Legacy systems don’t crash companies—misaligned people do. In this episode, Marc Gasser talks with Füsun Wehrmann, ex-Group CTO at InPost and former tech leader at Microsoft and Wayfair, about how culture, not architecture, is often the bottleneck in transformation. She reveals how to untangle perceptions, build real change teams, and lead through ambiguity, especially with GenAI flooding the industry with both hype and fear. You’ll learn how to: ✅ Identify root causes behind transformation stalls ✅ Avoid hero traps and create shared ownership ✅ Tackle GenAI resistance with psychological safety ✅ Reframe change as experimentation, not perfection ✅ Communicate differently across stakeholder groups. Whether you’re scaling legacy systems or introducing AI agents to a distributed team, this episode offers a human-first lens on tech change. Want more?

Compliance is no longer a checkbox—it's a code-level commitment. In high-stakes industries like crypto, fintech, and aviation, a single line of code can trigger a regulatory crisis. As systems scale and speed becomes essential, compliance, auditability, and security must be baked into every sprint. In this episode, Marc Gasser sits down with Erwin Veldhuis—ex-CTO in the crypto world and now Head of Growth at CREATEQ—to uncover how compliance-driven development keeps companies secure, agile, and scalable. How are tech leaders building software that can: ✅ Pass audits with immutable logs and real-time traceability. ✅ Scale across multiple EU jurisdictions without rewriting infra. ✅ Operate 24/7 in hostile environments where downtime = disaster. ✅ Stay secure with CI/CD pipelines, four-eye principles, and live vulnerability scanning. ✅ Win regulators’ trust while accelerating product delivery. Plus, insights from the crypto frontlines, practical tooling tips, and the mindset shift dev teams need to thrive in regulated markets. Takeaways Compliance must be embedded from day one. Crypto systems run 24/7—downtime is a dealbreaker. Cybersecurity isn't a feature—it's your foundation. Cross-border scaling demands country-specific compliance logic. Train dev teams to think like regulators and hackers. Want more?
