he world of financial services has shifted , with the past decade particularly having ushered in a raft of new technologies that have transformed the industry globally . Data , the way it is used , and the services companies offer have all undergone massive changes which have been accelerated since the start of the pandemic .
Andrew Day , CDO for Pepper Global , believes the use of data will be key in improving the financial wellbeing of millions of people globally , who have been left behind by traditional financial systems .
A data and analytics leader with a career background that saw him spend many years in the telecommunications industry , Day believes that the key to better customer services , products , and a healthier financial market , is all dependent on how data is used . In the world of finserve , it ’ s also a way to bring financial literacy to those who have been sidelined by traditional institutions .
Doing data differently Day believes data and its handling is a cross-industry skill – and that all businesses could benefit massively from the correct handling and analysis of data .
“ I think the headline is that a lot of the problems you solve in any industry with data and analytics are transferable from industry to industry . So how you collect , collate and manage data is the first part of the process .
