Managing Finance in the Era of AI - KPMG & Light
This session is organised as a part of a 2-day Maria 01 NEXT Startup Festival. Built by community. Open to the world.
Join Jan Nyström, KPMG’s AI & Business Transformation Lead, and Michael Leibbrandt, Head of Partnerships at Light, for a keynote and Light showcase exploring how AI is changing the way companies manage finance.
Every finance system ever built does one thing: it records the past. Recording the past is not running a business. Light does both.
Michael Leibbrandt will share the story of Light and showcase what the platform is capable of. Together with Jan Nyström, he will explore how AI-native finance platforms can reduce manual work, enable global growth and help emerging companies build a future-ready finance operating model.
