AMBUSH On Air: Live from Convergence 2025 with Corpay


Listen Later

Recorded live from Miami at the resurgence of Convergence, this episode of AMBUSH On Air brings together two seasoned Microsoft channel nerds who’ve seen it all—from the original Convergence concerts to today’s AI-first roadmap.

Sam Bush sits down with Tiffany Allen, Director of ERP Channels & Alliances, Corpay Cross-Border Solutions at Corpay’s, to talk about 20 years in the channel, how events like Convergence really drive pipeline, and why automation for everything (yes, even payables) is the hill she’ll happily die on.

They swap stories—from spilling red wine on a brand-new partner at “old” Convergence to helping partners navigate AI agents, global payments, and the new reality of community-led demand gen.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • What “making payments local to global” really means across 200+ countries and 145 currencies

  • How Corpay is approaching AI (including hiring a Chief AI Officer) to drive efficiency and better ERP-connected experiences

  • Real-world use cases for AI agents: meeting notes, follow-ups, out-of-office messages, social content, and internal systems

  • Why Tiffany built “Penny,” an AI clone of her voice for LinkedIn, partner invites, and channel communication

  • A candid take on community as the new demand gen funnel—and why events like Convergence still matter for attribution and pipeline

  • How cross-border payments, crypto, and automation are changing the controller and finance leader’s day-to-day

If you live in the Microsoft ecosystem, work with global payments, or are trying to figure out how AI + community + events fit into your 2025 go-to-market, this conversation will feel like a debrief at the hotel bar—with actual tactics you can steal.
