#AI in Fintech Excited to share my recent interview with Finovate about the growing adoption of AI in financial services! As David Penn highlights, the question of "if" and "when" AI will be used in Fintech is no longer relevant. The answer is "yes" and "now". Innovators across the industry are already leveraging this powerful technology. However, deploying AI in highly regulated industries like Fintech comes with unique challenges. One of the biggest hurdles is ensuring trust and transparency in AI models. Financial institutions need to be confident in the explainability and fairness of their systems to avoid reputational and regulatory risks. That's where Citrusx comes in! Our platform empowers all stakeholders in the AI development process to collaborate and achieve 100% transparency in their models. This translates to faster time-to-production for financial institutions and other regulated entities while ensuring compliance and responsible AI practices. #AI #Fintech #Transparency #CitrusX P.S. Do your financial services processes lack the explainability and transparency needed for AI adoption? Let's chat! I'm happy to discuss your specific challenges and how #CitrusX can help. Feel free to reach out to me directly.

We used to have “#Takeovers” (TO’s since we love to abbreviate in #RevOps 😜): When I was working in #recruiting they taught me about the importance of measuring competencies. Not everyone who is good at sales, is a closer. And in #Sales this is one of those competencies you should be measuring of your team. Our TO’s weren’t always their (or even a) manager, but ALL TO’s had to be a closer. Their manager sometimes wasn’t the right closer for the deal. Well, last week I spoke a bit about 5 moves ahead and the importance of “Master[ing] building the right team.” Optimizing talent is one of the pillars that will help drive your #gtm forward. Understanding role differentials and their competencies and how to best place their true talent for success. If you’re a volume based business with a large sales org, your closers should be focused specifically on taking that deal across the finish line 🏁and getting the 💵💰and nothing else. Hopping from one deal to the next, simply closing. While this might seem obvious to those who work in #B2B #SaaS I can’t tell you how often outside of that space, I find closers working leads or building out that relationship, or giving demos, etc. 🤦‍♀️ If you follow me it’s little tidbits like this, that I teach, enhancing your #gtm beyond the B2B SaaS space as part of the #RevOpsunderground. If you’re a new follower here, welcome!

10 Mistakes to avoid in Global Hiring: We recently acquired updated stats of Israeli startups (we won’t mention the companies here) that hired and fired CRO’s, VP Sales and Enterprise Account Exec’s in the U.S. after only 6-12 months on the job! The damage to these companies in revenue, customer satisfaction/retention, overall image (from both customers and potential hires) is dramatic, has a price tag, and in most cases could have been avoided. If you’re an Israeli startup company hiring in the U.S., these are a few dynamics you should take into consideration and a list of mistakes you can avoid. Feel free to add your mistake to avoid or comment.

40,000. Let that sink in. Time is the enemy of everything, if you can weather the storm, time, you will find yourself and your company achieving awesome things. We are surviving, and I am excited now that the platform is built to bring in additional members to clean up the css to get it out to the public. I recommend honestly the bootstrap approach until things stabilize or serious funding or revenue are coming in. hire the talent you need to address the problem. half of companies kill themselves out of ego in hiring those who contribute to long term solutions that may exacerbate the short term. food for thought. it's only on supporting each other, rowing together, we weather the storm. #israel #israeliinnovation

Yuval Regev and his BI & Analytics team at Atera, the world’s first AI-powered IT management platform, lifted a core business KPI by 34% using the Loops Feature Impact Model. We are so proud and delighted to work with this leading analytics team. Initially, the naive effect (before/after) of a recent feature release appeared to have a positive outcome. However, with Loops they not only discovered that the causal effect was negative, they were empowered to make a series of iterative changes to maximize the KPI. You can read their case study to learn more about the process Yuval and team applied in making this significant impact on growth at Atera. #productledgrowth #causalml #causality https://lnkd.in/euc2JQDU

This post is dedicated to my non-Israeli friends. But everyone’s welcome to read it :)   I’m sitting down to write this post about 10 minutes before the Israeli Memorial Day transitions to our Independence Day. Every year this is a nearly unbearable transition, from deep sadness to pride and joy. We are taught, from a very young age (as early as 6 years old, as I learned this year through my son), that these two dates were set intentionally, so that us Israelis will always remember that our independence came, and keeps coming, at great cost. This year, I feel it’s even worse than unbearable. It’s simply impossible. I find myself uncapable of celebrating Independence Day. As a nation and a country, we’re still at war. As an individual (and far from being the only one feeling like this), I’m still mourning. I truly believe we should still find ways to be happy and participate in or even initiate whatever activities that serve that purpose. But highlighting the achievement of becoming an independent country, of forming a safe country for Jewish people.. Right now it just doesn’t feel like the right time to do that.     And here’s why I’m writing to you, non-Israelis. I want to tell you more about what I’m mourning. I hope this will help those of you who see Israel at a mostly negative light, better understand the complexity of our reality.   Personally, I fully acknowledge Israel shares the responsibility over the truly shitty life of the people of Gaza. Along with that, I’m mourning what Israelis must live through right now: The tragic loss of so many loved ones, so many of them in terrible ways that I don’t think I’ll ever dare expose myself to. The need to leave their homes, and uproot their families, their whole lives. The fear that we’ll never feel safe again, not in Israel, and not anywhere else. The feeling I often struggle with, that I might never fully recover from my personal Oct 7 experience. That I will never be my best self again because of it – not the best mother I want to be, not the best partner, not the best friend, not the best employee.   So back to the complexity – you see, almost all Israelis are like me. People who just want to feel safe, just want to provide their kids with everything they need, just want to be able to celebrate without thinking about all that is wrong in the world.   I’m proud to be Israeli, although I’ve never felt more challenged to say it out loud.

We all recognize the pivotal role of exceptional military leadership in guiding Israel toward peace and prosperity. Today, the people of Israel understand the urgent need for a seasoned command structure that is proactive, forward-thinking, and anchored in our core values, with an unwavering commitment to the Zionist principles of national security. To ensure our national survival, we must act immediately – indeed, we are eight months too late. To this end, IDSF is establishing a pre-army (mechina) program in Moshav Takuma in the Gaza envelope. The future military leaders of Israel will emerge from this program, well-prepared to confront the challenges of senior military leadership. The IDSF was founded four years ago by Brigadier General (res) Amir Avivi, and already has 30,000 members from all across the Israeli society. It is led by senior military commanders in reserve, educators, and professionals, and acts in the Israeli and international media, social media, Congress, the Knesset, in the education system and advises the Israeli authorities and defense establishment to ensure Israel’s security for generations to come. Our website: idsf.org.il We are establishing a training ground where leaders are forged – where lions are nurtured! Join us in investing in the future leadership of the IDF and the State of Israel. https://lnkd.in/ddFjRxps
