Digital transformation can feel daunting, especially when legacy technology is standing in your way. In the latest episode of Electric Mindset, our host Nick Dyment sat down with Paul Kalinowski, who’s seen firsthand how large-scale modernization unfolds in capital markets and wealth management.

Paul shared powerful insights about why transformation is about more than just tech, and how breaking down monolithic systems starts with mindset, not code.

If you’re staring down a modernization project, remember: progress starts with prioritization and people alignment, not just technology.
