Advisor to Chief Executive Officer, Interim Innovations Lead

2024 - 2024

My quick challenge as was to help sparkle a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship as a part of the corporate strategy for the current year, at one of top banks in the region. I've mobilized a cross-functional team of internal talent, we're getting sponsorship from the CEO and buy-in from his board and the full attention of the leadership team and its AI community. We delivered the very first in-house GenAI innovation from idea to production in record time of few weeks, not months or years as expected. We restarted the trust in internal talent to self-form and manage + to deliver cutting-edge upgrades with real business dollar value in fast-track mode like a startup. Everyone enjoyed the ride and kept smiling so definitely a way to go!
