Now Watch the Complete Episode Featuring CFO Holly Grey of Horizon3.ai
Holly Grey discusses scaling Horizon3.ai by fixing foundations: integrated systems, clear data ownership, and eliminating feedback loops that corrupt accuracy. She explains why CRM, ERP, and ticketing must connect, with defined metrics and a single system of record. Horizon3.ai deploys in minutes and has run over 100,000 pen tests, serving more than 4,000 customers, she tells us. Grey favors “slow down to speed up,” pairing quarterly views with trailing-twelve-month trends to separate signal from noise. Joining after a $100 million Series D, she prioritized hiring and FP&A guardrails. Her north star: scale efficiently while maintaining trust, transparency, and real-time visibility.
