Data management is central to the entire financial industry, but this week I wanted to have a conversation with one of the founders of Governance, whom I've been following for several years. Bert joined me to explain it all in detail and to discuss how recent advancements, particularly the democratisation of large language models, are shifting the landscape. Since stepping down from his role as CEO, Bert has passionately delved into this subject.We discuss Governance, but more importantly, the impact of AI on FundTech, using onboarding as a key example. You’ll find that far from being a minor issue, it’s shaping up to be a real game-changer.
