Foresight for Bank Boards and CEOs

About Me

I work with bank boards, CEOs, and executive committees to govern uncertainty and prepare for what comes next.

I am a banking futurist and foresight advisor, focused on helping leadership teams anticipate disruption before it impacts performance, capital, and long-term relevance. My work sits at the intersection of foresight, strategy, and governance, translating structural forces like AI, climate risk, regulation, and systemic change into clarity for executive decision-making.

Since 2012, I have advised more than 90 banks across global markets, including retail banks, regional champions, and systemically important institutions. I have consulted with and spoken at many of the world’s most admired banks, including Citi, Standard Chartered, ANZ, ABN-AMRO, Deutsche Bank, American Express and UBS, to name a few.

I founded Bancly to serve a simple but urgent need: helping banking leaders move beyond reactive strategy and build foresight as a core leadership and governance discipline.

How Banks Work With Me

I work selectively with leadership teams through board-level advisory, executive foresight programs, and strategic engagements designed for CEOs and ExCos. These engagements help leaders:

  • Understand where banking is structurally headed
  • Link external forces to KPIs such as ROE, NIM, capital adequacy, and risk
  • Strengthen strategic clarity under uncertainty
  • Align boards and executives around long-term direction

My work is global, delivered through a mix of advisory, workshops, executive sessions, and long-term foresight programs. Engagements are tailored, confidential, and designed for senior leadership only.

Writing and Thought Leadership

I also write regularly on foresight, governance, and the future of banking. My writing is aimed at leaders who want substance, not noise, and clarity, not speculation.

If you are a bank leader navigating uncertainty, I invite you to explore the blog and join the ongoing conversation about how banks can lead from the future.
