1345: AI-Driven Data Extraction Reducing Cost Of Contract Diligence
As an attorney and serial entrepreneur, Ajay Agrawal has spent years working with contracts within the private legal sector and built his first company, UnitedLex Corporation, to more than $300M in revenue. In his latest venture, SirionLabs, Ajay is working to streamline contracts for modern businesses' needs.
With 4x customer growth over the last 18 months, SirionLabs is a leading contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform that uses AI to bring businesses into the future. But what problems are they solving with technology?
Despite the rapid digitization of contracts in our largely subscription-based economy, only 15% of Fortune 500 companies are tracking their contracts' performance - resulting in up to 15-20% of the contract value being lost as value leakage, which translates to $2-3T lost annually.
While legacy tools to help manage contracts exist, they usually focus only on contract creation and storage. There's a massive opportunity to take CLM to another level by allowing companies to go beyond signature into the operation stage of a contract to easily manage their risks, obligations, and entitlements.
The company is already trusted by 200+ leading organizations including BP, Vodafone, and Unilever. SirionLabs has saved its customers over $2.2B. With decades of experience, Ajay shares his expert insights into new and exciting technologies that modern enterprises need to bring improved visibility and collaboration across enterprises.
Ajay discusses the larger role that AI will play in strengthening relationships between buyers and suppliers and the key to building trust over the long term. He also walks through successful case study examples as to how he's helped these businesses achieve operational excellence and why this can be transformative in challenging economic times that we live in now.

Marek Zmysłowski is a Polish-born entrepreneur and executive, focused on online businesses in Frontier and Emerging Markets, author of "Chasing Black Unicorns. How building the Amazon of Africa put me on Interpol Most Wanted list."
Silicon Valley meets Indiana Jones – Chasing Black Unicorns is an autobiography written by one of Poland's most respected internet entrepreneurs. Witty and humorous, the book covers many dramatic and often dangerous events.
Before moving to Nigeria to set up the 'Amazon of Africa,' Zmysłowski worked for one of Poland's most prominent financial services companies and is the founder of many online ventures in Central Europe. While establishing the first online network of funeral services in Poland, he had to overcome challenges from criminal gangs running the market sector.
His businesses in Nigeria have also made him enemies, powerful individuals who have corrupted police and government officials to stand against him. Overnight, Marek became an international fugitive and was put on the most wanted list by Interpol, an organization with a history of being manipulated by corrupt regimes. Zmysłowski describes this and many other events, putting them in the context of African history and cultures, a continent he is now deeply in love with.
The book reveals an engaging story of an entrepreneur who scales big businesses in Africa. Marek's experiences show the behind-the-scenes business building for many of us on the exotic continent and investor relations and the fight against big competition.
Marek also co-founded Jumia Travel – Africa's Biggest Hotel Booking Portal listed on NYSE as part of Jumia Group and HotelOnline.co – a Travel Technology Company. In 2014, he was chosen as one of the Ten Most Important People in Tech by IT News Africa Magazine. He is a Lead Mentor at Google's Launchpad and World Bank's XL Africa Program

2108-babbel-and-the-tech-transforming
Arne Schepker is Babbel's CEO, the world's top-grossing language learning platform. But I wanted to learn more about how he has leveraged technology and implemented a rather exciting approach to growing his business.
Babbel is a whole ecosystem of language learning offerings, with over 10 million subscriptions sold and over 60,000 courses for 14 languages. Arne joined Babbel as CMO in 2015, and later became CEO in 2019, successfully scaling it from a start-up of 250 employees to a household brand, with now 750 employees across more than 60 nationalities.
Arne is passionate about the transparency and authenticity of the Babbel workplace. Before he took up the position of CEO, he did job shadowing every single team at Babbel to experience what his colleagues were going through daily. Overall, this played a pivotal role in helping him better understand the necessary measures required to scale and grow his business even further.
Arne joins me o Tech Talks Daily to share how Babbel evolved its services from a mobile app to a multi-product ecosystem and how the pandemic ultimately digitized skill building. We also discussed the importance of integrating diversity and inclusion guidelines into your work culture and product offering and how to maintain a positive workplace culture across a team of over 750 employees in a tech company.

After reading how Facebook was looking at unifying all their messaging apps to allow seamless communication, I invited Dan Levy, VP of Business Messaging at Meta, to join me on Tech Talks Daily. In some circles, there is a myth that Meta, the company brand for Facebook apps and technologies, meant that the company was solely focused on the Metaverse. But Dan told me he is so passionate about business-to-consumer messaging that he has bet his entire career on it.

2273-kobalt-how-technology-is-empowering
Professor Giana M Eckhardt from King's Business School and Willard Ahdritz from Kobalt join me on Tech Talks Daily. Today's topic is how Kobalt leverages technology, to provide music publishing services and promote social responsibility within the music industry.
Kobalt's innovative technology has set them apart from other companies, enabling them to process royalty payments almost instantly and providing unparalleled fairness and transparency in the industry. This is in stark contrast to other tech companies accused of exploiting artists, such as Spotify and YouTube, who pay only a small amount per play.
However, Kobalt's commitment to using technology for good has paid off, as other major players are now forced to follow suit in response to the demands of their clients. Despite this, competitors will struggle to match Kobalt's level of trust and authenticity, as evidenced by the growing number of big names moving their catalogs to Kobalt, including Lorde and Paul McCartney.
I learn how Kobalt has successfully leveraged technology to build a brand centered around purpose-led branding, appealing to both artists and consumers who value transparency and fairness. We discuss how this has led to strong loyalty for both artists and consumers, solidifying Kobalt's position as a leader in the music publishing industry.

1071-pod-the-social-network-that-wants
The first generation of social media apps encouraged us all to take our friends, put them online, and communicate with them online. What would happen if we used technology to do the opposite and bring people together?
When I learned that anew social networking platform called Pod wants to help users make connections the old-fashioned way by leaving our homes and meeting in person for a face to face conversation, I felt compelled to find out more.
I quickly learned that Pod has already gained over 5 million users on its web platform and also recently launched a free app for iOS & Android. I invited Dr. Jo Webber, serial software entrepreneur, and the founder and CEO of Pod onto this daily tech podcast, to learn more about the social networking platform that puts people on the map.
We discuss how technology is creating loneliness among millennials and why meeting face to face is key to business networking. I also learn more about exactly what Pod is and how the platform helps users make friends easily in real life.

2532-shopify-and-the-new-era-of-retail
Did you know that Shopify currently powers over 10% of all e-commerce in the United States? Astoundingly, the platform has processed transactions amounting to over half a trillion dollars. Shopify, a juggernaut in the e-commerce space, is making significant strides in establishing a new paradigm for retail—one that marries flexibility and scale with the cutting-edge innovation we've come to expect in sectors ranging from AI to headless commerce.
In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I had the privilege to chat with Bobby Morrison, the Chief Revenue Officer at Shopify. I learned more about what differentiates Shopify is its commitment to enabling millions of businesses to maintain control over their brand identity, customer relationships, and data. This conversation is crucial as enterprise retailers grapple with rapid technological changes and ever-increasing customer expectations.
To cater to the complex needs of enterprise customers, Shopify offers three distinct 'flavors' of its platform, each designed to empower retailers to tailor their approach to customer engagement and operations. This level of differentiation is particularly critical in a market that is increasingly competitive, enabling retailers not just to survive but thrive.
One of the episode's pivotal moments was our discussion about Shopify's recent extension of its Shop Pay feature to enterprise retailers outside its ecosystem. With over 100 million opted-in users, Shop Pay is revolutionizing the checkout process, boasting the internet's best conversion rates. But, according to Bobby, this move is not merely a feature addition; it's part of Shopify's broader strategy to alleviate some of the most significant pain points that plague enterprise retail.
In addition to this, we also delved into headless commerce—a buzzword that has piqued the interest of many in the retail industry. Bobby demystified the concept, describing it as a technological shift and a strategic approach that frees up resources. It allows retailers greater control over the front-end customer experience, thereby aligning with the broader trends of customization and differentiation.
Another subject that stood out was the issue of latency. Shopify has mitigated this challenge through its globally scaled infrastructure, boasting over 150 network edge points of presence worldwide. According to Bobby, this approach has significantly reduced latency, contributing to higher conversion rates than competitors and aligning with the idea that 'latency is pollution' in the e-commerce world.
As we look towards the holiday season, a critical period for retailers, Bobby touched upon how Shopify is positioning itself to aid enterprises in their preparations and to navigate the forthcoming challenges. His insights suggested a focus on agility, scalability, and leveraging data analytics to make informed decisions.
Whether you're a retailer, a tech enthusiast, or just someone interested in the colossal shifts taking place in the retail industry, this episode provides a nuanced understanding of both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Qualtrics Experience Management (XM) is a software platform that helps brands continually assess the quality of their four core experiences—customers, employees, products, and brands. Last year, Qualtrics analyzed 2 billion conversations and 16 billion surveys.
The Company's X4 event takes place in Salt Lake City this week, where around 10,000 attendees will be discussing how technology can you turn a customer into a fanatic, an employee into an ambassador, A product into an obsession, and create the write-home, tell-everyone-you-know kind of experiences we all love. But, most of all, how technology can make Business more human.
I will report from the event, where there are three days of inspiring keynotes, breakthrough product sessions, live training with Qualtrics experts, and much more. There is so much going on with Keynotes, with some big names such as Ryan Reynolds to Martha Stewart and even music by the Killers.
In today's episode, I sit down with Brad Anderson, President of Products and Engineering at Qualtrics, about his origin story and why he left Microsoft. But most importantly of all, we discuss the big themes at the X4 event and what excites him about leveraging technology to make business more human.
