Inside The Mentoring Round, CFO Aaron Levine explains how he views AI as a supportive tool rather than a replacement for human jobs. He champions AI’s role in augmenting the capabilities of finance professionals, through tools like the AI-driven ‘report insights’ feature in Prophix’ platform. Levine emphasizes the critical importance of system and team integration from day one during mergers and acquisitions. His experience with cumbersome system integrations at Blackboard led him to prioritize seamless integration to maintain data integrity and operational efficiency in new acquisitions.
