75% of AI transformation initiatives fail to deliver full ROI. So what separates the ones that actually work? In this episode of Sounds Accurate, host Emily Campbell sits down with Philippe Omer-Decugis, SVP & GM Europe at BlackLine, who spent years in senior leadership at Salesforce and SAP before joining BlackLine. He's not here to sell the hype — he's one of the people responsible for making AI transformation actually work across some of the most complex, regulated markets in the world. In this conversation, they discuss: Why trust, not technology, is the biggest blocker to AI adoption in finance The three things CFOs need before betting on AI: the right use cases, a unified platform, and an upskilled team Why "platform before AI" might be the most overlooked piece of transformation advice What it takes to scale finance transformation across Europe's fragmented regulatory landscape — and now the Middle East and Africa Where the hype is still outrunning reality, and where agentic AI is headed next in the office of the CFO If you're a finance leader trying to cut through the noise on agentic AI, this episode is for you.
