Maria Mohan hails from India but has built a global career as an IT business analyst specializing in financial services work. In addition to serving the Indian market, Maria has collaborated with retail banks and wealth management institutions in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. She was first inspired to study finance in university because she was fascinated with emerging technologies. Maria knew she wanted to work in banking early on because she felt that there were many opportunities for positive change. The sector’s transition from traditional, in-person banking to modern applications through apps and other digital platforms supports this idea.

Whether that involves adopting the newest software or rethinking our provider-customer relationship, there are infinite possibilities for banking to improve its value offerings. I am excited to see how banking will develop in the coming years.”
As Maria envisions the future of her career in financial services, she is hoping to observe more areas for improvement and educate bank staff and customers about cutting-edge modern banking practices.
“One thing I am very passionate about regarding banking is the move from in-person to digital,” Maria says. “I want institutions to take advantage of what technology can offer, but I also want banks and their customers to know the risks of these practices, and take proactive steps to manage them.”
