On today's episode, we focus on how banks will innovate in 2023. In our “Headlines” segment, we discuss recent articles about what roles banks are hiring for and how banks will support open finance. In “Story by Numbers,” you’ll hear about key numbers that highlight digital innovation priorities. And in “Pretend CEO”—or in this case, “Pretend CDO”—our guest pretends he is interviewing to be the head of digital at a major banking institution in order to describe the innovation challenges facing the industry. Join the conversation with host Rob Rubin and our analyst Tyler Brown.

Listen to the discussion with our host Rob Rubin.
