      Leda Glyptis

      FinTech Visionary, Boardroom Advisor & Leading Authority on Digital Banking Transformation

      Core Intelligence Domain: Digital Transformation
      Location: London, United Kingdom | Languages: English, Greek
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Leda Glyptis is a distinguished FinTech executive, boardroom advisor, and pioneering voice in digital banking transformation. With a formidable career spanning legacy financial institutions and disruptive technology scale-ups, Dr. Glyptis possesses a proprietary understanding of the strategic foresight required to navigate the complex intersection of traditional banking and modern digital infrastructure. She is renowned for her ability to architect systemic change within highly regulated environments, focusing not merely on technology adoption, but on the cultural and operational paradigm shifts essential for enduring institutional success.

      A Legacy of Leadership in Financial Technology

      Dr. Glyptis’s career is defined by high-impact C-suite tenures across the global financial ecosystem. She formerly served as the Chief Client Officer at 10x Banking, a leading cloud-native core banking platform, where she was instrumental in driving client-led technological innovation and system modernisations for global banks. Prior to this, she was the founding CEO of 11:FS Foundry, driving modular banking solutions, and served as the Chief Innovation Officer at Qatar National Bank (QNB), where she established and directed the enterprise-wide innovation strategy.

      Her foundational expertise was solidified during her tenure as Head of the EMEA Innovation Centre at BNY Mellon, where she launched global technology initiatives and spearheaded transformative digital programmes. Today, she leverages this extensive operational background as a Non-Executive Director (NED) and strategic advisor, guiding executive boards through the intricacies of digitalisation, risk mitigation, and competitive resilience in an increasingly tech-driven marketplace.

      Thought Leadership & Proprietary Frameworks

      Beyond the boardroom, Leda Glyptis is a prolific author and industry commentator. In her critically acclaimed book, Bankers Like Us: Dispatches from an Industry in Transition, she deconstructs the psychological and structural barriers to innovation within legacy institutions. Her proprietary approach to transformation insists that technological advancement fails without equally robust attention to human behaviour, systemic inertia, and legacy mindset evolution.

      Core Speaking Themes

      As a highly sought-after global keynote speaker, Dr. Glyptis delivers uncompromising, actionable intelligence tailored to C-suite and board-level audiences. Her masterclasses and keynotes encompass:

      • Digital Transformation in Regulated Markets: Navigating the technical, regulatory, and cultural complexities of modernising legacy financial systems.
      • The Human Element of Change: Practical frameworks for overcoming institutional inertia and fostering a resilient culture of continuous innovation.

      • “Leda is a true leader. She is someone people follow -- me included (even when she reported to me!). Truthfully, Leda is one of the finest people I have ever worked with. Yes, she is smart, collaborative, insightful and sees around corners -- the qualities I look for in people I hire and work with. But the real value Leda brings is leadership. She raised our company to higher levels by leading them to believe in themselves so they delivered innovative solutions to problems that confronted our firm. And she did it at a time when BNY and the world were recovering from the great recession. It is one thing to do this in the boom years, but it is a whole different beast in down times. And she did. Leda did what she did in conventional and unconventional ways. Getting a colleague to dress in an elephant suit was one of the more memorable, but it worked! Most importantly- and why Leda commands my highest respect -- is she is a person of the highest integrity and compassion. She is clear, honest, flexible, loves people and wants them to succeed. I have been so lucky to meet and work with amazing people who have all made me better. Leda is a leader among them. Work with her. You will see what I mean.”
