Sydney Enterprise Tech Meetup

In the wake of the Royal Banking Commission, the regtech space has become one to watch. So how do you drive innovation within a regulated environment? What role can technology play to drive better customer outcomes? 
To help us understand how corporates are thinking about this challenge, we have two amazing panelists: 
 
Elliot Cousins, Executive Manager, Partnerships @ CBA Business Banking
Elliot firmly believes that collaboration beats competition hands down, and that those who will excel in business over the coming years will be the ones who are able to collaborate better their rivals. Starting his career in investment banking, Elliot has held executive, board and advisory roles across banking, fintech and consulting, and currently heads up Partnerships for CBA’s business and private division.
An active contributor to, and ambassador for the thriving Sydney startup scene, he is a passionate advocate of the importance of corporate venturing and strategic partnerships between corporates and startups. Elliot is especially focused on digital disruption within global financial services, and how collaboration between incumbents and startups is vital to reshape tired business models and push customer experience to new levels. 
Dan Canham, Head of Accelerator, Technology &amp; Innovation @ TAL

TAL’s flagship accelerator program brings cross functional teams together to fast-track ideas to market using Human Centred Design, Agile Delivery and extensive testing with customers through TAL’s experience lab. Dan is also a part-time Instructor at General Assembly. Prior to joining TAL, Dan was Head of Brand at Samsung Electronics Australia and worked with the Beanstalk Factory – an innovation consultancy firm that helps large organisations innovate.
