AI Without Borders Ep14 | Building AI for Finance Teams with Aleph CEO Albert Gozzi

In this episode of AI Without Borders, we sit down with Albert Gozzi, co-founder and CEO of Aleph AI, an FP&A platform redefining how finance teams plan, analyze, and operate. Aleph has raised over $46M from investors like Khosla Ventures and Bain Capital Ventures, and is trusted by companies such as Zapier and Eight Sleep. Albert shares his journey to building one of the fastest-growing AI-native financial platforms. He explains why in finance, AI can never be a black box, and how Aleph builds trust with CFOs by prioritizing traceability and transparency over raw model power. We discuss the trade-offs between accuracy and explainability, how LLMs are improving at numerical reasoning, and the impact of AI on workflows, team structure, and company culture. Albert also reflects on leading a fully remote team, and how a spontaneous OpenAI hackathon shaped Aleph’s fast-moving culture.
