Ocorian has appointed Ryan McGrath to the new role of Global Head of Innovation, based in New York City.
Ryan (pictured) will be working across Ocorian to identify high-value opportunities driven by client-demand, rapidly iterating new solutions, and translate successful concepts into scalable capabilities.
Prior to joining Ocorian, Ryan spent his 15-year career at EY and PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he led some of the largest scale transformations across the financial services industry. During nine years at EY, he led enterprise transformation and AI deployment within the firm’s Financial Services Technology Consulting practice, partnering with the world’s largest banks, asset managers, payment networks, digital natives, and fintech firms.
“AI has collapsed the pace of software development and, in turn, the production timelines from idea to prototype. For Ocorian this means co-designing and delivering new, innovative solutions and products with our clients so we can support their operational, finance, and regulatory workflows at pace,” said co-CEO Yegor Lanovenko.
“Ryan’s track record of working alongside clients and operational experts to catalyse innovation into high-value solutions is why we’re so excited for him to join our executive leadership team. His energy and impact will quickly be felt by our clients and teams as he strengthens our executive presence in the US,”
“What excites me about this role is the opportunity to turn good ideas into great outcomes quickly,” said Ryan. “My focus is to identify the highest-value problems for our clients and teams, bring the best people and technology together to solve them, and then scaling what works across Ocorian. We’re going to shorten the distance between identifying an opportunity and delivering something that makes a measurable difference.
“For our clients, that means finding better ways to solve the problems that matter the most to them. If we can use technology to remove friction, improve the quality and speed of delivery, and give our people more freedom to focus on the work where their expertise adds the most value, that’s where innovation becomes truly meaningful.”
