Parth Desai, CEO at Pelican, said "We are delighted to welcome Tristan to the team. The company is currently flying high and the demand for our solution sets has never been greater. We are pioneering the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) whilst helping to protect our clients’ considerable investments in their existing banking and payments systems. Our commitment to continue delivering the most appropriate and innovative products on the market is our top priority and Tristan is integral to assisting us in achieving this goal."
Tristan continued. "My first major external engagement at Pelican will be spearheading our presence at the upcoming Finextra sponsored EBAday. This is an important event for us where we are also launching the first in a series of Pelican Points of View (PPV) discussion papers. This PPV, entitled “Innovation in European Banks’ Technology Estates” has been created to provide unique insights into the existing challenges all firms are facing on the complex journey to transaction banking and digital payments transformation. We believe the PPV will stimulate some lively and interesting discussions amongst our existing customers and also with the wider EBADay audience". Copies will be made availble tomorrow.
Tristan concludes. "It’s really refreshing being part of a progressive and responsive team, and to have the freedom and autonomy to innovate and build new solutions that are aligned with client and market requirements. I am excited by the opportunities that working within an agile, growth fintech firm like Pelican presents."
If you'd like to meet Tristan in person, then please do come and see us at EBA Day 2016, 7th - 8th June.
We hope you can drop by Stand 39.
