diginomicaExecutive Intelligence - Sage CTO Aaron Harris on how he built a different kind of AI for finance (and why SaaS is not dead!)Sage's 2017 purchase of SaaS finance innovator Intacct has become one of the most improbable acquisition stories in the history of enterprise software. Our hot seat guest, Sage CTO Aaron Harris, was in the middle of all of it. But bringing multi-tenant finance innovation to the rest of Sage was just the beginning. Now SaaS faces a disruptive challenge of its own, via the rise of agentic AI. How has Harris and team responded? And what has Harris learned from customer AI adoption? In our latest podcast, Jon Reed of diginomica digs in.

Stirrers and Saints: The Podcast24. The Leader as Sage: Make Mistakes, Gain Wisdom, Teach Others, with Bec OatesIs a sage an esoteric ascetic sitting atop a mountain, who only ever answers in riddles? Or is a sage the one who speaks the loudest and never thinks they're wrong? Perhaps (though probably not for the second one), but most of the time, a sage is someone who understands their own limitations, is willing to admit to their mistakes, and is constantly reflecting and evaluating and growing.
That's the sort of person we think most people would like to follow.
In this episode, Brian Harris is joined by Aaron Chidgzey and Bec Oates to...

UnderservedFrom coder to CTOAaron Harris is featured in Episode #104 of Underserved. As a kid in the woods of Vermont, Aaron still found a way to plug into technology.
