A fireside chat with Umar Farooq

Yesterday, I had the honor of facilitating a fireside chat with the brilliant Umar Farooq, Global Head of FI Payments & CEO of ONYX at JPMorgan for the Global Clearing Town Hall.

We delved into a range of hot topics, including blockchain innovations, AI technologies, and fostering a rich learning environment. Umar shared a compelling personal story, recounting an anecdote about his daughter using AI tools for coding, an example that these new technologies will serve us in crucial ways, helping us reduce friction and work smarter.

The conversation highlighted the progressive direction our culture is moving in, with sharp minds working to solve challenges while fostering a dynamic learning environment.

I extend my sincerest appreciation to the exceptional leadership at the town hall, including Kiat-Seng Lim, Renata Vilanova Lobo, our regional heads and global partners. Your contributions and insights were truly valuable!

Lastly, immense gratitude to my dedicated colleagues driving the future of cross-border payments. It's your unwavering commitment and passion that make groundbreaking innovations possible! #innovation #AI #Blockchain #JPMorgan #CrossBorderPayments #Teamwork #Leadership
