Selected topics on agentic B2B payments, autonomous settlement, and the orchestration layer above bank rails. Keynotes, panels, podcasts. For inquiries, the path below skips the form.
The decade ahead belongs to platforms that route across bank rails, not platforms that pick one. What changes when multi-bank orchestration becomes the default, and why most middleware vendors will not survive it.
A falsifiable prediction about the B2B AP function. The agent runs settlement. The human handles exceptions. The losers are any platform that stops at workflow and never reaches the rail.
AI agents can initiate payments. The settlement layer still expects a person. Why this gap is about to become a payments infrastructure problem, and what gets built to close it.
An inside-the-room look at the data infrastructure that anchored the Emdeon exit. What diligence teams actually evaluate, what the buyer pays a premium for, and the operating decisions that compound into a billion-dollar acquisition price.
$1.7T moves between US health systems and their suppliers each year. The B2B AP function inside healthcare runs on print-and-mail at a rate the rest of the economy abandoned a decade ago. Why the friction is structural, and what breaks it.
One repeatable pattern across Anthem/AIM, Change Healthcare, and Finexio. Find the friction in a regulated payment flow. Build the orchestration layer that abstracts the rail. Compound until the category bends.
