Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · Brex’s AI Hail Mary — With CTO James Reggio · 17 Jan 2026 podcast

We have like three pillars to our AI strategy.

We have our corporate AI strategy, which is how we're going to adopt um like buy AI tooling across the business and basically every single function to be able to 10x uh our workflows.

And we have our operational AI strategy, which is how are we going to buy and build uh solutions that enable us to lower our cost of operations as a financial institution.

And then the final pillar is the product AI pillar, which is like are we going to introduce new features uh that um enable Brex to be a part of the corporate AI pillar of our customers?

It's like we want to build features and be a a a solution that somebody else is saying to their board, Hey, we we adopted Brex and this is part of our corporate AI strategy.

Yeah, and we have an atmospheric river hitting the the the city right now.

So a lot of yeah, well yeah, it's uh we're getting we're getting the full on winter effect right now.

you're you're here

Yeah, you know, it's it's something that I I f hear fairly fairly frequently because um there aren't that many folks with a front-end background who reach this level of leadership.

And it's exciting for me to be able to represent that group.

But I I'll say that even though my resume kind of reflects that I've been more on the the front end of things, it's probably more my experience as a founder a couple times over that actually helped me get to this this level of my career working for somebody else, becoming the CTA.

Yeah, it was very much like a leadership and and like general business role as much as it is a technical role.

And so I think it was more the skills that I built.

from starting companies and and trying to build those up made me a decent fit and enabled me to get the nod from from Pedro to take this on as my predecessor left about two years ago.

In fact, that was that was the the alternative.

I was considering even at the time that I got the phone call where they made me the offer to become CTO.

I was thinking about leaving to go start a company.

And uh, you know, I think what's interesting about it, we we actually launched um sort of like a new recruiting and employee value proposition for BREX a couple months ago called Quitters Welcome, where we actually intentionally are leaning into this idea that uh we have a disproportionate

Number of folks who go on to become founders or like heads of a department when they leave our company and and we celebrate that.

It's actually something that uh I I'm very proud of.
