I know I will read this again. And again. I need it as a reminder in the work ahead.... -Trygve Aasheim, Lead Architect, Technology and Digital Channels, Corporate Banking, DNB Bankers Like Us is about love and innovation at the Fintech Frontier of an inhospitable industry: banking.-Ronit Ghose, Future of Finance Head, Citibank N.A. An insightful read, based on lessons learned over a long career driving change in and outside the banking industry. Leda dives deep into the plumbing - systems, processes and culture - in large organisations, uncovering legacy tech and legacy mindsets with humour and humanity. These are real-world problems with real-world solutions from an expert in digital transformation. -Joy Macknight, Editor, The Banker In banking, we are in that rare moment of time where worlds are colliding. As Leda writes The challenge is that up until now, the industry has evolved. Now it has to transform. As a long-time banker and newly-minted digital transformation leader, I know too well that years of 'existing' in banking created strong muscle memory that now thrashes against the pace of change. It pulls us back to what feels familiar and comfortable. This opportunity for transformation isn't about new ways of doing the old things, but more about completely new models of how serve the customer, and how we do so with completely new profit schemes. This book will resonate with anyone no matter where you reside on this journey, whether newbie or old guard. If you want to be part of this change, you need to understand all about the messy middle that Leda so expertly describes in this book. If you read this book and it doesn't resonate, then I suggest you think about stepping aside. As Leda explains, this change will need all sorts of talent and skills all the way down to the friends in low places, but the one big thing to remember is this transformation is coming and won't care if you don't buy in. -Curt Queyrouze, President, CCBX, A Division of Coastal Community Bank With personal and professional experiences beautifully weaved throughout, the book shares - in the most relatable way - that you don't need to compromise your principles to achieve business results, and that you don't need to sacrifice business aspirations to be a decent human being. Leda's narrative exquisitely captures so many of the industry's ideas and its participants' contemplations. -Tanya Andreasyan, Editor-in-Chief, FinTech Futures
