Raidiam, a leading expert in data sharing technologies, has appointed former Forrester analyst Jacob Morgan to the role of Open Data Strategist.
Over the past 25 years, Jacob has focused on some of the most important developments in the financial services sector and formerly led Forrester’s research on open finance, collaborative business models, the future of payments, and future of banking. Before becoming an analyst, Jacob spent several years at Capital One (UK) managing IT architect and business systems analyst teams, helping to deliver the architecture for contactless payments.
In his new role at Raidiam, Jacob will help governments, regulators, and enterprises understand their open and smart data strategies, and advise them on securing trust while delivering transformative change for their ecosystems.
He said: “We are at an inflexion point in our ability to share data responsibly, ethnically, and securely – between citizens, businesses, industries, governments, and countries – unlocking all sorts of collaborative business models and communities.
“Raidiam is unique in having built the trust platforms and networks that power solutions like open finance in several countries including Brazil and the UK, and is well positioned to make this collaborative future a reality.”
Barry O’Donohoe, Raidiam co-founder and CEO, said: “Our ultimate goal is to enable everyone to safely and securely unlock the benefit and value stored in their previously inaccessible data. Jacob has an incredible passion for data strategy, and his expertise will help our clients and their customers to unlock endless possibilities through the value of their data.”
Raidiam specialises in creating the world’s smartest data sharing ecosystems. The company helped deliver the first-ever Open Banking system in the UK and has designed, developed and delivered ground-breaking data sharing ecosystems globally. Not only does Raidiam underpin the exchange of data and payments between every fintech, across every bank, for every consumer and business every day in all fully functional national Open Finance ecosystems; but by creating this central market infrastructure, they have enabled other UK fintechs to export their services globally.
