Episode Angles & Topics

✨ AI Enhanced
Inside a Bank's Biggest Transformations

I walk through real transformation programs-IBOR-to-RFR, trading platform overhauls, and liquidity reporting-so your audience hears how high-stakes change actually gets delivered.

How a typical multi-year capital markets program is structured and governed War stories from IBOR-to-RFR transitions and what nearly derails them Why front-office, risk, and technology often clash-and how to align them What smaller fintechs misunderstand about selling into large banks
Demystifying Risk, Regulation & Data

I translate complex regulations and data programs into accessible stories, helping listeners finally 'get' how modern banking risk and compliance really work.

How FR 2052a, OSFI LAR, and Basel rules show up in daily banking operations Why data lineage and governance have become board-level issues Common pitfalls in regulatory technology projects-and how teams fix them The human side: change fatigue, culture, and communication in risk programs
Building and Selling Fintech into Tier-1 Banks

I share candid lessons from 500+ fintech projects on what it really takes to win, implement, and keep enterprise banking clients.

Patterns from 150+ institutional clients across five continents How to position a fintech solution to trading, risk, and treasury teams Realistic timelines, politics, and proof-of-concept strategies Why some promising solutions fail inside big banks despite good tech
Leadership at the Intersection of Tech, Finance & Policy

I connect industry, policy, and entrepreneurship, showing how ecosystems for fintech and software actually get built at national and industry levels.
