GPS for homeownership journey
32:43Homeownership is normally looked upon as a part of the American Dream. Unfortunately, reality often squeezes out many of those who don’t have access. In this episode of One Vision — FinTech Fuse! Theo chats with Brendan Kennealey, Founder/CEO at NESTER, and part of the first cohort for CAFE (Center for Accelerating Financial Equity), on his quest to take some of the guesswork and stress out of the home buying and selling experience.

The year of AI adoption
16:33Generative AI in 2023 was a bit of an enterprise parlor trick: something that fascinated and amused workers-maybe helped them create an image or revise a blog post — but didn't provide substantial value to the broader organization. That's changing. In 2024, adoption is ramping up, and we're starting to see how generative AI will actually reshape the future of work. In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Chris Juneau, SVP, Head of SAP Concur Product Marketing, on how we can adapt to a changing world of finance with AI.

How can AI bring benefits to the day-to-day financial processes including working capital management? And what are some of the things that we need to keep in mind to ensure relevant, reliable, and responsible business AI? In this episode of One Vision, we chat with Christian Hecker, SVP and Chief Revenue Officer, Office of the CFO at SAP, and Thomas Mehlkopf, GM and Head of Working Capital Management Center of Excellence at SAP, on how AI can transform the future of work and the collaboration between CFOs and CIOs in driving digital transformation.For more insights, download second edition of the exclusive eBook — CFO Perspectives: Unlocking Insights Through Conversations.#OneVision #AI #DigitalTransformation #FinancialServices #FinTech #SponsoredAbout One Vision: One Vision podcast, hosted by Theodora Lau, brings purposeful innovation to spotlight.

Do we want banking to be spicy or boring?
30:27What are the real problems that real people are facing, and what is the financial services industry doing about it? Barb, Mary, and Theo reunited for a new episode of One Vision — FinTech Fuse! where we asked the rhetorical question of: “Do banks feel like the only way to compete is to put on a hoodie and pretend to be a startup?” Should we just put a .ai on everything? Perhaps time to consider Fintech Fuse dot AI? All jokes aside, do check out startups such as Debbie — a fintech that rewards consumers for saving and paying off debt, and “Send Now, Pay Later” fintech Pomelo — a remittance product on credit card rails. And don’t miss Mary’s new podcast: Money isn’t everything. Till next time … heed Barb’s advice: “Think about your fundamentals first. Get to your fancy stuff later.”
From Print to Crypto: Navigating the digital revolution with Keith Grossman
49:50How do you go from extraordinarily principled libertarian ideals that challenge the status quo to mass adoption? In this week’s One Vision podcast, we chat with Keith Grossman, President, Enterprise at MoonPay, former President of TIME magazine, and former Global Chief Revenue Officer of Bloomberg, on the partnership between MoonPay and PayPal, the maturity of the crypto ecosystem, the importance of regulation, and the need for concessions to drive mass adoption. As an accomplished C-Suite executive, Keith is an incredible thinker, a pragmatic leader, and a charismatic visionary. From digital currency, technology revolution, to media, and everything in between, this episode is full of nuggets of wisdom and is definitely one for the books. Besides, where else would you have a conversation on life, death, and possibilities if not here? As Keith said, “Don’t fall in love with the past. Go to the edges.”
Beyond numbers: Creating a customer-centric future of finance
23:57What drives people’s financial behaviors in real-life contexts? Do we truly understand what people need and what is functional for them? In the latest episode of One Vision, we welcome authors Erin Taylor and Anette Broløs to share the story behind their company, Finthropology, and to discuss their new book, Customer-Centric Innovation in Finance. Money is personal and emotional; financial institutions must find ways to adapt to the evolving digital world while maintaining the human elements behind financial transactions. The duo’s work serves as a great reminder that there is much value in actually talking to people and understanding where they come from — it doesn't always have to be bits and bytes.
