Neal Cross | Digital’s cultural change | VOX Ep. 94

Neal Cross, fintech investor/founder, discusses cultural change in banks and fintechs amid digital upheaval.

Neal Cross is a fintech entrepreneur, investor, and advisor. He spends his time between Australia, Indonesia, and Japan. He served as DBS’s chief innovation officer as the fintech wave hit East Asia. Today he is behind a wealthtech, PictureWealth; a Philippines-focused micro fintech, Peppermint Innovation; and advises StarHub, the Singapore-based telecoms company.

Neal spoke with DigFin ‘s Jame DiBiasio about how the concept of cultural change amid digital upheaval has changed. Since his time at DBS, Ai in particular has become used ubiquitously. Today, generative AI is leading even more profound changes: in finance, in fintech, and in most aspects of society.

Neal discusses how change-management has evolved, notably among banks; the ideas behind his various fintech endeavors; and big questions posed by AI. He concludes with a deeper, more philosophical concern about genAI’s impact and how CEOs might reframe these issues.
