the conversation is how AI assistants are already changing day-to-day banking work, largely behind the scenes. Rather than flashy chatbots, Ravi describes assistants embedded directly into lending, anti-money laundering, and compliance workflows. These systems summarize complex documents, surface anomalies, and create consistent narratives that free human experts to focus on judgment, context, and relationships. What surprised me most was how often customers value consistency and clarity over raw speed or automation. We also explore what other industries can learn from community banks, particularly their modular, measured approach to adoption. With limited budgets and decades-old core systems, these institutions innovate cautiously, prioritizing low-risk, high-return use cases and strong governance from day one. Ravi shares why explainable AI must speak the language of bankers and regulators, not data scientists, and why showing the "why" behind a decision is essential to keeping humans firmly in control. As we look toward 2026 and beyond, the conversation turns to where AI can genuinely support better outcomes in lending and credit risk without sidelining human judgment. Ravi is clear that fully autonomous decisioning still has a long way to go in high-stakes environments, and that the future is far more about partnership than replacement. AI can surface patterns, speed up insight, and flag risks early, but people remain essential for context, empathy, and final accountability. If you're trying to cut through the AI noise and understand how trust, governance, and real-world impact intersect, this episode offers a rare look at how responsible AI is actually being built and deployed today. And once you've listened, I'd love to hear your perspective. Where do you see AI earning trust, and where does it still have something to prove?

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong has been a pioneer, leading the way in cancer research. As the Founder,  Executive Chairman, Global Chief Medical & Technology Officer at ImmunityBio, Dr. Soon-Shiong is changing the paradigm in how to treat cancer. Our body needs a strong, healthy immune response to overcome cancer. Chemotherapy weakens the immune system significantly, essentially wiping out our body's best defense of cancer and tumors, the natural killer cell. The natural killer cells in our body destroy and kill cancer cells, without them, we are fighting a losing battle. Dr. Soon-Shiong's invention Anktiva, is a superagonist fusion complex that selectively activates Natural Killer (NK) cells and memory T cells enabling immune amplification rather than immune suppression. This treatment has shown long term success with over a million pages of data. This data is sitting in the hands of the FDA, but unfortunately our FDA has not reviewed it. Saudi Arabia on the other hand, has chosen longevity science and healthspan as a measure of GDP and has approved Anktiva for use in the country. This 30 minute outpatient procedure is now available in Saudi Arabia for patients dealing with cancer. Will the success of this treatment in Saudi Arabia convince the FDA to approve this treatment in America or will Americans be forced into medical tourism to treat cancer successfully and save lives?

The Wikimedia Foundation's chief technology and product officer explains how she helps manage one of the most visited sites in the world in the age of generative AI.  Wikipedia is turning 25 this month, and it's never been more important.  The online, collectively created encyclopedia has been a cornerstone of the internet decades, but as generative AI started flooding every platform with AI-generated slop over the last couple of years, Wikipedia's governance model, editing process, and dedication to citing reliable sources has emerged as one of the most reliable and resilient models we have.  And yet, as successful as the model is, it's almost never replicated.  This week on the podcast we're joined by Selena Deckelmann, the Chief Product and Technology Officer at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization that operates Wikipedia. That means Selena oversees the technical infrastructure and product strategy for one of the most visited sites in the world, and one the most comprehensive repositories of human knowledge ever assembled.

With an intelligent ecosystem of products and services, Trimble Transportation enables customers to embrace the rapid technological evolution of the industry and connect all aspects of transportation and logistics — trucks, drivers, back office, freight and assets. Trimble Transportation delivers an open, scalable platform to help customers make more informed decisions and maximize performance, visibility and safety. Key Takeaways: The Road Ahead: What Trimble Innovations Mean for Transportation In "The Road Ahead: What Trimble Innovations Mean for Transportation", Joe Lynch and Jonah McIntire, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Trimble, discuss Trimble's open, scalable platform that connects every aspect of the supply chain—from trucks and drivers to the back office—by serving as a reliable "system of record" that integrates practical AI innovation to help fleets maximize performance, visibility, and safety. The Responsibility of the Incumbent: Unlike startups that lead with "bombastic" promises, Trimble prioritizes its role as the foundational "system of record" for the world's largest supply chains, where stability and reliability are non-negotiable. A "Safety-First" AI Philosophy: Because Trimble's software manages critical infrastructure and multi-billion dollar logistics networks, their innovation roadmap is built on a "safety-first" framework to ensure no disruption to global commerce. The Three-Phase AI Maturity Model: Trimble is following a logical, tiered progression into the AI age: starting with internal adoption, moving to AI-enhanced features, and ultimately launching AI-native applications. "Eating Their Own Cooking": Before shipping AI solutions to customers, Trimble utilizes AI internally to refine the technology, ensuring they can provide honest, experience-based guidance to their partners. Enhancing the Proven vs. Chasing the New: A core pillar of their current strategy is adding AI-powered features to existing, trusted solutions (like TMW.Suite or TMT) to provide immediate value without requiring a total system overhaul. The Shift to AI-Native Applications: The next frontier for Trimble is the development of applications built from the ground up on AI architectures, designed to solve complex logistics problems that traditional logic-based software cannot. Prioritizing Practicality Over Hype: Trimble's focus remains squarely on the "practical uses" of AI—solving real-world friction in dispatch, maintenance, and routing—rather than following fleeting technology trends. Innovation as Change Management: Trimble recognizes that the hardest part of the AI transition isn't the code; it's the human element. Their strategy includes a heavy focus on onboarding, training, and building the "Customer Trust" necessary for long-term adoption.

With the rapid evolution of Generative AI, customer experience (CX) is evolving rapidly, too. In a recent episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Mike Gozzo, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Ada, sat down with host Christina Stathopoulos, Founder of Dare to Data. They talked about how generative AI is changing business-to-customer interactions.“I view it not just as a business opportunity, but we are here to solve a problem that has existed as long as commerce has,” Gozzo said. He emphasised that AI's goal isn't just efficiency. It is about building trust and clearly understanding customer needs to allow productive interactions.Artificial intelligence, he noted, “has really enabled what used to be much more costly to happen at scale.” The Ada Chief Product and Technology Officer pointed out that the best customer experiences are highly personalised. Comparing it to arriving at a luxury hotel where the staff already knows your name, even on your first visit. He noted that modern AI aims to make such experiences, which were once only for a select few, common for everyone.Looking to the future, Gozzo tells Stathopoulos he believes generative AI will foster more engagement between customers and brands. “If I consider the trend, I think we will have much more natural, personalised, and effortless interactions than ever before because of this technology.”Gen AI's impact on Customer Data When discussing operational challenges, especially regarding customer data management, the guest speaker stressed quality over quantity. Gozzo explained that in most AI set-ups, “the real value lies not in the data you've collected, but in the understanding of how your business runs, operates, and the people doing the tasks you want to automate.”Governance, Human Orchestration & the Future of AIBeyond personalisation, AI should be implemented responsibly and monitored closely. “The first thing with any AI deployment is to avoid thinking of it as software you buy, deploy, and forget. They need ongoing monitoring, engagement, and maintenance,” Gozzo tells Stathopoulos. He suggested thorough testing processes and collaboration with specialised companies like AIUC, which verify AI systems against common risks. “These tests need to happen quarterly or yearly because the underlying models change so rapidly,” he added.In addition to regularly conducting AI checks, the human element is also critical. AI might automate up to 80% of routine tasks, but humans will still play a vital role. Gozzo described the human role as that of an orchestrator, managing teams that include both humans and AI systems and effectively delegating tasks between them.Finally, Gozzo talked about AI's immediate impact on customer experience. “Our leading customers' AI agents are outperforming humans. They deliver higher-quality customer service experiences, and customers prefer interacting with their AI.” The key measure, he said, is the positive effect on business growth and customer lifetime value.The chief technology officer's parting advice to IT decision makers is: “The people on your team know how to make AI work. Capture their insights. Don't treat this as a technology project. The technologist will not dominate the next decade. This is about business leaders and experts doing the heavy lifting.”At the core of generative and agentic AI, Gozzo...

On this episode, I speak to Sean O'Neill. Sean is the Chief Product & Technology Officer at Syncron, and an executive product leader with a storied career spanning companies like Amazon, Tesco, and GfK. We bond over our shared history at GfK, speak about how Amazon has influenced his product thinking, how it's developed since he moved on, and his approach to portfolio management and right-sizing investments across the product portfolio. We cover a lot, including: There's no greater crime than building something the universe doesn't need: Sean's ten key product principles that he lists on LinkedIn - first developed at Tesco - all matter, but building pointless stuff tops his list of product sins. Use the right tool for the job: Amazon shaped Sean's product DNA, but he's clear that context is king - you can't simply transplant Big Tech practices into legacy environments and expect them to work wholesale. Most companies under-invest in their strategy: When progress stalls, it's usually because teams are spread too thin across BAU work and one-off feature requests. The best product firms align time and capacity to strategic bets (or admit that they're a professional services company). Adopt a portfolio mindset: Sean's capital allocation framework helps leaders size and re-balance investments, ensuring resources go where they'll have the biggest impact - and revisiting regularly (but not too regularly) to stay honest. Learn the language of money: Too many product leaders avoid finance. Sean argues that financial literacy isn't optional if you want credibility with the board and real influence on business outcomes.

Everywhere you turn, someone's trying to fake something like an image, a voice, or even an entire identity. With AI tools now in almost anyone's hands, it takes minutes, not days, to create a convincing fake. That's changed the game for both sides. The fraudsters have new weapons, and the rest of us are scrambling to keep up. The real question now isn't just how to stop scams, but how to know who or what to trust online. My guest today, Bala Kumar, spends his days on the front lines of that battle. He's the Chief Product and Technology Officer at Jumio, a company working to make digital identity verification faster, smarter, and safer. Bala has more than twenty years in the industry, including leadership roles at TransUnion, and he's seen firsthand how the race between innovation and exploitation never really ends. It just keeps speeding up. In our conversation, Bala shares how generative AI has supercharged the fraud world, what makes identity such a fragile link in digital trust, and why biometrics may finally offer a way forward. We also dig into the psychology behind online risk, how convenience often wins over caution, and what small habits can help people protect themselves in an age where deception looks more real than ever. Show Notes: [01:04] Bala Kumar has a background in product management and fraud prevention from TransUnion to Jumio. [01:59] He describes how fraudsters constantly evolve, forcing companies to anticipate attacks instead of just reacting. [03:56] The quality of manipulated images has skyrocketed, making real vs. fake nearly indistinguishable. [05:17] Jumio's systems catch most fake IDs, but Bala admits even advanced systems must keep auditing for missed fraud. [07:16] Regular audits and rapid response cycles help Jumio identify attack spikes within 24–48 hours. [09:40] Generative AI has dramatically increased the speed and volume of fraud attempts across industries. [11:33] Jumio uses cross-transaction risk analysis to detect emerging fraud patterns and shut down attacks quickly. [13:00] Fraudsters move from one platform to another, always searching for weaker defenses and faster wins. [15:10] Bala explains how fraud prevention has expanded beyond banking into gaming, dating, and gig platforms. [16:38] Consumers crave low friction, which ironically makes them more vulnerable to scams. [17:20] Instant gratification culture pressures companies to reduce security steps, fueling greater risk. [19:52] New AI-driven fraud tactics include injected camera feeds and highly realistic deep fakes. [20:12] Old tricks like “send me a selfie with proof” no longer work—deepfakes can now mimic anything. [22:22] Bala sees biometrics as the next major safeguard for digital identity and real-time verification. [23:12] Facial recognition has become mainstream, paving the way for secure and low-friction identity checks. [26:19] Jumio is already deploying biometric check-ins for events and hotel registrations with great success. [27:30] Account recovery and payout systems now use liveness and device checks to confirm identity safely. [30:09] Bala critiques outdated knowledge-based questions like “What's your favorite food?” as unreliable security. [31:12] Consumers lack visibility into which apps use strong verification or multi-factor authentication. [33:56] He calls for an independent rating system to rank apps based on security and identity protection. [37:53] Bala urges users to question why companies ask for personal data like SSNs or ZIP codes. [39:29] Even a ZIP code and last name can expose personal records, highlighting the need for awareness. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Extreme weather events are reshaping the investment landscape. How can investors protect portfolios—and communities—from the rising physical risks of climate change? In this episode, Kate Webber, Chief Solutions and Technology Officer at the PRI, speaks with Dr Calvin Lee Kwan of Link Asset Management and Simon Whistler, PRI's Head of Real Assets, to explore how investors can turn climate resilience into both risk management and value creation.Overview Physical climate risk is no longer theoretical—it's here. Floods, fires, and black-rain events are increasing in frequency and intensity, with real financial consequences. Simon Whistler outlines how investors are beginning to quantify and address these risks, yet highlights that fewer than one-third of PRI signatories currently report on physical climate risk metrics. Calvin Lee Kwan shares how Link Asset Management has moved from reactive recovery to proactive resilience—reducing insurance premiums by 11.7% and strengthening investor confidence in the process.Detailed CoveragePhysical climate risk today: More frequent and severe events—from typhoons in Hong Kong to floods in Europe—are causing major financial and operational losses.Investor action gap: Only 29% of investors report on physical climate risk, compared with 50% in the real-assets space, showing the need for broader engagement.Value protection and creation: Link's sustainability strategy is built on two pillars—protecting existing value through resilience and creating new value through efficiency and stakeholder alignment.From risk to return: Engaging insurers with clear, data-driven resilience metrics translated into measurable financial results, proving sustainability can deliver bottom-line benefits.Community resilience: Floodwaters don't stop at property boundaries. Link's team now collaborates with neighbors, local authorities, and infrastructure managers to build district-level resilience—an approach that benefits whole communities.Industry-wide change: Collaboration between investors, insurers, and policymakers is key to building consistent models, pricing resilience into valuations, and driving systemic adaptation.Communication as a catalyst: For Calvin Lee Kwan, sustainability comes down to translating resilience into stakeholder-specific value—from stable returns for investors to safety and reliability for tenants.Chapters00:43 – Welcome and introductions02:08 – Why investors must act on physical climate risk05:07 – How far investors have come—and how far to go07:23 – The cost versus opportunity debate08:43 – Link Asset Management's practical approach11:48 – A watershed moment: floods and recovery13:34 – Turning resilience into measurable value15:23 – Black-rain events and extreme weather16:59 – Challenges for other investors20:23 – Partnering with insurers to price resilience25:00 – From property-level to community-level resilience27:28 – How resilience links to property valuation30:50 – Final reflections: communication, focus, and leadership32:44 – What is the responsibility of investingFor more details, visit: https://www.unpri.org/climate-change-for-private-markets/assessing-physical-climate-risk-in-private-markets-a-technical-guide/13135.articleKeywords responsible investment, physical climate risk, resilience investing, PRI podcast, Link Asset Management, insurance and sustainability, real assets, climate adaptation, community...

With experience spanning media, fintech, healthcare, and SaaS—including roles at Salesforce, Disney, Fox, and Clear—Pieter brings a rare clarity to what actually works in building and running a security program that serves the business.He shares why being “comfortable being uncomfortable” is an essential trait for today's security leaders—not just reacting to incidents, but thriving in ambiguity. That distinction matters, especially when every new technology trend, vendor pitch, or policy update introduces more complexity than clarity. Pieter encourages CISOs to lead by knowing when to go deep and when to zoom out, especially in areas like compliance, AI, and IT operations where leadership must translate risks into outcomes the business cares about.One of the strongest points he makes is around threat intelligence: it must be contextual. “Generic threat intel is an oxymoron,” he argues, pointing out how the volume of tools and alerts often distracts from actual risks. Instead, Pieter advocates for simplifying based on principles like ownership, real impact, and operational context. If a tool hasn't been turned on for two months and no one noticed, he says, “do you even need it?”The episode also offers frank insight into vendor relationships. Pieter calls out the harm in trying to “tell a CISO what problems they have” rather than listening. He explains why true partnerships are based on trust, humility, and a long-term commitment—not transactional sales quotas. “If you disappear when I need you most, you're not part of the solution,” he says.For CISOs and vendors alike, this episode is packed with perspective you can't Google. Tune in to challenge your assumptions—and maybe your entire security stack.⬥SPONSORS⬥ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974⬥RESOURCES⬥⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast: 

Most conversations about AI are still caught up in the spectacle. We see demos, marvel at copilots, and argue about the latest big model. But what happens when you strip away the hype and focus on AI that simply works? That is exactly the perspective Olga Lagunova brings to this episode. As Chief Product and Technology Officer at GoTo, she has one goal in mind: make AI useful, practical, and almost invisible. Olga believes the real test of AI is whether it integrates seamlessly into workflows. In her view, the most powerful AI is the kind that feels almost boring because it is just part of how work gets done. During our conversation she explains how GoTo is embedding AI into its platform so that small and midsize businesses can benefit without needing data scientists on staff or large budgets to experiment. We explore the difference between AI for SMBs and AI for enterprises, and why simplicity and trust matter more than shiny features. Our discussion also goes deeper into agentic AI, where tools are no longer just assistants but are taking on tasks in the background. Olga highlights how GoTo balances this shift with guardrails, governance, and human-in-the-loop oversight to ensure that efficiency never comes at the cost of security. We also unpack the classic build versus buy dilemma, why shadow AI is becoming a real risk for companies, and how leaders can measure ROI in a way that proves value both immediately and over time. If you are tired of the hype and want to understand how AI is quietly reshaping the backbone of business operations, this episode with Olga Lagunova will give you a grounded and forward-looking perspective.

In this episode of The Product Experience, Patrick Ndjientcheu, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Irembo, shares how his team transitioned from delivering projects for government to building a portfolio of scalable products. Patrick talks about shifting mindsets from execution to strategy, spinning out payments and identity into independent products, and the challenges of balancing internal bias with customer needs. He also reveals how Irembo is evolving into a super app, why sales enablement is crucial in a B2B context, and the lessons he has learned guiding teams through the move from project to product to product portfolio.Six things we learned from PatrickProject to product mindset: Repeat customer demand signals value, turn ad-hoc projects into structured products with identity, principles, and strategy.Team restructuring without turnover: Shifting from project delivery to product development requires reorganising teams around capabilities.Spinouts emerge from features: Payments and identity started as embedded features, but with scale and external demand, became standalone products.Bias is real: Teams naturally over-index on the dominant revenue product. Separation, customer interviews, and rebranding are critical to balance focus.Sales enablement matters: Without educating sales and customers on new platform capabilities, adoption stalls and value is under-communicated.Leadership lesson: Product leaders must bring the whole organisation on the journey—marketing, sales, finance, and operations—not just product teams.Featured Links: Follow Patrick on LinkedIn | Irembo | Inspire Africa Our HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.
