Q . Describe yourself in three words .
» Professional , dedicated and creative . business . First , I put a significant emphasis on ensuring we have the right team in place with the right financial services domain expertise , while also equipping them with a true understanding of Amdocs ’ capabilities to bring its scale into essential conversations with our customers .
Second , how we position Amdocs is critical in establishing that our customers and the broader industry understand what we can do to drive innovation through our technology across this sector .
We are not a household name in financial services just yet , although this is changing rapidly , so I focus on leading the team in helping to make our mark .
Lastly , I find that empowering our people to focus on what they do well allows them to differentiate what they should be spending their energy on to deliver value to our customers .
Q . We always end on a light note ! If you were trapped on a desert island with three people ( family and friends excluded !), who would they be and why ?
» I would have to first say Bear Grylls , as having a survivalist expert on your team in that situation would be most ideal . While navigating life on a desert island , I think a comedic element may help boost morale – so I ’ d choose Jerry Seinfeld .
To make this the perfect trifecta , I would lastly hope to have someone who is always hopeful and strives for a better future .
One name that comes to mind is Shimon Peres , former Israeli President and Nobel Peace Prize winner , to share his wisdom and tenacity for never giving up on hope for making the world a better place – something people could always use , desert island or not ! fintechmagazine . com 19
