About Daniel Lereya
Daniel Lereya, Chief Product and Technology Officer at monday.com, appeared on the podcast "AI in the Future of Work" on April 15, 2026. He discussed the challenges of adopting AI in the workplace, comparing it to creating new habits that are difficult for people to form. Lereya stated that AI adoption requires users to gain confidence and that changes are often limited by what people can absorb rather than what is technically feasible. He also said that coping with AI requires organizations to adopt a "zero to one mentality" and let go of past approaches that may delay progress. Lereya described an initiative at monday.com called "AI month," during which the organization paused all other work for one month to rethink what they are solving for customers and how they work with AI. He said this resulted in a change of direction and many positive outcomes. Lereya noted that monday.com was built as a platform to give people the power of technology, and he argued that AI has accelerated this vision by making building blocks like boards, columns, dashboards, and automations more accessible.
