In this episode of Leaders in Tech, host David Mansilla talks with Adrian Smith, the tech head (CIO) of the London business consulting firm AdSatis. Adrian, who has helped banks and financial companies for decades, shares a strong warning about modern technology: it's incredibly fast, but also surprisingly easy to break.

Key Topics Discussed:

• The Power of Experience: Why managers who have seen years of booms and crashes are crucial for making level-headed decisions today.
• The Weekly Fixes Problem: Adrian asks why big software makers release hundreds of fixes every week, creating unstable systems that are always at risk.
• One Mistake, Global Chaos: We look at how a single technical failure can stop major airlines or shut down a bank for days, showing how vulnerable we all are.
• Work from Home vs. Office: A deep dive into why people need to be social, and why key jobs (like doctors and drivers) prove that society still needs people to physically show up.
• The Fight for Privacy: A discussion on why governments asking for secret entry points (backdoors) into our phones is a serious threat to personal freedom and security.
