If you know who Evident is, you understand why I was so stoked to interview co-founder / co-CEO Alexandra Mousavizadeh. If you don’t know Evident, let’s fix that.Evident is all about data and benchmarking the embrace of AI across Financial Services. And you know what they say about data driven conversations? They’re super objective aka the best.1: AI doesn’t remove thinking, AI allows you to “think about dimensions you’ve never been able to draw in before”, it raises the floor and ceiling of your work2: Banks leaning hardest into AI are the ones hiring while those avoiding it are doing the opposite3: Moving away from point solutions and “getting to platform” is the race you want to run4: Banks all in on operationalizing AI are “moving at triple, quadruple speed” and we’re “two to three years out” from a tipping point where “growth is exponential”5: CEO and leadership conviction that this is “absolutely existential” and acting on it is consistent across companies leading the packWatch this interview and I guarantee my enthusiasm for Evident will be transferred to you. Not the most “objective” statement but you know, I love data…Want to know which banks are winning with AI, backed by data, not hype?
