Most organisations have experimented with AI. Far fewer have translated that experimentation into meaningful productivity. Senior technology leaders share what it takes to move from isolated tools and pilots to secure, scalable adoption. The session will examine infrastructure, workforce behaviour, leadership and the practical decisions separating incremental improvement from transformative impact.
Alex Cave is the Chief Data & AI Officer for Business & Commercial Banking at Lloyds Banking Group. With more than 15 years' experience leading analytics, data science and AI teams, he has helped shape the adoption of data and AI across one of the UK's largest financial services organisations. Having worked across banking, capital markets, consulting and technology, Alex brings a broad perspective on how organisations can use data and AI to drive innovation, improve decision making and deliver better outcomes for customers, colleagues and businesses. His work spans everything from customer intelligence and personalisation to emerging AI technologies and large scale data transformation.
Renee Hunt is Chief Data & Information Officer at Mortgage Advice Bureau (mab), leading Technology, Product, Data, AI, Customer Experience and Change. With more than forty years in technology and transformation, including senior leadership roles at Sky and Compare the Market, she combines commercial thinking, a passion for people and culture, and a self-confessed geekiness about great engineering.
