In this episode, Dave and Dharm sit down with Cristina Pieretti, Head of Digital Content and Innovation at Moody’s, to explore how one of the world’s most data-driven organisations is reimagining itself through Generative AI.
Cristina reveals how Moody’s moved rapidly from early experiments to launching its first commercial GenAI product, the Moody’s Research Assistant, which became the company’s fastest-adopted tool in history. She shares how GenAI now powers everything from developer co-pilots to agentic sales and strategy tools, reshaping how thousands of employees work and think.
The conversation dives deep into:
How Moody’s is embedding GenAI across teams while managing risk, trust, and data integrity.
The cultural shift needed to make AI adoption part of everyone’s job — not just the developers’.
Why agentic systems represent the next big leap for productivity and innovation.
How banks and financial institutions are following suit, with parallels drawn to the early days of cloud adoption.
Cristina’s candid thoughts on the so-called “AI bubble” and why she believes specialisation and high-quality data will separate lasting innovation from hype.
This is a masterclass in how established financial institutions can turn disruption into opportunity, with human creativity and trusted data at the core.

EP 130: DEMYSTIFYING THE FINTECH HUB OF LITHUANIA WITH GRETA RANONYTE
In this episode, Dharmesh sits down with Greta Ranonytė, Head of FinTech Hub LT, to explore what is driving Lithuania’s rise as a leading FinTech destination. Greta outlines the country’s key advantages, from seamless access to the EU market post-Brexit and progressive, FinTech friendly regulation, to a deep talent pool, especially in compliance and anti-money laundering.
They delve into the evolving role of AI in FinTech, recognising its value in streamlining operations, though noting it remains a supporting tool rather than a central focus for most firms. Greta also compares Lithuania’s competitive edge to other European FinTech hubs such as the Netherlands and Estonia.
The conversation underscores Lithuania’s strategic approach to attracting FinTechs through regulatory innovation and robust infrastructure, even as EU wide regulatory pressures mount. The episode closes with Greta’s compelling pitch to international start-ups, particularly from the US and Asia, on why Lithuania offers a smart, scalable base for European expansion.
