Event Recap: Reimagining Finance in the Age of AI

On the evening of June 30th, 2025, Preql and Brex brought together more than 75 of NYC’s top finance leaders for an evening of candid discussion, sharp insight, and connection around the future of the finance function.

Held at Brex’s NYC headquarters, the night featured a fireside chat titled "Built to Scale: How Founders and Finance Leaders Are Rebuilding with AI,” hosted by Preql Co-Founder and CEO Gabi Steele.

The panel brought together two distinct perspectives:

• Maor Levran, Founder & CEO of Slice Global, representing the founder’s view of building AI-first systems from day one
• Ken Yoon, SVP of Finance Transformation at Cross River, offering an enterprise perspective on leading change inside a scaled financial institution

Together, the group explored how finance leaders are navigating complexity, balancing transformation with control, and investing in the infrastructure needed to make AI a reality.
