About this episode:
From hedge funds to building AI agents, Samantha McBride's journey into fintech has been anything but conventional.
In this bonus episode of Fintech Insider Insights, David M. Brear is joined by Samantha McBride, founder and CEO of Ani Tech, to explore how AI agents are transforming financial services and why firms that fail to embrace the technology risk being left behind.
Samantha shares how a New Year's resolution to learn coding with her mum led her to leave a career in hedge funds and launch her own AI company. They discuss how Ani Tech is helping firms like Octopus Money automate workflows, where AI is already delivering real value, and what's holding financial institutions back from adoption.
Guests:
Samantha McBride - CEO of Ani Tech
