In this episode of CFO Weekly, Alex Curran, Chief Executive Officer at Aptitude Software, joins Megan Weis to explore why AI adoption in finance is being held back not by the AI models themselves, but by the outdated architecture and fragmented data infrastructure underneath them. Alex brings a unique perspective shaped by over two decades working with organizations of all sizes and sectors to implement and modernize their finance and accounting systems.

With deep experience supporting some of the world's largest and most complex organizations including those reporting to public markets. Alex shares how Aptitude Software has identified a critical gap in the market for a modern, AI-native finance ERP. Currently serving as CEO at Aptitude Software, a global provider of finance technology solutions, Alex discusses why real-time data, auditability, and open AI architecture are becoming the defining competitive advantages for CFOs navigating the era of autonomous finance.
