Going Beyond the Numbers in Finance Leadership
In the newly released third episode of From Zero to a Hundred, Simon Lidzén, CEO and Co-founder of Fast Track, sits down with the company's CFO, Nicky Abela, for a grounded, honest conversation that extends far past traditional spreadsheets. The discussion centers on the practicalities and challenges of establishing a robust corporate finance infrastructure while the organization experiences rapid technological changes.
During the episode, Abela emphasizes her reliance on historical data and an intuitive, comprehensive understanding of the business mechanics over overly complex forecasting tools. The two leaders unpack how this fundamental trust is cultivated and maintained at the executive board level, particularly as the integration of Artificial Intelligence shifts standard operating procedures around them. According to the firm, it is a highly practical dialogue intended to offer actionable takeaways whether or not listeners come from a financial background.

The Origins of Fast Track's Corporate Journey Series
The From Zero to a Hundred podcast series was officially launched by Fast Track in June 2026. Co-founded and led by CEO Simon Lidzén—a prominent tech entrepreneur widely recognized for establishing Fast Track as a leading CRM and automated technology provider in the global iGaming ecosystem—the podcast series serves to peel back the curtain on how scaling organizations navigate real-world growth pains, organizational evolution, and disruptive technical pivots.
The debut episode, which went live on June 9, 2026, featured Fast Track's CTO, Patrick Potocki, detailing the company's monumental transition from traditional coding practices to 100% AI-driven agent software development, a move that boosted engineering productivity by over 150%.
The second episode followed later in June, hosting Chief Product Officer Juan Pérez to discuss the strategic blueprint for leading teams through scaling challenges and managing the internal launch of Fast Track AI, the sector's first natural language platform for CRM.
