ADAPTING TO CHANGE

It’ s the age of change. Enterprises are banking on the fact that change always comes: but what does it look like to be at the helm of that change?
In The Finance Chief Interview, Chris Stansbury, President and CFO of Lumen Technologies, goes into detail about what leadership really looks like as a huge global enterprise begins to transform and adapt.
To no-one’ s surprise, AI is causing the change. But – what kind of AI? Visa has the answer as it continues to pioneer the charge to agentic commerce. Meanwhile, Klarna is using AI with a twist as we go into detail about the neobank’ s AI for Climate Resilience programme.
