04 / Zubair’s Perspective
Portrait of Zubair Ahmed

Zubair Ahmed

FSI Thought Leader & Board Advisor

Core banking programs are the most complex things financial institutions do. The margin for bad advice is zero.

I've advised on core banking programs across multiple countries. The failure patterns are consistent: scope drift, vendor dependency, and a board that doesn't understand what it signed up for. We help institutions go in clear-eyed — realistic about cost, honest about risk, and structured to make decisions at pace.
