What are your previous experiences and positions held that contributed to who you are as a banking expert today?
I have been working with the participants of the entire banking eco system. I used to lead a banking business unit covering the entire NA. This helped me see the whole picture and observe the progress of the industry. I recognized the major changes in business models were all driven by technology advancement. The movements of banking industry today is no exception – driven by digital capabilities and FinTech.

What are your key business philosophies?
Open to possibilities and focus on practicalities. Evolution starts at the recognition of the need for changes.

Can you give us a glimpse of what you will talk about at the 2017 Banking Forum?
I’ll be presenting on the insights around the digital banking landscape and how it’s evolving in light of new technologies and business models used by FinTechs in Asia, including Hong Kong. This includes the current consumer perception towards retail banks in Asia and how they remain relevant in this digital transformation age where customers are becoming more receptive towards alternative financial services providers.

With the rise of FinTech innovations, how do banks stay competitive and leverage innovations like robotics, blockchain and robo advice to help them in their digital transformation journey to retain and win over new customers?

Besides the presentation, I’m also participating in a panel discussion on the impact of digital banking on physical bank branches in Hong Kong

The 2017 Banking Forum will be held on July 26 at the Conrad Hong Kong.
