The Digital Banking Club is about to publish their European Digital Financial Services Power 50 2015 list of banking innovation leaders and advisors from the likes of Barclays, BBVA, Citi, HSBC and BNP Paribas.
Earlier this week, I was both delighted and humbled when I received an email from Jerry Mule and Douglas Blakey announcing that I had been recognised in the European Digital Financial Services ‘Power 50’ 2015 – an independent ranking of the most influential people in digital financial services in Europe.

What makes this nomination even more special for me, is that I’ve been busy sharing my thought leadership mostly internally since I joined IBM Interactive Experience back in October 2014.
It’s a real honour to be associated with some of my good friends and most talented thought leaders like Fidor Bank’s Matthias Kroener, CheBanca!’s Roberto Ferrari, Banco Sabadell’s Pol Navarro and Nationwide’s Daryl Wilkinson.
