Neil joined NTT DATA in 2021 after having spent 30 years working for regional and global banks in Ireland, UK and Europe in digital roles covering product, technology, payments and transformation activities. Neil is now working with banks leveraging his experience in helping them address the challenges of the digital landscape with financial crime becoming an ever more prominent area of focus – he views this landscape as being akin to a ‘Tom and Jerry’ scenario where the wider banking industry has to be smarter, faster and more nimble in negating the efforts of the ‘Toms’ as they try to disrupt and plunder the financial eco-system. Neil has also studied in this area and holds a Post Grad qualification in Financial Crime Prevention.
