Headline Partner

Rebecca Fitzgerald, Director of Architecture, Data and AI, Yorkshire Building Society

As Director of Architecture, I focus on shaping our future through IT, data, and AI strategies, and implementing our target architecture. My mandate covers strategy, architecture and design, business partnerships, self-serve data coaching, and data and AI governance, risk, and control.  

With over a decade of experience in technology, data, and change delivery, plus my prior compliance, risk, and analytics background, I am to empower better decisions through optimised data and services. I focus on people and culture, maintaining an extensive network across industries and communities, and mentoring individuals from early careers to senior leaders, promoting women in tech and leadership. I support various groups, amplifying minority voices and diverse characteristics. 

As Non-Executive Director of the West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, I drive positive community impacts and infrastructure improvements. As Vice President for Bradford, I engage with local businesses and leaders, also using my advocacy for skills to drive investments.
