Capco, the global technology and management consultancy, has appointed Alex Ross-Wilson as a new partner with responsibility for the company’s UK banking practice, based in London.
Ross-Wilson brings experience in core banking and credit services with him to the role. During his career, he has played a role in shaping and successful implementation of complex delivery programmes and establishing multi-year application outsource deals.
He joins Capco from HSBC, where he was a senior strategic change director in group transformation.
Prior to HSBC, he spent 20 years at Accenture, predominantly aligned to the financial services operating group.
This included a decade as a managing director within Accenture’s technology consulting business, during which time he led the Accenture UK & Ireland Financial Services Liquid Delivery capability.
Mike Ethelston, Capco UK managing partner, says: “Alex’ Ross-Wilson’s appointment underlines Capco’s commitment to playing a central role in driving change and innovation in the UK banking sector and to ensuring UK banks can continue to offer attractive products and engaging customer experiences over the coming decade.”
Ross-Wilson comments: “I am looking forward to growing Capco’s core banking and lending capabilities to complement our existing strengths around payments. The UK banking sector is under tremendous pressure to deliver greater digitisation and innovation, while at the same time dealing with reduced income from their traditional services.”
“This presents a great opportunity to bring real value to our clients through a strong customer and product led approach that draws upon Capco’s deep capabilities in digital, data and engineering,” he adds.
