In this episode of Workday Gold, I speak with Alan Raftery, managing partner of Nimbeely Extend Solutions, about his unexpected transition from a reduction-in-force situation into entrepreneurship. Alan shares his journey from FinTech into Workday, his years helping customers understand Extend, and how Nimbeely became one of the first independent partners focused solely on Extend.

We explore the realities of starting a Workday business — from finding the right mix of sales and technical skills to building trust among partners, balancing short-term delivery with long-term strategy, and knowing when AI truly adds value. Whether you’re a Workday leader, consultant, or executive, you’ll walk away with practical lessons and inspiration for navigating change.
