The Payroll Powerlist – Episode 6: Leadership Beyond the Boardroom

What happens when you bring together compensation, pay equity, AI, leadership, and the future of work?

In Episode 6 of The Payroll Powerlist #WithNeeyamo, our host Nancy sits down with Maria Colacurcio, CEO of Syndio, for a conversation that goes beyond her title and into the experiences, ideas, and decisions that have shaped her journey. Maria opens up about her career, leadership lessons, life as an athlete, and what keeps her grounded while leading a fast-scaling technology company.

The conversation then moves into the future of compensation and work - from decision intelligence and AI in pay to deterministic vs. generative AI, new-hire compensation risk, pay transparency, ghost jobs, and the difference between automation and true intelligence.

A candid conversation about the person behind the CEO, the decisions behind compensation, and where AI could take us next. Watch Episode 6 with Maria Colacurcio.
