Bio
Vince Cara
I'm delighted that Ben has been assigned to the Digital programme. I've worked with Ben for around 5 years now and he's frankly one of the best Technical Architects that I know. Ben is passionate and professional with a huge wealth of knowledge and experience. Although he's now been in the Bank for around 9 months, he's already viewed by senior stakeholders and his peers as a key "go to" resource for a huge range of subjects. Ben constantly goes above and beyond, working unpaid evenings and weekends to ensure the best possible outcomes for the Bank. He's recently been key in the Transformation Networking and Security work steams whilst at the same time being one of the lead architects on shaping the Digital vision of the Bank. Both of these key programmes to the Bank would have struggled without Ben's input.
