In this episode of Beyond Capture, Dean Elwood, CEO of Umony, is joined by Paul Ford, investor, advisor and exited founder of Acin, for a conversation on leadership, risk and the pace of change in financial services. Paul draws on his five years in the British Army and almost 15 years in banking to explain how the military trains people to assess a situation, make a decision and get on with it at the appropriate pace. He talks through the journey from running a consultancy to building Acin, stripping operational risk back to first principles and treating it as data, which allowed banks to compare their risks and controls against the rest of the industry rather than operating in isolation. The conversation closes with Paul's view on why AI adoption inside banks will take longer than most people expect, and what he looks for now as an investor backing founders through Aurrera.
