About Gavin Slater

Enthusiastic individual with a passion for "doing things right", with 25 years of experience in Trading, Risk Management, Finance, Consulting and Auditing in investment and corporate banking focusing on front-to-back trading infrastructure.I believe that the changes in social behaviour brought about by innovation in technology will require large financial services companies to adapt their business models to continue to compete as well as co-exist with the many new fintech market entrants, while at the same time responding to multiple regulatory initiatives in a cost constrained environment.I have developed the skills required to help these organisations with this cultural transformation, specifically:1) Operating at the highest level in terms of strategy and senior management decision-making, but equally capable of getting down to the lowest level of technical detail2) Working in the real-world delivery process required across business and technology, in particular scaled-agile delivery methods required in a fast-moving world3) Building a digital data foundation with data governance implemented in technology rather than paper and embedded in real-world business processes effected through a pragmatic cultural transformation4) Managing the politics of large organisations transitioning from silo's to shared infrastructure and business processes5) A confident communicator in either large or small audiences
