FIMA Events

To close it off, Mizuho’s Jean-Christophe Lionti, Junaid Farooq, and Eric Gonzalez from Eastern Bank discussed how to further your data strategy goals while taking care of the boardroom’s priorities.    It's not an easy task, especially when the economy is not in its best state and there are a lot of unknowns on the horizon.    So they shared their wins, some missteps, and some other key points like:    • Speaking the board’s language and resonating with their priorities  • Framing the data strategy as a proactive investment for growth and innovation  • Showcasing tangible results from recent data initiatives     And with that, FIMA Connect US 2024 has come to an end! A huge thank you to all our sponsors and speakers for helping us create an incredible program. And of course, we can’t forget about our team who made sure the event ran as smoothly as possible.    Olivia Johanson, Randi Greenberg, Brittney Wilson, Debbie Vazquez, Elise Kienle, Anthony Gonzalez, Frank Musero, John Ward    For more FIMA next year, be sure to check out FIMA US 2025 in Boston, MA!    Use the link below to download it:    https://bit.ly/4fKrhAO    #FIMAConnect #chiefdataofficer #datastrategy #financialservices

We just held a useful dialogue between two sides of the business: A Chief Data Officer (Priya Reddy from Reprise Financial) and an Audit Leader (Xin (Cindy) Tu /CPA/CISA/CISSP/CDMC/AWS-CSA from Discover Financial Services).    They explained the value of building a partnership between the two parties to achieve better data governance and shared how they’ve personally achieved their goals within their own organizations such as:    • Aligning data governance strategy with the organizations’ overall business strategy  • Encouraging an enterprise-wide culture of collaboration  • Establishing a process for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of a governance framework     #FIMAConnect #datagovernance #datamanagement #financialservices 

Diego de Aragão, CFA, CTP, FDP and ⭐️Jay Krish took the stage this morning to talk about everyone’s favorite subject in this industry:    Regulations    As AI and machine learning come into play in financial services, new regulations are being established to protect consumers’ data. Dealing with a space that’s constantly shifting, navigating it can be overwhelming.    They did a fantastic job providing guidance on navigating the regulatory landscape as well as....    • The rationale behind the new regulations and potential impact  • The most urgent regulatory challenges  • How tech can help navigate compliance requirements     #FIMAConnect #data #ai #compliance #datagovernance

Kicking off the second day, we held a Women in Data Private Breakfast where we brought all the talented female financial data management executives together to talk about their shared issues while offering their experience and support.    It was a great supportive environment to learn from and encourage each other while making new connections!      #FIMAConnect #networking #womenindata #leadership

It's no mystery that business is tough right now for many financial services institutions. They need to figure out how to modernize their data infrastructure while being forced to pull back on spending.    It’s quite the challenge indeed.    That’s why we brought on Citi’s Diego de Aragão, CFA, CTP, FDP, Vijayakumar Gurusamy Raju with MassMutual, Hariharan Srinivasan, MCA from Franklin Templeton, along with our moderator, Kelly G. Dearwester II from Old National Bank. They discussed practical strategies to prioritize modernization goals, leverage existing infrastructure, and explore tools for scalability while keeping costs under control.     It's an extremely valuable session a lot of our financial data management leaders needed to hear today at FIMA Connect US.     #FIMAConnect #datastrategy #financialservices #datamanagement

We just wrapped up an amazing Town Hall with Prasanti Cherukuri from City National Bank, Anandh Asokan with Thrivent, and Heather Fitzgerald, MBA from Jackson.    As technology evolves in this space, the decision to buy or build platforms becomes more complicated. To help with this dilemma, Prasanti, Anandh, and Heather dove into the steps needed to create strategic roadmaps and guide these transformations without disrupting your current operations.    What a great session!    #FIMAConnect #datastrategy #datamanagement #financialservices #dataanalytics

FIMA Connect US 2024 is off to a fantastic start with some insightful sessions, including a panel remix featuring some of the most influential data leaders: ⭐️Jay Krish with State Street, Silvana Miller from Mastercard, and our moderator, Junaid Farooq.     Together they discussed the critical steps financial institutions can take to prepare for AI integration. While AI is past its novelty phase, not all organizations are ready to take that leap, nor do they know the best practices to integrate the technology with their current data strategies.    So thank you to our panelists for sharing your insights with all of us this year!    #FIMAConnect #datainsights #financialservices #datamanagement #dataanalytics
