Pathos CEO Omar Hamdi on IPO, AI tech & growth strategy

Pathos Communications (LSE:NEWS) CEO Omar Hamdi talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s mission to revolutionise media access for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through its proprietary AI tools. Hamdi outlined how Pathos Communications solves a long-standing issue in the PR space: getting SMEs into mainstream media coverage, a space typically dominated by billion-pound companies. With over 400 million SMEs globally, the company aims to scale impact through technology, not traditional PR methods. Pathos, recently named the fastest-growing communications firm in the UK by the Financial Times, is now a London-listed business. Hamdi highlighted that the decision to list was strategic: “We looked at all of the markets in the world, and we said, London’s the right place for us to be.” He also noted the rare backing of institutional investors, including Venture Capital Trusts. The firm’s roadmap includes scaling existing systems, global expansion into non-English-speaking markets, and advancing two internal AI tools: PathosMind, a PR brain for agencies, and Pressella, a virtual publicist for SMEs. “We believe that every business should have a full-time publicist,” said Hamdi. “The good news is you don’t have to pay $150,000 for one.” Watch the full interview for more on how Pathos plans to disrupt the global PR market.

Genflow Biosciences Ltd (LSE:GENF, OTCQB:GENFF) CEO Dr Eric Leire talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s progress in its canine gene therapy trial targeting sarcopenia. Leire confirmed that the dosing phase has now been completed with no adverse effects, calling it a key milestone in de-risking the SIRT6 programme for potential pharma partners and investors. He said, “We demonstrated some kind of safety, with the full dosing, we had to observe no side effect, no adverse side effect, even minor event.” Leire explained the study’s scientific rigour, highlighting its randomised, controlled and blinded design using aged dogs not previously involved in clinical trials. This, he said, addresses a major unmet need in the life extension field, with industry experts previously considering such a study “impossible to do.” Looking ahead, efficacy data is expected in January, with analysis focused on multiple endpoints. These include mitochondrial function, clinical data, muscle biopsies, and epigenetic markers like the methylation clock in collaboration with UCLA. Leire said the results could influence other Genflow programmes, including preclinical work on NASH, Werner syndrome and ophthalmology. He noted that Genflow is in licensing discussions with several animal health companies and reiterated that while Genflow is not an animal health business, a potential deal could be shaped by the strength of the efficacy data.

HIVE Digital Technologies (TSX-V:HIVE, NASDAQ:HIVE) executive chairman Frank Holmes talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's progress in both its Bitcoin mining operations and AI HPC initiatives. Holmes highlighted that the company has scaled its Bitcoin hash rate from 6 to 25 exahash over six months, a significant milestone that brings increased stability and improved margins. “We've hit that critical mass event where we have more stability and margins,” he said. He also noted the strategic benefit of sourcing only green energy, with HIVE supporting Paraguay’s infrastructure through the development of substations and employing local engineers. In November, the company mined 290 Bitcoin, representing an 8% increase month over month and a 180% increase year over year. Holmes positioned this performance as superior to Bitcoin’s price performance and that of peers in the sector. On the AI side, HIVE is seeing strong growth. Revenue has doubled in the past year and is expected to grow 5 to 6 times over the next 12 months. Holmes attributed this to the delivery of more Nvidia chips to data centers and a partnership with Bell Canada. He said the company is aiming for up to $140 million in AI-related revenue, with 10,000 clients worldwide already using or renting its services. Looking to 2026, HIVE plans to grow from 25 Eh to 35 Eh, with the Paraguayan government granting another 100MW of electricity. The company believes this could eventually expand to one gigawatt. Meanwhile, HIVE is repurposing a Bitcoin data center in Sweden into a high-performance computing hub, and sees strong potential at a site in New Brunswick, Canada.

Pinnacle Silver & Gold Corp (TSX-V:PINN, OTCQB:PSGCF) CEO Robert Archer talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's first drill program at the El Potrero project in Mexico, which will start with underground drilling rather than surface work. Archer explained that the underground access available at El Potrero, due to historic mining that ceased 35 years ago, gives the company immediate access to mineralized zones. However, he pointed out the current workings are limited in extent, and only sampling what's visible on the walls and ceilings leaves uncertainty about the broader potential. He emphasized that, “you want to be able to blend the high grade and the low grade, such that you have a fairly consistent grade going to the plant,” highlighting the importance of understanding grade variability and distribution through drilling. This 112-hole delineation program will target three known zones within historic mines, while still leaving key areas between the mines and additional veins for future surface exploration. The underground results will contribute to a preliminary mine plan, including potential head grades and mining approaches. Looking ahead, a surface drill program will follow to explore other veins such as El Capulin, La Estrella, and Dos de Mayo, which have not been drilled previously.

RenoWorks Software Inc (TSX-V:RW, OTC:ROWKF) CEO Doug Vickerson talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s continued growth and investment focus as it expands its AI-powered home design platform. Vickerson outlined how RenoWorks is helping users, including homeowners, contractors, and manufacturers, virtually remodel their homes using real manufactured products. He explained that answering the question "What will my remodel project look like when it's done?" is at the core of their offering. The company has shifted its focus in recent years to grow its licensing and hosting revenues, with the goal of increasing annual recurring revenue (ARR). “We made some significant investment in our product platform… and we're starting to see that come to fruition now,” Vickerson said. He highlighted consistent growth in licensing revenues over the last three quarters, noting that Q3 results showed strong gains alongside margin improvements. On the innovation front, RenoWorks has been leveraging AI for more than six years. Vickerson said that while AI terminology is widespread today, RenoWorks has long used machine learning, and new advances are enabling what he called “revolutionary” enhancements in design software. The company is working to simplify AI adoption for its customers, especially in exterior renovations, by offering tailored tools for the industry. Looking ahead to 2026, the company plans to maintain its focus on ARR growth and on enhancing product functionality using the latest AI developments.

OS Therapies Inc (NYSE-A:OSTX) chief business officer Gerald Commissiong talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s recent regulatory progress for its OST-HER2 immunotherapy platform targeting osteosarcoma. Commissiong detailed how OS Therapies acquired rights to a listeria-based therapy originally developed by Advaxis and how this technology has evolved into a precision platform targeting HER2-expressing cancers. The OST-HER2 approach uses attenuated listeria engineered to infect cancer cells, triggering a robust immune response. “Basically, once infected with the listeria, our vector releases additional cancer antigens,” Commissiong explained, noting how this mechanism amplifies immune activity via T cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells. He outlined progress with regulators, including a Type C meeting with the FDA, pre-marketing discussions with the MHRA in the UK, and a meeting with the European CHMP. “The tenor of those conversations… is around trying to find a pathway to get this drug into patients' hands sooner,” he said, adding that discussions included using historical control data and biomarkers as surrogate endpoints for accelerated approval. Commissiong also revealed the broader pipeline, including constructs targeting HPV-driven cancers and prostate cancer. Key next steps include biomarker analysis and initiation of a confirmatory study. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more biotech and pharma interviews.

Greengage & Co Group Plc founder and CEO Sean Kiernan talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's plans to float on the Access segment of the Aquis Growth Market and its unique Bitcoin yield reserve strategy. Kiernan explained how Greengage, a fintech platform offering accounts and lending services, is addressing challenges faced by clients in the crypto space and underserved SMEs. The platform facilitates wholesale Bitcoin-backed loans and focuses on private credit lending. He highlighted the company’s differentiated treasury approach, stating, “Our version is using our own fintech platform... to get a loan against Bitcoin... and then deploy out the loan proceeds to the private credit world.” The strategy seeks to earn a net yield by leveraging Bitcoin through lending, while protecting downside risk using structured loan mechanisms. Kiernan also shared details about the IPO plans, noting the decision to list on Aquis was driven by strong liquidity in the Bitcoin treasury space. Proceeds from the IPO will largely be used to acquire Bitcoin, which will then be leveraged to fund yield-generating loans. With over 40 client accounts opened and more than $350 million in loans facilitated to date, Kiernan sees significant growth potential. He said the IPO will help build awareness of the core fintech platform and increase investor engagement, while reinforcing the company’s strategic focus on Bitcoin as a treasury asset.

Great Southern Copper PLC (LSE:GSCU) chief executive Sam Garrett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest high-grade drilling results at the Cerro Negro project, with a focus on the Mostaza target area. Garrett said recent intercepts confirmed the presence of stacked lenses, potentially increasing the size and value of the copper-silver system. “The realisation in the recent drilling of the potential for stacked lenses is clearly going to give us the opportunity to expand the potential size of this deposit,” he explained. Metallurgical testing is underway to determine copper and silver recovery rates, which will enable the company to report results in copper or silver equivalents. Garrett said this will offer clearer comparisons with other assets in the sector. He also highlighted progress at the Viuda Negra prospect, where early drilling indicates a potentially large Maricunga-style gold porphyry system, significant as such systems have not previously been recognised in Chile’s coastal belt. While early gold grades were low, Garrett noted economic grades were intersected in mineralised porphyry zones. The company recently raised £2.5 million to fund expanded drilling at Especularita, with three rigs now active. Investors can expect news flow from ongoing drilling, further metallurgical updates, and planning for phase four drilling at Mostaza, as well as continued exploration at Viuda Negra and scout drilling across the broader Especularita region.

Chariot Ltd (AIM:CHAR, OTC:OIGLF) chief financial officer Julian Maurice-Williams talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about two key announcements tied to the company’s renewable energy operations in South Africa. The first announcement covers the financial close of two large-scale wind power projects — Zen (100MW) and Bergriver (94MW) — both located in the Western Cape. Maurice-Williams highlighted that Chariot Generation and Trading, a new subsidiary, owns 24% of the assets alongside project lead Acciona Energía. Construction is set to begin imminently, with commissioning targeted for mid-2027. The second announcement focuses on the financing of Chariot’s stake. Maurice-Williams explained the multi-layered structure, stating: “We brought in a strategic partner, and we’ve done it all at the subsidiary level… around $100 million net.” Funding sources include $284 million of project finance debt from Standard Bank and Investec, a $17 million equity investment from South African fund Mahlako, and a $9 million mezzanine facility from Standard Bank. He also outlined how the structure ensures no dilution at the parent level, while retaining control of the renewable business. Looking ahead to 2026, Chariot aims to generate material revenues from both its renewable and upstream oil and gas arms. Maurice-Williams also noted that the company is exploring the separation of these divisions and has entered discussions with ACWA Power regarding a broader Southern African sustainable energy platform.

S&U PLC (LSE:SUS) chairman Anthony Coombs talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strong growth in the third quarter of 2025 and the outlook for 2026, particularly across its Advantage and Aspen businesses. Coombs said he expects further momentum in 2026, even if the broader economy remains flat, due to increasing market share and the company’s operational improvements. He highlighted the recent performance of Advantage, the group’s motor finance division, which has seen “record collection rates” and strong loan quality following industry-wide challenges and regulatory scrutiny. “We’ve been trading our socks off for the last 3 or 4 months,” Coombs said, noting the investigation by the FCA is now complete and has confirmed the company’s compliance. Risk management remains a key focus. Coombs explained that S&U has improved its affordability assessments and credit scoring systems to ensure sustainable growth. The company is also introducing AI to support greater efficiency and customer onboarding. Discussing funding, he confirmed that net borrowings have risen in line with growth, and longer-term funding options such as securitisation are being explored. Looking ahead to 2026, Coombs said, “Actually, I see the economy slightly picking up in 2026. But even if it doesn't, we're going to be taking more market share.” For more interviews like this, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.
