Navin SuriManaging Director, Financial Services APAC at Accenture and Senior Advisor to the Board of Directors at the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN)

Navin’s startup developed the world’s first digital twin for banks – a technology born from hard lessons learned on modernising legacy systems and change at scale at global banks. He takes deep pride that Accenture acquired the technology and the team (Dec 2024). 

Navin now works with financial services clients to help speed up reinvention of their legacy systems, spur innovation, help adopt AI faster, and accelerate business growth. He brings extensive hands-on global finance experience, having held key Asia-Pacific leadership roles at Citi, ING, and Bank of New York Mellon.

Previously, Ernst & Young named Navin to their prestigious Global Top 30 Accelerating Entrepreneurs list. He’s served on the Board of Directors of Nomura Asset Mgmt in Taiwan for over a decade. Navin's been a guest on Nasdaq's Trade Talks and CNBC's Managing Asia TV programmes. He serves as Senior Advisor to Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), a not-for-profit entity set up by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, where he curates and hosts strategic dialogues between global policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, capital providers, and entrepreneurs, across the world. He conceptualised and curates the global and iconic, The Founders Peak platform.

Deep in his heart, he loves building new doors. 'I like to break things as much as I like to make them.' Navin is currently co-authoring his first business book together with two exceptional founders.
