Steering $10 Trillion Daily: JPM Payments’ Global Head of Technology on payments, AI, and leadership

    Inside the mind of a Payments Technologist Leader

    Payments is an industry that rarely stands still, and Sri Shivananda has spent enough time in its trenches to know how fast the ground can shift. Now Global Head of Payments Technology at J.P. Morgan Payments, his reflections on leadership and innovation cut through the usual hype.
