About Jamil Farshchi

I’ve spent my career proving that technology done right is the ultimate force‑multiplier for growth, innovation, and trust. From leading Equifax’s end‑to‑end cloud transformation (90% of revenue now flows through our next‑gen data fabric) to pioneering one of the world’s first enterprise‑wide passwordless deployments (shutting down the #1 breach vector), I’ve helped turned bold ideas into measurable impact:$90 M in annual savings, releasing over 100+ new products in ’24, record‑breaking stability, infusing AI everywhere, and a step‑function jump in customer confidence. Today, as Chief Technology Officer, I focus on: • AI & Automation: Embedding generative AI at every layer of the stack to cut cycle times, sharpen fraud detection, and deliver 1:1 experiences, securely. • Data & Analytics: Turning billions of data points into predictive insight, because the smallest details have the biggest consequences. • Trust by Design: Making security, privacy, and resilience visible features that differentiate products and businesses, not drag them down. • Strategy & Governance: Serving board leader at UKG and as a Strategic Advisor to the FBI, shaping strategy and policy that position us all to win. • People‑Powered Innovation: Building high‑velocity, low‑friction cultures where every hire is accretive and transformation equals reinvention.*How I Lead* I grew up in rural Iowa, putting together my first computer with hand‑me‑down parts, and then taught myself to code. I’ve never lost that builder’s mindset. My philosophy is simple: Say it, then do it. Credibility compounds. • Out‑work and out‑learn. Discipline beats headlines. • Make everyone around you better. Leadership is a force multiplier. • Deal with the world as it is, then improve it. Pragmatic optimism wins. • Enjoy the ride.*What I Share Here* Expect plain‑spoken insights on AI adoption & innovation, cloud strategy, data products, cybersecurity, digital transformation, and authentic leadership. If you’re building technology that has to scale, secure itself, and make it easy for users, I’m happy to compare notes. Let’s connect if you’re curious about turning legacy complexity into innovation velocity, or if you simply enjoy candid conversations about where AI, cloud, and trust intersect.
