Our digital lives are continuously changing; new technologies, platforms, and approaches are adopted at a significant rate by society. Incumbent banks generally struggle to keep abreast of these changes - often seen as the dinosaurs of industry. My mission is to change that; to help banks realize their digital ambitions. Avoiding the "pretty wrapper" approach, preferably helping banks evolve their entire landscape digitally while keeping the lights on.
