Investing in the Future of Work with Special Guest Thomas Otter

On this episode, Pete and Julie welcome long-time HR technology industry executive and Partner at Acadian Ventures, Thomas Otter, to share his insights on where ‘hype meets truth’ on the state and future of HR and payroll technology! Thomas shares his path from studying labor law and industrial relations to finding a career in HR technology and now fueling the future of HR tech as an investor. Thomas provides insight into the Acadian Ventures investment thesis and lens, as well as why the firm is betting big on what he calls the “infrastructure era” of HR tech. He explains why AI is prompting the industry to reassess long-held assumptions and challenges the hype that often surrounds so-called ‘game-changing’ innovations, as well as how unstructured data and conversational UIs are transforming our interactions with systems. Thomas makes a compelling case for why HR leaders must understand their business at its core - starting by knowing their organization’s “gold price.” Plus, advice on how HR buyers can cut through the noise to focus on what solutions actually deliver to solve problems and drive business outcomes!
