The impact of AI is unfolding in real-time, and no one has all the answers yet. At monday.com, the transition didn't happen overnight; It began with early excitement, moved through a period of learning and adjustment, and led to the realization that our previous frameworks required a fundamental shift.

This episode marks the beginning of a series where we share the internal changes happening at monday.com right now, documenting the process while it is still "in the making" to provide a transparent look at a company in transition.

Darya Wertheim sits down with Eran Zinman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of monday.com, to discuss how he realized the company needed a fundamental shift in perspective. Eran shares the difficult reality of abandoning a successful strategy to climb a much steeper mountain. They dive into the specific dilemmas of leading a global organization through a period where the endgame isn't yet visible.

Rather than a retrospective on success, this discussion focuses on managing through the unknown. We cover the initial impact of AI on the organization, and the leadership required to keep 3,000 employees engaged when their core environment is being reshaped.

A quick heads-up: Since we’re on the subject of AI, we used it to translate this episode. These are Darya and Eran's AI-generated voices, bringing the Hebrew conversation to life in English. The episode first aired in Hebrew on February 2026.
