Paul Robson, President International, Adobe commented: “Today’s most successful businesses are innovating with new partnerships and technologies, and they’re increasingly looking to their peers, new entrants and leaders from other industries for inspiration to drive meaningful and relevant customer connections. For those in financial services, they are rapidly evolving their digital strategies to deliver superior customer experiences, whilst having to comply with governance and regulatory requirements. Caroline’s experience and reputation as an internationally renowned investment banker will prove hugely valuable for our customers in helping them lay the foundations for future business models.”
