What are your previous experiences and positions held that contributed to who you are as an expert today?
I have been a software solution professional/evangelist/architect for over 20 years with extensive regional exposure in Asia Pacific, having been based in Hong Kong, China (4 years) and Singapore (4 years). I have worked in various multinational software companies, as a professional services consultant, solution principal/director in the area of ERP, CRM, SOA, BPM, CEP, in-memory data and big data applications in different industries, but with a strong focus on FSI. Throughout my profession I have worked directly with numerous banks throughout the region, including some of the leading and most innovative banks in Asia.

What are your key business philosophies?
My philosophy is straightforward: help provide the software that gives our customers the power to change the world, starting with their own. I’d like to play a part in helping them to connect , extend and evolve their IT infrastructure to make things brighter, smarter, simpler, and faster for the world around us all. When I talk about success, I speak of our customer’s success and enjoy spotlighting their achievements. I will never compromise the success of our customers.

Can you give us a glimpse of what you will talk about at the Asian Banking and Finance Retail Banking Forum?
I will talk about the future of banking, which is OPEN. Whether paying for coffee with their watch or having all their finances on a mobile app, consumers are demanding banks to open up and share data with trusted third parties. Open bank is here. Are you ready? Be ready. I will discuss how APIs are helping banks monetise open banking for a significant business advantage. I hope to inspire attendees and help them prepare, plan, and take the next steps.
