Kenneth Chen har omdelat dettaKenneth Chen har omdelat dettaI’ve just spent an incredible two days in Croatia with Finnish tech company Aiven for their annual conference. From a tech start up 11 years ago, it has grown to be a leading provider in managed open-source data infrastructure behind some of the apps and online services we use every week. This event was about setting the direction and speed of travel for the future, and I was invited to deliver my keynote ‘Altitude & Attitude - why mindset matters’. It’s always great when my story and message generate deeper questions and conversations and thanks to the fantastic hospitality, I was able to continue engaging with their brilliant international team beyond the stage. I loved the vibe, I loved the conversations. Thank you again for inviting me and for the incredibly warm welcome. This photo with event MCs Steph & Caio certainly captures the mood of Crab Week 2026. Steph made their outfits (seriously impressive) and I was intrigued to discover that Caio is not only a Welsh name, but also a popular Brazilian name too. It was great to meet you.

Kenneth Chen har delat dettaWe’re currently in the middle of our annual Crab Week at Aiven, and I’ve been reflecting on the energy from yesterday’s Hackathon. What really struck me wasn't just the ideas being pitched, but the fact that the entire team was involved. We had people from every part of the business, tech and non-tech alike, working together to build something new. The hackathon had two tracks: Building on Aiven and The Future of Work Seeing that kind of participation from everyone is a great reminder of why the culture here works. It’s not about your job title; it’s about the collective effort to move things forward.

Kenneth Chen har lagt upp dettaWe're hiring a Head of Legal at Aiven — and I couldn't be more excited about it. Legal is often treated as a gatekeeper. At Aiven, we believe it should be a business accelerator. That's the kind of leader we're looking for: someone who finds paths forward, works shoulder-to-shoulder with stakeholders, and brings genuine partnership to every conversation. This person will report directly to me, partner with our exec team, and own Aiven's global legal strategy — from complex SaaS and enterprise deals to M&A, compliance, and open-source licensing. If you're a commercially sharp, in-house legal leader who's built at pace and wants to do it again at a company with real ambition, I'd love to hear from you. 🔗 Link in comments

Kenneth Chen har omdelat dettaKenneth Chen har omdelat dettaBig moves in the Kafka ecosystem this week. With IBM’s acquisition of Confluent officially closing, many data leaders are asking what’s next for the streaming market. For those looking at the future of independent, open-source-powered infrastructure, the timing couldn't be better to connect. I’ll be in the Bay Area next week and would love to see you there. We’re hosting a deep dive into Diskless Kafka architecture, the next frontier for scaling and cost-efficiency. We will be hosting a Fireside Chat with OpsHelm, Inc. on how they removed disk bottlenecks to transform their data platform. I’ll be joined by our Chief of Staff, Ville Lehto, Director of Databases, Marko Bocevski and VP Americas, Clayton Sammüller. I am particularly excited for you to meet Greg Harris (Staff Engineer) and Eric Gong (Senior Solution Architect). Both are ex-Confluent and bring an incredible perspective on how the ecosystem is evolving and why Diskless Kafka is the logical next step for the industry. RSVP: https://luma.com/zp3duo7n

Kenneth Chen har omdelat dettaKenneth Chen har omdelat dettaLast month, we hosted Context is King in Helsinki - a small, curated AI developer meetup on building agents that actually work on real data. Turns out a lot of teams are dealing with the same problems around context, metadata, and data quality for agents - and want a room to talk about it honestly. On March 25, we're running the second edition in San Francisco with Flow AI. Same format: practitioner talks, no product pitches, real implementation stories. Event link in the comments.

Kenneth Chen har gillat dettaKenneth Chen har gillat dettaTurns out the best onboarding isn't a slide deck - it's a week in Croatia with 400+ new colleagues and MEGA vibes 🦀 I joined Aiven recently, and my first stop was Crab Week in Šibenik last week. Here's what I'm taking home: → A masterclass in high agency - people here don't wait for permission. They spot a problem, pick it up, and ship. → Insightful conversations from hallway chats to dinner tables. → A hackathons where we built cool demos - zero to working prototype in hours, with some teammates I'd met only a day before. → Deal reviews that pulled me straight into the customers’ world. No better way to learn the business. → A keynote from Tori James, the first Welsh woman to summit Everest. Her lesson on teamwork: on a mountain, you have to trust your teammates enough to let them pack your bag. → And a lot of fun with a group of absurdly talented, dedicated, high-energy people who care about what they're building. Crab Week was five days of alignment and ambition. The roadmap is bold, the challenges ahead are real, the opportunities are bigger, and the pace will be fast. Exciting time ahead! #CrabWeek2026 #Aiven #OpenSource #DataInfrastructure

Kenneth Chen har gillat dettaKenneth Chen har gillat dettaLast week, Matthew Scott and I had the pleasure of joining the Aiven team in their annual 'Crab Week' offsite, and what a week it was. It was amazing to immerse ourselves in the culture: from inspiring talks from senior leaders on the future of Aiven, to a 'hackathon for all event' (in which there were multiple People Team winners), and just really getting to know people in between. The whole week was so perfectly executed from start to finish, and with such a stunning backdrop in Croatia too. Credit to Kaisa Sosala and her team for all their hard work in organising!

Kenneth Chen har gillat dettaKenneth Chen har gillat detta🦀 Crab Week, Šibenik, Croatia — what a week. Last week I attended my first Aiven company kickoff — and it's a very different experience to a sales kickoff. When you bring the entire organisation together, something special happens. I got to spend real time with colleagues I don't always get to connect with — engineers, support, legal, FP&A, different regions, leadership and execs. Those relationships matter. The clarity on product strategy and direction was genuinely exciting. Aiven has shifted from a database platform to a data and application cloud — the backbone for agentic applications that simply weren't possible two years ago. Hearing directly from CEO Oskari Saarenmaa about why that shift happened made it land differently. The energy and passion across the organisation was infectious. A week of sharing experiences, collaborating and learning from each other — across every function and every region. Incredibly well structured and delivered, with so much to take away. Kyle Kearns Sinead McSweeney Clayton Sammüller Ed Ross Incredible customer stories, honest leadership, and a whole company aligned on what comes next. Aiven has been too quiet for too long — that's changing. I also got to experience my first Crabweek closing party — Crabfest 🦀, a DJ, a live band, and the Aiven karaoke tradition in full swing. Some performances I doubt I'll forget 🤩 🎤 James Bradbury Now we move from vision to velocity. 🦀 Next stop: #GoogleNext, Las Vegas. I'll be there Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd — come and find me at booth 6401. Would love to connect! 👋 #Aiven #CrabWeek #CompanyKickoff #DataCloud #AI #GoogleNext Kyle Kearns Conor Forde Conor O'Brien Markus Jaensch Ian Whiteside Mike von Speyr Amine Slimane Eero Tuomikoski Aurélien Pedrocchi Natascha Jespersen Galo Freile Tom Burns Ed Ross

Kenneth Chen har gillat dettaKenneth Chen har gillat dettaWriting from Split airport, heading home from Crab Week 2026 in Šibenik, Croatia. 5 days with the full Aiven Cast, all aligned. A few things I'm bringing home to the Americas with me - The product story just shifted. We are no longer "managed open source data infrastructure." We are the data and application cloud, the substrate for the agentic applications that were literally impossible to build two years ago. Watching Francesco Tisiot & Thomas from Kamino Retail vibe-code a production Postgres app on stage in 5 minutes, it's the shape of the next decade of application development, and the infrastructure underneath it has to be production-grade from minute one, this means multi-cloud, multi-region, secure by default, with the open source services engineers already trust: Kafka, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, OpenSearch, Valkey, Grafana. Aiven for DataHub drops next and i'm here for it! - The customer stories we heard were honestly incredible. Wolt's Samuel Tervaskanto on seven years of scaling Kafka from hypergrowth through today. Dojo, Equativ, and WEX engineering leaders on how AI is rewriting what a technical moat even looks like. These are the teams building the applications most of us use every week. - The people are the reason. Tori James, the first Welsh woman to summit Everest talking with us on altitude and attitude. A hackathon with every function in the company shipping code against "Building on Aiven" and "The Future of Work." & just generally catching up with colleagues and friends, relationships that make it all worth while! Finally, we are hiring in Americas, Sales Directors, Inside Sales Directors, Enterprise, Commercial and Inside AE's & Key Account Director, please get in touch if you would like to learn more #CrabWeek2026 #Aiven #Hiring #OpenSource #DataInfrastructure

Kenneth Chen har gillat dettaKenneth Chen har gillat dettaHosting a fireside chat not with 1 guest, but with 3 engineering leaders was a new experience for me! My stage guests were our customers from Dojo, Kamino Retail (now Equativ) and WEX. In the audience 300 Aiveners. Needed to make this conversation memorable to them. At Aiven we often get opportunities to challenge ourselves. This was one of those opportunities at the annual Crab Week we just wrapped up. I wanted to talk with my guests about AI, but not superficially. I really wanted to discuss change and how they were coping with it. Is there a topic more important than this one right now? In the past, companies relied on strong tech and strong implementation that was difficult for others to replicate. However, implementation speed has increased, and product features converge already in weeks, so replication costs are now close to zero. Where is the business moat now? Great conversation on this topic with my guests. Key insights: ➡️ In the AI world, “strong implementation” remains a moat but its nature is changing. The moat is shifting away from skillful code implementation to custom features implementation. Quoting Emmanuel V.: “Understanding the context and the problem space allows developers to focus more on great product features, building better products instead of spending their time on writing unit tests.” Ke X. defined what he called the “shift left AI opportunity” for the developers in his team. Developers will spend less time reading and writing documentation. The documentation will be written by agents and consumed mostly by agents. Developers now have the opportunity to spend more time designing products and working on what matters. ➡️ In the AI world, trust in the product will increase its distribution. Paulo Caldeira spoke about the great features they were implementing in the "Dojo Intelligence" product with AI. But “what happens if something goes wrong, we can't allow that” for the customer? Great customer feedback and trust will be picked up and amplified, magnified instantaneously by AI agents and recommendation engines. Missteps will be known immediately. Trust and reliability are key, even more than before for the product to expand its audience. 💡 So the moat has shifted, it has not gone away. Companies have the context, they own the business logic, the knowledge about their customer needs. The LLMs don't have that part of the context. 💡 The future is perhaps about rediscovering the value proposition again and allowing software engineers to move fast to create new products, as "co-designers", and not anymore (only) as builders.

Cleaning Up Financial Data Before the New Year As the year ends, many founders focus on closing deals and finishing projects. This is also the ideal time to make sure your financial data is accurate, consistent, and future-proofed. Clean data supports reliable reporting, informed decision-making, and faster fundraising/diligence processes. When your numbers are organized and consistent, boards and investors gain confidence in your leadership. Once January arrives, new goals, updated budgets, and operational changes will take priority. Addressing financial data issues now means you start with accurate historical data, prevent small errors from compounding, and reduce stress during tax season or audits. Common issues to address •Misclassified expenses that distort performance and margins •Missing documentation like invoices or contracts that slow audits •Revenue booked in the wrong period, creating inconsistencies •Duplicate or outdated records in accounting or CRM systems Quick wins: Reconcile all accounts Run AR aging reports and follow up on overdue invoices Standardize file naming conventions Deeper fixes: •Simplify your chart of accounts •Improve the month-end close process •Upgrade software to reduce manual errors Stage-specific priorities •Early stage: Focus on accuracy over complexity •Growth stage: Add departmental P&Ls, track cash burn, and maintain consistent SaaS metrics •Later stage: Move toward GAAP compliance and implement stronger controls The work you put in now can save time and prevent avoidable stress throughout 2026. A clean financial foundation supports faster, more productive board and investor conversations.

Just over a year at Greenstep now and it feels like a good time to reflect. After a year working closely with CFOs, Finance Directors and leadership teams, one thing has become very clear: Most finance teams don’t need more systems. They need more value from the ones they already have. A big focus for me this year has been around NetSuite and BI Book, and seeing first-hand how much impact the right setup and support can have. Over the past 13 months I’ve worked with businesses that have: • Optimised NetSuite to reduce manual work and improve efficiency • Moved away from spreadsheet-heavy reporting • Introduced clear, real-time dashboards for leadership • Built proper planning and forecasting where it didn’t previously exist • Needed a reliable partner as they scale or expand internationally In many cases, the systems were already there. They just weren’t being fully utilised. Once reporting is automated and leadership has real-time visibility, everything becomes easier. Faster decisions. Better insight. Less time spent on manual processes. What has stood out most to me at Greenstep is how we work with clients: • Practical and commercially focused • Strong expertise across finance and systems • Flexible support model - from ad-hoc help to long-term partnerships • Quick to respond and easy to work with • Focused on long-term partnerships, not short-term fixes Heading into the rest of 2026, the focus is simple. Continue helping finance teams get real value from their systems, improve visibility and operate more efficiently as they grow. If improving reporting, getting more from NetSuite or simply making finance run more smoothly is on your radar this year, always happy to connect. Here’s to a strong 2026 ahead. #NetSuite #FinanceLeaders #CFO #Reporting #BusinessGrowth #PowerBI

To my peers in the Nordic SaaS sector: Are you building on a compliance debt that could break your business in 2026? ⚖️ We all love the speed of building new AI features. But the EU AI Act has changed the stakes. If you're integrating AI in your software today, the full burden of transparency and risk management is on you. At Workday, we faced this head-on. We implemented "Responsible AI by Design." What does that mean in practice? We categorize our AI into risk tiers. For "High-Risk" areas like HR and Finance, we apply rigorous independent testing (ISO 42001) and ethical safeguards before a single customer ever touches the tool. In this way, we handle the heavy lifting in the background, so our customers stay compliant by default. What’s your perspective on this? Do you see this regulation rather as a driving force or an obstacle?

The skills gap is now a CFO concern. What does that mean for HR? According to the Deloitte CFO Survey 2025, 50% of CFOs across Europe now cite shortage of skilled professionals as their number one internal risk. In Scandinavia, the pressure is especially clear: – 45% report operational delays due to lack of qualified staff – 41% plan to invest more in digital and tech-enabled recruitment solutions this year – Only 17% say they feel prepared to meet the workforce challenge ahead This is no longer just a recruitment issue. It’s a strategic risk – and a shared responsibility. At Harverton, we see this shift reflected in our conversations with HR and TA leaders across Denmark and Norway. What they ask for is not just more candidates – but a better way to find the right ones. That’s why our recruitment model combines: – Algorithm-driven search across open digital sources – not limited to LinkedIn – A curated shortlist of 40–50 verified profiles within 14 days – Human qualification by senior headhunters – ensuring both skills and cultural fit. This is how we help Scandinavian companies stay competitive in a tighter market: Fewer distractions. Sharper insights. Better hires. The CFOs are paying attention. Are we, in HR, ready to lead the response? Full survey here: https://lnkd.in/drtPMgjb #CFOsurvey #FutureWorkforce #NordicHR #StrategicRecruiting #Harverton #TalentAcquisition #Denmark #Norway

A couple of key takeaways from the latest edition of Compliance Without the Boring Bits with Basware’s own Markus Hornburg and Gustav Gnosspelius: 1. Individual country invoice mandates are not designed to help companies build better or more transparent processes – they’re created to help governments have transparency into your company's business 2. Even if you’re fiscally compliant, your invoices might not meet your own accounting standards due to missing data - in other words, invoice mandates can REDUCE your touchless rates without proper planning 3. US-based companies are 5 times more likely to pay compliance fines than their peers headquartered in other countries 4. If you’re in the middle of or planning an ERP cloud migration, now is the perfect time to build a cross-functional team to transform your AP processes and drive tangible ROI For detail about the above and much more, be sure to listen to this episode which is anything but boring - it might just save your company a lot of money! #100%compliant #nowitalljusthappens https://lnkd.in/eVAPHEfT

Yesterday’s data won’t protect tomorrow’s business. But many CFOs still rely on outdated tools. By the time a risk appears, it's too late. The pace of disruption is faster than ever. Markets shift overnight. Costs change in hours. Yet, finance teams work in monthly cycles. That’s the real problem. AGSuite knows that risk isn't just about numbers. It's about how fast you see the red flags. And what you do before they hurt your bottom line. This is where real-time ERP changes the game. Here’s how finance leaders reduce risk proactively: ✅ Automated Reports - See what matters. Instantly. No manual digging. ✅ Cash Flow Visibility - Plan ahead. Avoid surprises. Stay liquid. ✅ Smart Dashboards - Insights delivered. Not buried in spreadsheets. ✅ Scenario Planning - What if? Now you know. In seconds. ✅ Cross-Team Collaboration - Ops, sales, and finance are finally on the same page. ✅ Faster Close Cycles - Know where you stand. Close with clarity. ✅ Compliance Alerts - Regulatory changes? You're already ready. ✅ Audit Trails - Risk-proof your records. And sleep better. CFOs don’t need more reports. They need real-time control to act before it’s too late. AGSuite makes it happen with Oracle NetSuite. Don’t wait for the quarterly review to find out what went wrong. Take control now.

It's been a month since I joined Kuljettava Oy as CFO and the learning curve has been steep, but rewarding (and there is still so much to learn 😁 ). As we are finalising the June half-year accounts and reporting and making final preparations for summer holidays, I wanted to take some time to reflect on what Here are three key insights that really stand out for me at this point of time: 🔹 Aligning Finance with Portfolio Growth Objectives: In a portfolio company, it’s about actively driving value creation across different business units while balancing the expectations of both the portfolio company and its investors. Nothing exceptional here, right. The key difference is the pace and scale things are done and that is exactly why I enjoy this environment. 📈🔧 🔹 Clear Communication During Change and Integration: Transition periods, such as carve-outs or acquisitions, are a given in a portfolio company. But what sets us apart (with reference to above) is how critical it is to gain & maintain alignment during these changes. The handovers aren’t just operational - they're cultural and strategic. 🔄💬 🔹 Innovation Must Deliver Real, Measurable Impact: In a portfolio company, we often look to innovation and new technologies like AI to unlock value - but the key is how to deploy these tools in ways that have direct, measurable impact. It’s not about adopting trends for the sake of it; it’s about aligning technological advancements with the financial and operational realities of the business to create tangible business outcomes and sustainable growth. 🤖💡 Excited to continue building on these insights and tackling the unique challenges and opportunities ahead. Wishing everyone a well-deserved and relaxing summer! 🌞 #CFO #PortfolioCompany #GrowthStrategy #Leadership #Innovation #FinancialLeadership #ChangeManagement #PrivateEquity

Yesterday’s data won’t protect tomorrow’s business. But many CFOs still rely on outdated tools. By the time a risk appears, it's too late. The pace of disruption is faster than ever. Markets shift overnight. Costs change in hours. Yet, finance teams work in monthly cycles. That’s the real problem. AGSuite knows that risk isn't just about numbers. It's about how fast you see the red flags. And what you do before they hurt your bottom line. This is where real-time ERP changes the game. Here’s how finance leaders reduce risk proactively: ✅ Automated Reports - See what matters. Instantly. No manual digging. ✅ Cash Flow Visibility - Plan ahead. Avoid surprises. Stay liquid. ✅ Smart Dashboards - Insights delivered. Not buried in spreadsheets. ✅ Scenario Planning - What if? Now you know. In seconds. ✅ Cross-Team Collaboration - Ops, sales, and finance are finally on the same page. ✅ Faster Close Cycles - Know where you stand. Close with clarity. ✅ Compliance Alerts - Regulatory changes? You're already ready. ✅ Audit Trails - Risk-proof your records. And sleep better. CFOs don’t need more reports. They need real-time control to act before it’s too late. AGSuite makes it happen with Oracle NetSuite. Don’t wait for the quarterly review to find out what went wrong. Take control now.
