The HR technology market is booming - but with so much innovation (and noise), how can HR leaders and investors tell what’s truly transformative from what’s just trendy?
In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders Podcast, host David Green sits down with Thomas Otter, General Partner and Venture Capitalist at Acadian Ventures - a firm dedicated to investing in groundbreaking companies that make work better.
With decades of experience spanning SAP, Gartner, and now venture capital, Thomas brings a rare 360-degree view of the HR tech ecosystem - from building and leading product teams to backing the next generation of innovators.
Together, David and Thomas explore:
- Whether HR tech is going through a true transformation or simply evolving
- Where AI is actually making a difference, and where the hype is getting ahead of reality
- Why AI adoption remains slow for many organisations, and what leaders can do about it
- The traits and technologies that make HR tech startups stand out to investors
- The trends and breakthroughs shaping the next five years of HR technology and the future of work
If you’re an HR or people analytics leader, tech founder, or investor looking to cut through the noise and understand where HR tech is really headed, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
