David is Accenture’s global Financial Services industry practices chair, focused on the banking, capital markets and insurance industries, and a member of Accenture’s Global Management Committee. In 30 years at Accenture, I have supported some of the world’s largest financial services companies on strategic initiatives such as new product and service launches, core system modernization, cost-base reduction and post-merger integration. I play an instrumental role co-running Accenture’s FinTech Innovation Lab, a mentorship program bringing together fintech start-ups and leading financial institutions, with labs in the UK, US, and Asia-Pacific. More than 270 fintechs have participated and raised $2.7 billion in capital.
