Bio
Stephen Rogers
I have had the pleasure to work with Cormac over the years at the IBM Institute for Business Value as a colleague and at the IBM Center for Applied Insights as his boss. Cormac is extremely diligent with deep expertise in the intersection of banking and technology. I have been impressed by his breadth of knowledge and business acumen combined with the ability to translate business requirements into a technical environment. It's a rare individual who can speak fluidly to the SVP of a banking operation in one minute and do so equally well with the bank's CIO the next. He is professional in his approach to his work as well as his client interactions. Drawing on his subject matter expertise, he brings gravitas and comes across well and sincerely in client meetings. At conferences, he presents well from the podium or the panel. Crafting good thought leadership means an individual has to be both strategic in their perspective but also pragmatic in their approach. Cormac is both. He is a clean thinker and attacks his research with focus. He can also link his findings and apply lessons in compelling ways to his (banking) industry knowledge and then to individual client situations. With years of experience in the Banking industry, Cormac has extensive contacts both internally and externally.

I had the opportunity to work with Cormac on a white paper outlining the value of transforming core banking systems. The project also included an on-line tool that could be used to simulate the savings and benefits banks could realize. I was impressed by Cormac's expertise, dedication, professionalisme and willingness to share his extensive knowledge about the topic. The team consisted of 3 people and Cormac established an high performing atmosphere were ideas were shared freely while tight deadlines were met. Cormac Petit's professionalism, positive attitude and very deep industry expertise make him a candidate worthy of your most thorough consideration.
