#078 - The End of Siloed Enterprise AI with Aily CEO Bianca Anghelina

This week on GAEA Talks Live from HumanX, Graeme Scott sits down with Bianca Anghelina - founder and CEO of Aily Labs, 2025 CNBC Changemaker, and the former Head of Global Digital Finance at Novartis turned builder of the first enterprise decision-intelligence mobile app.Bianca's career sits at the intersection of business, finance and technology. She studied business and finance and added technology management at university, worked in consultancy and inside one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, and in 2018 implemented AI to disrupt her own multi-billion dollar PNL planning role at Novartis. That experience became the seed of Aily Labs, which she founded in 2020 to build a decision advisor for every employee in the enterprise. Aily Labs has been profitable since its first year, grew customer growth by five hundred percent last year, counts Sanofi, Johnson and Johnson and Teva among its clients, and now serves more than thirty eight thousand users worldwide.In this episode, recorded live at HumanX 2026 in San Francisco, Bianca explains why the era of siloed data has given way to an even bigger problem - siloed AI - and why connecting the dots across functions is now the most valuable thing an enterprise AI platform can do. She argues that AI has to move from collaboration to fusion, from processes to routines, and from vertical expertise to horizontal leadership.What you'll take away from this conversation:- Why decision intelligence is fundamentally different from workflow automation - it reinvents how companies operate- The difference between "optimising workflows with AI" and "running the company with AI"- Why siloed data has become siloed AI - and why breaking those silos is the real prize- The "fusion, not collaboration" model - and how AI agents collapse the last barriers inside the enterprise- The horizontal leadership shift - why AI turns every employee into a mini-CEO with access to the whole business- Why Steve Jobs' obsession with beauty applies to enterprise software and accelerates adoption at scale- The "routines, not processes" insight - and why daily AI use is more sustainable than quarterly projects- How one Aily customer scaled from three hundred to fifteen thousand users in a year by treating adoption as a KPI- Why shadow AI inside enterprises is a symptom - not a security problem - and how to channel it- Why the most optimised enterprise of the next decade will personalise AI for every user while optimising the global P&L- Why imperfect data should not stop enterprise AI projects - and what to do instead- The real risk for incumbents that fail to fuse AI into daily operationsAbout Bianca Anghelina:Bianca Anghelina is the founder and CEO of Aily Labs, the decision-intelligence platform that acts as an AI decision advisor for every employee in the enterprise.
