Lisa Frazier, Wells Fargo’s head of innovation, will deliver a presentation at Bank Innovation Ignite in Seattle in March 2019.
Frazier joined the bank in May, but though she is new to Wells Fargo, she is not new to banking. She was Chief Digital Officer at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, a Partner at McKinsey & Co. specializing in innovation strategy, and served as senior advisor to Citi Fintech.
Her mandate at the bank is to accelerate the company’s delivery of next-generation, customer-inspired technologies, products, and services. Her group leads programs in artificial intelligence and distributed ledger technology, as well as research and development in new technologies. Her group also oversees Wells Fargo’s startup accelerator, and its new mobile-first bank account, Greenhouse, developed for students and gig economy workers, and other for whom traditional accounts fall short.
Bank Innovation Ignite will be held at the Hotel Olive8 in Seattle, and will feature startup demos as well as sessions on data-sharing in the era of open banking, natural language banking, wealth management in the AI age, and much more. Attendees will also have the chance to seek advice and insights from fintech experts at the Innovation Bar.
