ABOUT HELEN JOHNSON

I help financial services leaders navigate the intersection of AI, data governance, compliance, and technology modernization.With 30+ years as a CTO, CDO, and technology strategist for firms like FactSet, Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, RBS, AIG, and COMPLY, I now work with boards, C-suites, and innovation teams as an advisor, fractional executive, and speaker. My focus is on translating emerging technologies into tangible business outcomes — without losing sight of regulatory, ethical, and operational realities.What I do: • Advise boards and C-suites on leveraging AI, data, and emerging technologies to drive transformation, operational efficiency, and compliance confidence. • Guide and/or modernization initiatives that align data governance, cloud strategy, and risk management with long-term business objectives. • Shape technology adoption roadmaps that balance innovation with regulatory and ethical obligations. • Amplify industry dialogue through executive roundtables, panels, and thought leadership, influencing best practices across financial services.Why organizations work with me: • Board-level perspective built on decades of C-suite leadership in global financial institutions, translating complex technology shifts into measurable business outcomes. • Proven ability to balance innovation with regulatory rigor, helping organizations stay competitive while meeting evolving compliance demands. • Track record of delivering transformation at scale — from data modernization to AI adoption — driving operational resilience and sustainable growth. • Recognized industry voice in AI, data ethics, and compliance, shaping executive and industry dialogue through panels, conferences, and thought leadership.If you’re building the future of financial services and want a partner who brings both strategic insight and real-world execution experience — let’s connect.
