Juan Pablo Polvorinos analiza cómo la ministra de Igualdad acusa a la Fiscalía emitir un informe sin datos sobre el fallo de las pulseras telemáticas.

¿Cuántas mujeres víctimas de violencia de género han estado desprotegidas y durante cuánto tiempo? Con una sola bastaría para hablar de fracaso.El escándalo de la chapuzas de las pulseras antimaltrato, el galimatías burocrático de la cesión de datos para arriba y los contratos para abajo, evidencia las grietas de un sistema que, lejos de avanzar, sigue sin proteger —y mucho menos blindar— a las mujeres frente a sus maltratadores en nuestro país.Las campañas para denunciar el maltrato, que tanto esfuerzo ha costado visibilizar e integrar en la sociedad, y que son y serán  tan necesarias, deben ir acompañadas de eficacia real.El mayor fracaso de un Ministerio es que alguien llegue a pensar que no sirve para nada. Y esa crítica, hoy, con el de Igualdad, desgraciadamente está sobre la mesa. No por el trabajo de tantas y tantas mujeres que han remado a favor de la Igualdad en nuestro país, sino por la cadena de errores.Pura Gasolina para los negacionistas del machismo, una chapuza más que coloca al ministerio que dirige la socialista Ana Redondo en el punto de mira: no por su existencia, sino por su ineficacia o dificultad para explicar lo que ha sucedido.La pregunta es clara: ¿desde cuándo conocía la ministra Ana Redondo estos fallos y qué se ha hecho para corregirlos?Todo ello en un contexto en el que la bandera feminista que enarbola el PSOE muestra jirones: los audios de Ábalos y Koldo hablando de prostitutas, las polémicas sobre saunas, o el bochorno de los “puntos violeta” que destapó este periódico y que  acabó con el cese de la directora del Instituto de las Mujeres, constituyen un reguero de errores que cuesta entender. En el capítulo de hoy, con Javier Corbacho, redactor de Tribunales en EL ESPAÑOL nos da las claves de la cadena de errores. Además, entrevistamos a la exdiputada Ángeles Álvarez, fue  portavoz de igualdad, con una larga trayectoria en la lucha por los derechos de las mujeres. Impulsó, entre otras medidas,  el Pacto de Estado contra la Violencia de Género.

This episode of the OnBase Podcast features a compelling discussion with Nick Webb on the power of a modern go-to-market strategy. Host Paul Gibson and Nick explore the challenges of navigating organizational change and the critical shift from high-volume, low-quality lead generation to a targeted ABM/ABX approach. Nick shares the story of how CloudPay transformed its pipeline by moving from "net fishing" to "spear fishing," a move that quadrupled its sales pipeline.The conversation reveals why sales and marketing alignment is non-negotiable and how data-driven decisions provide the confidence needed to make bold changes. Nick details the hurdles, the mindset shifts, and the specific KPIs that were essential to driving this monumental transformation. This episode is a masterclass for any B2B leader looking to build a scalable and effective growth engine.Key TakeawaysQuality Over QuantityGenerating thousands of leads is meaningless if it doesn't translate to pipeline. Focusing on an agreed-upon ICP is the foundation of a successful GTM strategy.Shared KPIs Drive AlignmentShifting marketing's core KPI from lead volume to dollar-value pipeline ensures both sales and marketing are working toward the same goal.Data is Your Ally in ChangeUse data to prove the need for change and validate new strategies. Data-backed insights overcome resistance and build trust across teamsIt's a Partnership Not a HandoffThe old model of marketing throwing leads over the fence is broken. A modern GTM requires genuine collaboration where sales and marketing are fully integrated.Rethink Your TerminologyCalling leads "signals" reframes the follow-up process, shifting focus from pursuing an individual to understanding account-level interest.Quotes"Gone are the days where marketing people could get away with not knowing their numbers. We have to carry a number just like sales people do."Best Moments (07:22) – The Damascene Moment Nick details the realization that generating 3x more leads was actually causing the sales pipeline to fall.(09:38) – From Net Fishing to Spear Fishing The core analogy that drove CloudPay's strategic shift to a targeted ABM/ABX model.(14:25) – The New Playbook How CloudPay revolutionized its operations by changing KPIs, moving BDRs into marketing, and renaming leads to "signals."(20:00) – Overcoming Resistance Nick outlines the three groups of people in any change scenario and how to build momentum with advocates and data.(33:27) – Stopping the Attribution Wars The decision to stop attributing leads to specific departments and why it immediately ended internal friction.Shout-OutsKate Cox - CEO, Bray Leino.Tim Johnson - Field CTO, Gaming, Databricks.Andy McFarlane - VP of Marketing, Morse Micro.About the GuestNick Webb has more than 25 years of Marketing experience in world-class technology and fintech organisations, including Vodafone, Microsoft and WorldFirst.

SIRO, the wholesale broadband network operator delivering 100% fibre-to-the-building broadband across Ireland, has announced that its network is now live in Tipperary Town. To date, 1,432 homes and businesses in the town have access to the SIRO network, with a further 580 premises expected to go live in 2026. SIRO's rollout in Tipperary Town was delivered in two phases, with approximately 330 premises passed in June and a further 1,102 premises passed in August. The third phase of the rollout will be completed in Q1 2026 with 580 more premises joining the SIRO network. Areas of the town now passed by the SIRO network include Springfield Grove, Saint Michael's Avenue, Rosanna Close, Springfield Crescent, Lacey Villas, Davitt Street, An Dúiche, O'Connell Road, Saint Patrick's Avenue, and Blackthorn Grove. With this latest rollout, SIRO has now passed more than 19,000 premises across County Tipperary. The company's fibre broadband network is already live in towns such as Cashel, Clonmel, Nenagh, Roscrea, Thurles and Tipperary, bringing reliable gigabit connectivity to homes and businesses throughout the county. Earlier this month, SIRO and Vodafone also announced their role as connectivity partners for Roscrea's new REACH Digital Enterprise Hub, which officially opened at the start of September. As the 25th hub to join the SIRO-Vodafone Gigabit Hub Initiative, REACH is supporting growth opportunities for local businesses in Tipperary. The expansion comes at a crucial time, as Ireland prepares for the national copper switch-off, which will see the outdated copper broadband network switched off over the years ahead. SIRO's 100% fibre broadband provides a future-proofed solution, ensuring reliable connectivity for households and businesses ensuring they have high quality connectivity required for decades to come. SIRO's full fibre broadband offers speeds of up to 2 gigabits per second, allowing households and businesses to enjoy seamless online experiences. Customers in Tipperary Town can now order services from SIRO's retail partners, with more premises to follow in 2026. Speaking on the announcement, John Keaney, SIRO Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are delighted to bring SIRO's 100% fibre broadband to Tipperary Town, enabling more than 2,000 premises to access reliable gigabit connectivity. For businesses, world-class broadband is critical, supporting growth, digitalisation, and competitiveness. For households, it underpins everything from remote working and online learning to streaming and gaming. With copper switch-off now on the horizon, SIRO's full fibre network ensures that Tipperary Town is ready for the future."

Judge William Alsup has rejected the record-breaking $1.5 billion settlement Anthropic has agreed to for a piracy lawsuit filed by writers. According to Bloomberg Law, the federal judge is concerned that the class lawyers struck a deal that will be forced "down the throat of authors." Alsup reportedly felt misled by the deal and said it was "nowhere close to complete." Also, Vodafone made a commercial starring an AI avatar posing as a real lady. This is interesting because Vodafone is a major global brand and not a fly-by-night TikTok company. The company said it was “testing different styles of advertising — this time with AI."

SIRO and Vodafone Ireland have been announced as the official connectivity partners for REACH, Roscrea's new Enterprise Hub. As part of the SIRO-Vodafone Gigabit Hub Initiative, REACH will enjoy seamless, high-speed fibre broadband. Located in the heart of Roscrea, REACH is the 25th hub to join the Gigabit Hub Initiative. The hub was officially opened this week with representatives from the REACH Board, elected representatives, Tipperary County Council officials and other key stakeholders all in attendance. The Gigabit Hub Initiative, delivered by SIRO and Vodafone, provides gigabit fibre connectivity to remote working and digital hubs across Ireland. REACH joins a network of successful hubs, including Dundalk's Creative Spark, Galway's PorterShed, and Skibbereen's Ludgate Hub, all of which have benefited from the initiative. With SIRO's full-fibre broadband offering speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second, the hub provides fast and reliable connectivity to meet the business needs of all companies and individuals working with the REACH hub. REACH offers a supportive environment for businesses of all sizes, from start-ups and freelancers to growing SMEs. The hub features 11 private offices, 10 hot desks, and shared workspaces, catering to a variety of business needs. It is already home to key organisations driving regional growth, including Tipperary Education and Training Board, a leading education and training provider, and Herdwatch, a Roscrea-founded agri-tech company transforming livestock and pasture management across Ireland, the UK, and beyond. REACH is set to become a key driver of business growth in Roscrea, offering entrepreneurs, SMEs, and remote workers the space and connectivity they need to thrive. Its strategic location, combined with SIRO's full-fibre broadband, ensures that businesses can operate with the same level of digital infrastructure as those in any major urban centre. SIRO is a leading full-fibre broadband operator, rolling out a 100% fibre broadband network across Ireland. Its network is currently available in multiple locations across Tipperary, including Cashel, Nenagh, Thurles, Clonmel, and Roscrea. Brendan Hyland, Chairperson of REACH, thanked SIRO for their engagement and support of the project: "This project has taken many hours of dedication from the Board and supporters. Today, we are proud to stand in a modern, future-proof building that will attract enterprise and innovation to Roscrea. It will stand as a flagship for innovation and renewal in Roscrea. This outstanding facility has received over €2.3 million under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund, which is administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht. Tipperary County Council has provided an additional €774,000 in funding." John Keaney, SIRO Chief Executive Officer, commented: "REACH is a fantastic addition to Roscrea, providing businesses with a state-of-the-art space to work, collaborate, and grow. Powered by SIRO's full-fibre broadband, this hub will help businesses and entrepreneurs compete on both a national and international scale. We are delighted to partner with Vodafone to deliver world-class connectivity to this hub and support Roscrea's economic regeneration." Ciaran Barrett, Commercial Operations Director of Vodafone Ireland, added: "Connectivity is more than just infrastructure - it's about empowering people and businesses to thrive. At Vodafone, we're committed to ensuring that every customer, whether in a city or a town like Roscrea, has access to the same high-quality digital experience. Through our partnership with SIRO, REACH will offer seamless fibre broadband that enables entrepreneurs, SMEs, and remote workers to stay connected, productive, and competitive in today's world."

Google is opnieuw aangeklaagd door een online advertentieplatform dat beweert geschaadt te worden door Googles monopoliepositie op de online advertentiemarkt. PubMatic, zoals het advertentieplatform heet dat onder andere voor reclames op X zorgt, eist miljarden dollars. Eerder werd Google ook al aangeklaagd door OpenX, een ander advertentieplatform dat ook beweert geschaadt te worden. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De eis van PubMatic komt in dezelfde maand waarin Google te horen gaat krijgen of het de advertentietak gedwongen moet verkopen. De verwachte uitspraak moet een einde maken aan de marktmacht van het bedrijf, dat in april werd bestempeld als monopolist op de online advertentiemarkt door de Amerikaanse rechter. Vorig jaar werd Google ook al bestempeld als monopolist op de online zoekmarkt door een andere rechter. De oplossing daarvoor is vorige week aangekondigd en luidt dat Google gegevens moet gaan delen met de concurrentie. Eerder werd verwacht dat Google zijn webbrowser Chrome gedwongen moest verkopen, maar die maatregel bleek toch niet proportioneel.

Nigel Thurlow previously served as the first-ever Chief of Agile at Toyota, where he created the World Agility Forum award-winning “Scrum the Toyota Way” and co-created The Flow System™, a holistic FLOW-based approach to delivering customer-first value built on a foundation of The Toyota Production System.Throughout his career, Thurlow has gained an enviable recognition as a leading expert in Lean and Agile methods, tools, techniques, and approaches. He specializes in developing effective organizational designs and operating models for organizations to embrace both Lean and Agile concepts. By leveraging knowledge from various sources, Thurlow helps optimize organizations to enact successful, long-lasting transformational strategies in applying Lean thinking, Agile techniques, and Scrum – while combining complexity thinking, distributive leadership, and team science, represented by a triple helix structure known as the DNA of Organizations™.As of 2024, he has trained over 8,500 people worldwide in Scrum, Agile, Lean, Flow, Complexity, and organizational design. Thurlow is a Professional Scrum Trainer (PST).An instinctive problem solver, Nigel Thurlow takes a method-agnostic, cross-industry approach in helping organizations find the right tools, methods, and approaches to overcome challenges within their contextual situation. He advocates for the fact that there is not a one-size-fits-all prescriptive approach to agility; all tools have utility, but they also have contextual limitations. From this vantage point, Thurlow equips an organization's people to become an army of problem solvers, expanding their perception of what they do so they can better understand and prepare for potential challenges along the way.Thurlow is currently the Chief Executive Officer at The Flow Consortium, a collection of highly regarded companies in the Lean and Agile world — as well as the scientific and academic communities at large. The Flow Consortium strives to expand the boundaries of current Lean and Agile thinking through the understanding of complexity thinking, distributed leadership, and team science by tapping into the minds of top thought leaders from these concentrations.While at Toyota, Thurlow worked to frame Scrum as more than just a standardized behavioral process by applying and advancing fundamental methodologies to spur innovative, forward-thinking solutions to Toyota's most complex challenges. He also founded the Toyota Agile Academy in 2018. These efforts signaled a transformative phase for Toyota, leading the company towards organizational agility and helping its team members better understand this concept in an automotive production context.Additionally, Thurlow has been a board presence at the University of North Texas since 2019, serving as an advisor to the Department of Information Science Board and a member of the College of Information Leadership Board. He has also served as the President of CDQ LLC since 2012. Prior to that, Thurlow held executive coaching and training roles for companies including Vodafone, Lumen Technologies, Scrum, Inc., GE Power & Water, 3M Healthcare Information Systems, Bose Corporation, The TJX Companies, Inc. – as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He has also taught Scrum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).As an author, Thurlow was named a Forbes top 10 author for co-authoring the book “The Flow System™” in 2020. He has recently co-authored “The Flow System Playbook” published in 2023 which presents a practical study guide and reference book to all the concepts covered in the first book.His other notable publications include “Introducing the Flow System (2019)” and “TPS and the Age of Destruction (2019).” He is also the co-author of The Flow Guide and The Flow System Principles and Key Attributes Guidebook. Recently, Thurlow co-authored “The...

De Bright Podcast is weer terug van de vakantie en het is meteen aftellen naar dinsdag 9 september, als Apple zijn “Awe Dropping” event houdt. We kijken in deze aflevering naar alle laatste geruchten over de iPhone, Apple Watch en AirPods. Verder in deze aflevering: KPN en Vodafone verhogen opnieuw hun prijzen, Stellantis stopt met zelfrijdende auto’s, Citroën komt met een van de goedkoopste elektrische auto’s van Nederland, Dolby onthult Dolby Vision 2 en Odido lanceert speciale mobiele abonnementen voor kinderen. Sponsor: Beleg automatisch en zonder transactiekosten met Saxo AutoInvest. Let op: er zijn altijd risico’s als je belegt, je inleg kan ook minder waard worden. Tips uit deze aflevering: Serie: Alien: Earth op Disney+, de eerste tv-serie in de Alien-franchise. Het verhaal speelt zich af twee jaar voor de gebeurtenissen in de eerste film uit 1979. Met een techmiljardair, cyborgs, ’synths’, hybrids en uiteraard xenomorphs. Aflevering 5 wordt al ontvangen als 'de beste Alien-content is sinds de vervolgfilm Aliens uit 1986'. Game: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. De remake van de game uit 2004, chronologisch gezien de eerste game in het Metal Gear-verhaal. Heel getrouw nagemaakt en grafisch schitterend dankzij Unreal Engine 5. Je speelt als Naked Snake, een supersoldaat die in 1964 tijdens de Koud Oorlog in de Russiche jungle wordt gedropt. Je moet sneaken en stiekem soldaten passeren of omleggen, maar je hebt ook met de wildernis te maken. Er zijn bloedzuigers, krokodillen en bovennatuurlijke eindbazen. Hideo Kojima maakte het origineel en je ziet hier al dingen die je later in de Death Stranding games ook weer ziet. Ook hier is allerlei gepiel toegevoegd, zoals de mogelijkheid om steeds handmatig je camouflage te wijzigen. Dat gaat nu soepeler dan in het origineel, ook kun je de game nu met een vrije camera in third person view spelen. Dit is een remaster zoals je hoopt dat ze zijn, van één van de meest iconische games ooit gemaakt. Serie: Band of Brothers is tot 14 september te zien op Netflix. Waarschijnlijk de beste serie over de Tweede Wereldoorlog ooit gemaakt, iedereen moet 'm minstens één keertje gezien hebben.

Alors qu'Apple s'apprête à généraliser l'eSIM en Europe avec son prochain iPhone, une autre technologie pourrait bien bousculer encore davantage nos téléphones : l'iSIM. Plus discrète, plus intégrée, elle promet tout simplement de faire disparaître la carte SIM telle qu'on la connaît. Mais attention, ne la confondez pas avec l'eSIM.Avec l'eSIM, la carte reste une petite puce soudée sur la carte mère du smartphone. L'iSIM, elle, va beaucoup plus loin. Elle s'intègre directement au cœur du processeur, dans le SoC, ce “System on Chip” qui regroupe déjà le CPU pour les applis, le GPU pour les images, le NPU pour l'intelligence artificielle… et demain, peut-être, votre forfait mobile. En clair, la carte SIM devient une simple zone sécurisée dans la puce principale.Et ce n'est pas de la science-fiction. Dès 2023, Thales, Qualcomm et Vodafone ont présenté des prototypes fonctionnels, et la GSMA – l'organisme qui définit les standards mobiles – a commencé à délivrer ses premières certifications de sécurité. Les objets connectés ouvrent déjà la voie : montres, capteurs, appareils miniaturisés… pour eux, chaque millimètre carré gagné compte. Plus d'espace pour la batterie, plus de place pour de nouvelles fonctions, sans changer la taille des appareils. L'iSIM présente aussi un intérêt majeur côté sécurité. En étant intégrée au cœur du processeur, elle bénéficie des protections matérielles les plus avancées, rendant le piratage ou le clonage quasi impossibles sans accès direct au silicium. Et sur le plan industriel, la suppression du tiroir SIM, des connecteurs et même de la puce eSIM réduit les coûts de fabrication.Mais attention, tout n'est pas si simple. Pour les opérateurs, l'iSIM impose de moderniser leurs systèmes de gestion. L'activation et la gestion des profils se font avec les mêmes protocoles que l'eSIM, mais les diagnostics techniques deviennent plus complexes en cas de problème. Reste une certitude : après avoir enterré la carte SIM physique, l'iSIM pourrait bien redessiner le futur du smartphone. Et cette fois, ce n'est plus qu'une question d'années. Hébergé par Acast.

Helmut Jonen aka Waikiki5800 ist zurück bei echtgeld.tv! Was bewegt einen Investor mit über 40 Jahren Börsenerfahrung dazu, ausgerechnet jetzt bei CK Hutchison, Berkshire Hathaway, Diageo und Nestlé aufzustocken? In seinem Comeback bei echtgeld.tv beleuchtet Helmut Jonen gemeinsam mit Tobias Kramer nicht nur Bewertungs-Chancen, sondern auch politische Risiken – vom US-Wahljahr über China bis zur deutschen Rentenkrise. Und er spricht über Value-Chancen im Depot und wie man in unruhigen Zeiten nachjustiert.

Nigel Thurlow previously served as the first-ever Chief of Agile at Toyota, where he created the World Agility Forum award-winning “Scrum the Toyota Way” and co-created The Flow System™, a holistic FLOW-based approach to delivering customer-first value built on a foundation of The Toyota Production System.Throughout his career, Thurlow has gained an enviable recognition as a leading expert in Lean and Agile methods, tools, techniques, and approaches. He specializes in developing effective organizational designs and operating models for organizations to embrace both Lean and Agile concepts. By leveraging knowledge from various sources, Thurlow helps optimize organizations to enact successful, long-lasting transformational strategies in applying Lean thinking, Agile techniques, and Scrum – while combining complexity thinking, distributive leadership, and team science, represented by a triple helix structure known as the DNA of Organizations™.As of 2024, he has trained over 8,500 people worldwide in Scrum, Agile, Lean, Flow, Complexity, and organizational design. Thurlow is a Professional Scrum Trainer (PST).An instinctive problem solver, Nigel Thurlow takes a method-agnostic, cross-industry approach in helping organizations find the right tools, methods, and approaches to overcome challenges within their contextual situation. He advocates for the fact that there is not a one-size-fits-all prescriptive approach to agility; all tools have utility, but they also have contextual limitations. From this vantage point, Thurlow equips an organization's people to become an army of problem solvers, expanding their perception of what they do so they can better understand and prepare for potential challenges along the way.Thurlow is currently the Chief Executive Officer at The Flow Consortium, a collection of highly regarded companies in the Lean and Agile world — as well as the scientific and academic communities at large. The Flow Consortium strives to expand the boundaries of current Lean and Agile thinking through the understanding of complexity thinking, distributed leadership, and team science by tapping into the minds of top thought leaders from these concentrations.While at Toyota, Thurlow worked to frame Scrum as more than just a standardized behavioral process by applying and advancing fundamental methodologies to spur innovative, forward-thinking solutions to Toyota's most complex challenges. He also founded the Toyota Agile Academy in 2018. These efforts signaled a transformative phase for Toyota, leading the company towards organizational agility and helping its team members better understand this concept in an automotive production context.Additionally, Thurlow has been a board presence at the University of North Texas since 2019, serving as an advisor to the Department of Information Science Board and a member of the College of Information Leadership Board. He has also served as the President of CDQ LLC since 2012. Prior to that, Thurlow held executive coaching and training roles for companies including Vodafone, Lumen Technologies, Scrum, Inc., GE Power & Water, 3M Healthcare Information Systems, Bose Corporation, The TJX Companies, Inc. – as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He has also taught Scrum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).As an author, Thurlow was named a Forbes top 10 author for co-authoring the book “The Flow System™” in 2020. He has recently co-authored “The Flow System Playbook” published in 2023 which presents a practical study guide and reference book to all the concepts covered in the first book.His other notable publications include “Introducing the Flow System (2019)” and “TPS and the Age of Destruction (2019).” He is also the co-author of The Flow Guide and The Flow System Principles and Key Attributes Guidebook. Recently, Thurlow co-authored “The...

In this episode of the Canary Cast, Florian Hagenbuch, Co-Founder and General partner at Canary, sits down with Jose Gedeon, co-founder and CEO of Cobre, a Colombian fintech building the real-time B2B payments and cross-border infrastructure powering finance teams across Latin America. From his early fascination with M-Pesa’s case at the University of Pennsylvania, to failed attempts at building his own mobile money business in Colombia, a stint as a consultant at McKinsey New York, and a role at Oyo in Mexico, José shares how each chapter of his journey shaped the vision for Cobre. What started as white-label wallets for meal vouchers during the pandemic evolved into Colombia’s leading real-time B2B payments platform, now expanding rapidly into Mexico and cross-border flows. During the episode, José reflects on the unique challenges of scaling a fintech in LatAm, the pivotal customer moments that unlocked entirely new business lines, and the ambition of turning Cobre into the default infrastructure for payments across the region. In this episode, we dive into: From White-Label Wallets to Infrastructure: How Cobre pivoted from building digital wallets for meal vouchers into real-time B2B payments and treasury management. Cross-Border Breakthroughs: The customer emergency that sparked Cobre’s cross-border product and how it led to a new revenue line. The Role of Stablecoins: Why stablecoins are becoming increasingly relevant in illiquid or high-cost currency corridors like Colombia, Turkey, and Argentina. Scaling in Mexico: How Cobre reached $100M in monthly volume in only 8 months in Mexico—10x faster than in Colombia. Vision for the Future: Why Jose believes it’s still “day zero” for Cobre and how the company aims to become the de facto B2B payment infrastructure for LatAm. Founder Lessons: Biggest mistakes, wins, and the cultural values that define the Cobre team. Whether you’re a founder, operator, or fintech enthusiast, this episode offers a masterclass in product pivots, client-focused culture, scaling infrastructure in emerging markets, and building with ambition in one of the most dynamic regions in the world. Tune in to hear how Cobre is not only modernizing payments in Colombia and Mexico, but also shaping the future of financial infrastructure across Latin America. Guest: Jose GedeonJose is the co-founder and CEO of Cobre, a fintech modernizing B2B payments and cross-border infrastructure in Latin America. Cobre moves billions annually, already processing ~3% of Colombia’s GDP, and recently raised its Series B led by Oak HC/FT, with participation from Canary and other global investors.

Read, Write, Own by Chris DixonTranscrição do Episódio em Português: Hoje, estamos movimentando cerca de 3% do PIB da Colômbia dentro da Cobre.É um número muito grande.Mas, ao mesmo tempo, também é pequeno.Copo meio cheio, copo meio vazio.Isso nos dá bastante espaço para crescer. Agora, mudando para o inglês, para facilitar um pouco para você.José, muito obrigado por estar aqui. Agradeço por dedicar seu tempo. Estou muito animado para conversar com você. Como contexto, o José é cofundador e CEO da Cobre, uma fintech colombiana que está se expandindo para o México. Vocês rapidamente se tornaram uma das principais plataformas de pagamentos B2B em tempo real e de gestão de tesouraria corporativa na Colômbia — e, em breve, também no México. Sob sua liderança, muitas coisas empolgantes aconteceram. Vocês já escalam para centenas de empresas nesses dois países. Estão movimentando algo em torno de 18 bilhões em volume anual em folha de pagamento e pagamentos a fornecedores.E, o mais importante, estão se tornando uma camada crítica de infraestrutura para times financeiros modernos na região. Estou muito animado com este episódio, em mergulhar na sua jornada empreendedora, José, como a Cobre está modernizando os pagamentos corporativos, o cenário fintech na América Latina de forma mais ampla e, claro, a visão que você tem para o futuro da companhia. José, obrigado por se juntar a nós. É um prazer enorme ter você aqui hoje. José:Florian, o prazer é meu. A Canary foi a primeira firma de venture capital que acreditou na Cobre — e também o primeiro investimento de vocês fora do Brasil. Na época, nós até dissemos ao Marcos que expandiríamos para o Brasil… ainda não aconteceu.Mas tem sido uma ótima história até aqui, e vocês têm sido apoiadores incríveis. Obrigado. Florian:Sim, lembro bem disso. Inclusive, naquela época vocês tinham outro nome, não era? Acho que era “Pexto”, se não me engano.As coisas mudam, mas estamos felizes que deu certo. José, talvez possamos começar um pouco falando do seu histórico e da sua trajetória pessoal. Pode nos contar sobre sua origem e o que você fazia antes de empreender? José:Claro. Eu nasci e cresci em uma cidade pequena da Colômbia chamada Cartagena. Hoje é turística e bastante conhecida, mas, quando eu crescia lá, era apenas um destino nacional, relativamente pequeno. Eu, inclusive, nasci em Barranquilla porque minha mãe era de lá — que é ainda menor.De Barranquilla vêm muitas coisas conhecidas: Shakira, a Avianca (nossa companhia aérea nacional), e as últimas duas empresas colombianas que abriram capital nos EUA também são de lá.É uma cidade muito empreendedora. Talvez um bom precedente para a Cobre, não é? Venho de uma família de imigrantes libaneses — extremamente trabalhadores e empreendedores. Cresci aprendendo, por osmose, o que significava ser um empresario. Homens e mulheres da minha família sempre fundaram e até hoje administram empresas. Era um ambiente muito natural para acabar trilhando o caminho que trilhei. Depois tive o privilégio de estudar na Universidade da Pensilvânia. Meu primo Felipe — hoje cofundador da Cobre — estudava lá um ano antes de mim. Eu nunca achei que conseguiria entrar, mas consegui, e fui para a Penn cursar a graduação. No meu primeiro ano, li um business case sobre a M-Pesa, considerada precursora do dinheiro móvel — e, por consequência, de boa parte do que chamamos hoje de fintech: Zelle, Venmo, Paytm, GCash…A ideia original surgiu da M-Pesa, um serviço criado pela Vodafone que permitia às pessoas enviar dinheiro via SMS. Hoje, algo como 20% do PIB do Quênia transita pela M-Pesa. É completamente ubíquo. Inspirado nisso, tentei várias vezes criar algo parecido na Colômbia durante meus verões na Penn, mas obviamente falhei — afinal, eu não era uma empresa de telecomunicações. Ainda assim, essa experiência me mostrou como uma infraestrutura de pagamentos em tempo real poderia transformar a vida de milhões de pessoas e empresas. Ao me formar, voltei para a Colômbia para tentar de novo. E falhei mais uma vez. Foi aí que percebi: “o problema sou eu, preciso aprender a construir empresas de verdade”. Então fui trabalhar na McKinsey em Nova York. Passei um ano e meio lá e tive como cliente uma das maiores gestoras de venture capital do mundo. Eu era apenas analista júnior na equipe, mas aprendi muito sobre como os VCs pensam. Isso me levou a largar o emprego em Nova York e me mudar para a Cidade do México, para trabalhar na Oyo Rooms, um dos grandes unicórnios da Índia. A ideia era aprender mais sobre startups de hiperescala do que eu aprenderia ficando na consultoria. Fiquei um ano e meio na Oyo — até a pandemia começar. Com a COVID, percebi: “este é o momento certo para digitalizar pagamentos na Colômbia”. As empresas estavam forçadas a mudar. E foi quando decidi voltar a Bogotá, em junho de 2020, para tentar mais uma vez. E agora, cá estamos. Florian:Muito interessante. Não sabia de todas essas tentativas que não deram certo antes.Aliás, eu também estudei na Penn, me formei em 2010. Você foi alguns anos depois, certo? José:Sim, me formei em 2018. E naquela época, o ambiente ainda era mais voltado para carreiras tradicionais. A maioria queria ir para consultoria, bancos de investimento ou fundos. Eu era um dos poucos insistindo em empreender já na graduação. Participei até de competições de startups do MBA, porque não havia para undergrad. (continua na mesma estrutura — alternando Florian / José, até o final da conversa que você compartilhou).

How do you get clients as a financial planner without buying leads or relying on referrals?In this episode of Financial Planner Life, Sam Oakes interviews Jak Ali, Managing Director of J.A. Financial Planning Ltd, a Partner Practice of St. James's Place Wealth Management.Jak shares exactly how he generates clients as a financial adviser using creative, confident, and relationship-based business development. He has built his entire client base without depending on lead providers or a legacy client book.After training as a barrister and working on a death penalty case in California, Jak switched careers and moved to Dubai, where he began his financial planning career in a pure business development role. No leads. No shortcuts. Just hard work and smart strategy.It was there he learned a powerful truth:If you can master business development, you will never need to rely on anyone again.He later joined St. James's Place at age 26, going straight into self-employment with full confidence that he could build a book of clients himself. And he did.Check out St James Place Academy here - https://www.sjp.co.uk/academyOne of his most inspiring stories?Jak saw a Vodafone executive on LinkedIn, but calls and emails went unanswered.So he flew to Luxembourg, waited by the stage at a tech summit with two cans of Irn-Bru (the exec was Scottish), and landed a 20-minute meeting.That conversation led to a new client and a mindset shift that changed everything.In this episode, you will learn:

With more than 25 years shaping the telecoms industry across Vodafone, Ericsson, and BT, Peter shares his journey from building quantum lasers under the Atlantic to leading global innovation in 5G.He reflects on the pivotal career leap that took him from chemical physics into telecoms, the power of mentorship to spark growth on both sides, and why stepping into discomfort has been a constant driver of his success. Peter also explores how collaboration and challenge together unlock breakthrough innovation, from the Tactile Internet project to reimagining cinema through 5G.Breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions in the industry, Peter explains why 5G is far more than “faster 4G” – and how imagination, boldness, and mindset are the real keys to unlocking its potential.Packed with practical insights, Peter shares his “Three C's” for emerging leaders – Collaboration, Challenge, and Curiosity – alongside his quick-fire takes on leadership, essential engineering skills, and the most underrated technologies on the horizon.From lasers to leadership and beyond, this is an episode full of curiosity, courage, and vision for the future of connectivity.

In this episode, I'm joined once again by the brilliant Eleanor Tweddell, coach and change consultant and author of the new book Another Door Opens. You might remember her from an earlier episode where we talked about her first book on redundancy. This time, we're diving into her fresh take on navigating change—one that acknowledges how messy and human it really is. Eleanor introduces us to her five-step Change Mastery model, a practical and powerful framework designed to help leaders process change themselves before they try to lead others through it. We explore why traditional approaches to change often fall short, the emotional complexity leaders face in transition, and how we can show up more intentionally and empathetically during uncertain times. This episode is for any leader navigating change themselves or trying to lead a team through transformation. Whether you're facing restructures, technological shifts, personal crossroads—or simply the everyday micro-changes of life—this conversation offers clarity and compassion. Episode highlights: Why change is rarely linear and almost never neat The difference between managing change and mastering it How leaders can work through change themselves before leading others The five steps of Eleanor's Change Mastery model for leaders: Pause – Start by stopping. Create space to rest and think. Mess – Acknowledge the emotional complexity and personal impact. Play – Get curious and explore possibilities without pressure. Try – Take small, intentional steps forward. Restart – Begin again, but with clarity and intention. This is Influence & Impact for Leaders, the podcast that helps leaders like you increase your impact and build a happy and high performing team. Each episode delivers focused, actionable insights you can implement immediately, to be better at your job without working harder. About Eleanor Tweddell: Eleanor Tweddell is a coach, change consultant, facilitator, keynote speaker and author.

Nigel Thurlow previously served as the first-ever Chief of Agile at Toyota, where he created the World Agility Forum award-winning “Scrum the Toyota Way” and co-created The Flow System™, a holistic FLOW-based approach to delivering customer-first value built on a foundation of The Toyota Production System.Throughout his career, Thurlow has gained an enviable recognition as a leading expert in Lean and Agile methods, tools, techniques, and approaches. He specializes in developing effective organizational designs and operating models for organizations to embrace both Lean and Agile concepts. By leveraging knowledge from various sources, Thurlow helps optimize organizations to enact successful, long-lasting transformational strategies in applying Lean thinking, Agile techniques, and Scrum – while combining complexity thinking, distributive leadership, and team science, represented by a triple helix structure known as the DNA of Organizations™.As of 2024, he has trained over 8,500 people worldwide in Scrum, Agile, Lean, Flow, Complexity, and organizational design. Thurlow is a Professional Scrum Trainer (PST).An instinctive problem solver, Nigel Thurlow takes a method-agnostic, cross-industry approach in helping organizations find the right tools, methods, and approaches to overcome challenges within their contextual situation. He advocates for the fact that there is not a one-size-fits-all prescriptive approach to agility; all tools have utility, but they also have contextual limitations. From this vantage point, Thurlow equips an organization's people to become an army of problem solvers, expanding their perception of what they do so they can better understand and prepare for potential challenges along the way.Thurlow is currently the Chief Executive Officer at The Flow Consortium, a collection of highly regarded companies in the Lean and Agile world — as well as the scientific and academic communities at large. The Flow Consortium strives to expand the boundaries of current Lean and Agile thinking through the understanding of complexity thinking, distributed leadership, and team science by tapping into the minds of top thought leaders from these concentrations.While at Toyota, Thurlow worked to frame Scrum as more than just a standardized behavioral process by applying and advancing fundamental methodologies to spur innovative, forward-thinking solutions to Toyota's most complex challenges. He also founded the Toyota Agile Academy in 2018. These efforts signaled a transformative phase for Toyota, leading the company towards organizational agility and helping its team members better understand this concept in an automotive production context.Additionally, Thurlow has been a board presence at the University of North Texas since 2019, serving as an advisor to the Department of Information Science Board and a member of the College of Information Leadership Board. He has also served as the President of CDQ LLC since 2012. Prior to that, Thurlow held executive coaching and training roles for companies including Vodafone, Lumen Technologies, Scrum, Inc., GE Power & Water, 3M Healthcare Information Systems, Bose Corporation, The TJX Companies, Inc. – as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He has also taught Scrum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).As an author, Thurlow was named a Forbes top 10 author for co-authoring the book “The Flow System™” in 2020. He has recently co-authored “The Flow System Playbook” published in 2023 which presents a practical study guide and reference book to all the concepts covered in the first book.His other notable publications include “Introducing the Flow System (2019)” and “TPS and the Age of Destruction (2019).” He is also the co-author of The Flow Guide and The Flow System Principles and Key Attributes Guidebook. Recently, Thurlow co-authored “The Substrate Independence Theory,” a peer-reviewed scientific article

From Disney to Microsoft, via Vodafone and Virgin Media, Cindy Rose has been a top executive at some of the world's best known companies. Born and raised in the US, one of her early passions was figure skating – a sport she confessed left her covered in bumps and bruises. After qualifying as a lawyer, she later switched to corporate roles, relocating to Europe then London. Her time at Disney included a shift dressed as Mickey Mouse's loyal hound, Pluto, welcoming guests to the Californian theme park. Now she's set to become the new CEO of the troubled FTSE ad giant, WPP – where her experience in tech and AI look set to be an asset. Stephen Smith talks to friends and colleagues to find out how Cindy Rose made it from law to leadership – and the challenges she faces as head of one of the world's biggest advertising groups.
