In this episode, we explore how today’s technology leaders can stay sharp, innovative, and effective in a world transformed by AI and rapid organizational change. We look at what it really takes to remain close to the craft, how to judge AI tools by their actual business impact, and why the right team structure is essential for experimentation and long‑term growth.
Paweł Dolega talks with Ed Addario, CTO at Kuda - a seasoned technologist whose passion began at age 11 with a TRS‑80 and evolved into a career spanning mobile, cloud, AI, and over 15 years in fintech. Ed co-founded Navro and previously served as CTO at Currencycloud and Salary Finance. Today, he’s helping drive Kuda’s mission of “banking for every African on the planet.” He’s also an active member of IEEE and ACM.
Ed shares his perspective on staying relevant as a hands-on leader, building organizations that encourage innovation, and navigating the journey from startup chaos to scaleup discipline. He also reflects on the realities of attracting top engineering talent in a competitive global market.
