What’s in your tech stack?
A lot, honestly!
Sage for ERP, Salesforce for CRM, Procurify for procure to pay (naturally!), Notion for knowledge management, Slack for internal comms, Gamma for presentations, Granola for meeting notes, and Claude & Gemini for AI (automations & workflows).
Being the CFO of a spend management company means I get a front row seat to what we’re building and when AI-powered features actually change how you personally review spend, approve purchases and manage cash flows, you stop thinking of it as a roadmap item and start thinking of it as a new way of working.
What’s your joy and what’s your headache?
They’re one and the same: the speed at which AI is reshaping the finance tech landscape.
The joy is watching our own product team build things that solve real problems I have as a CFO. There have been genuine aha moments where I’ve thought, “I didn’t know I needed this until it existed.”
The headache is that the pace makes it hard to pause and appreciate any of it because the next thing is already in flight. It keeps you on your toes, which I love, even when it’s exhausting.
If you could wave a magic wand, what would you make software companies do for you?
Care more about the person actually using the product. So much enterprise software feels like it was built by engineers for engineers. I want tools that are intuitive out of the box, that talk to each other without a months-long integration project and that don’t require a manual just to onboard a new team member. Simplify the ecosystem, make integrations boring and seamless, then get out of the way.
What’s your best piece of tech advice for others in your job?
Stop putting up with software that frustrates you. The old “well, that’s just how ERP works” attitude isn’t an excuse anymore. There are better options out there, and the bar has never been higher for what good looks like.
The finance leaders who are going to win the next few years are the ones who stay genuinely curious, keep pressure-testing their stack and aren’t afraid to make a change. Don’t settle. The innovation happening right now is real, and it’s worth paying attention to.
