DataFramed

Financial institutions are racing to harness the power of AI, but the path to implementation is filled with challenges. From feature engineering to model deployment, the technical complexities of AI adoption in finance require careful navigation of both technological and regulatory landscapes. How do you build AI systems that satisfy strict compliance requirements while still delivering business value? What skills should teams prioritize as AI tools become more accessible through natural language interfaces? With the pressure to reduce model development time from months to days, how can organizations maintain proper governance while still moving at the speed modern business demands?

Vijay is a seasoned analytics, product, and technology executive. As EVP of Global Solutions & Analytics at Experian, he runs the department that creates Experian's Ascend financial AI platform. Promoted multiple times in eight years, Vijay now leads a team of more than 70 at Experian. He is one of the youngest execs at Experian, believing strongly in understanding and accepting risk. He has built and run data, engineering, and IT teams, and created market-leading products.
