Headline Partner

Andrew Foster, Chief Data Officer, M&T Bank

I began my banking career in London, UK, specializing in large-scale strategic transformations across people, processes, and platforms. I developed deep expertise through key roles in front-to-back Treasury Platform selection and integration, business intelligence tool selection and implementation, and a relentless emphasis on analytics automation.  

In 2011, I relocated to New York, leading data initiatives as part of a regulatory agenda. Here, I continued to deepen my knowledge, and I am widely recognized as an industry expert, called on for public speaking and thought leadership. I continue to deliver data leadership within complex environments, partnering with C-suite and company leaders in applying my expertise in data and AI to solve critical business challenges.
