Since the financial crisis, global wholesale financial services has changed dramatically and continues to evolve as institutions have had to adapt business models and continue to shift their market proposition. Regulation, innovation and cost transformation all feature highly as key issues requiring leaders who can succeed in the shifting market landscape. With the increased regulation put upon investment banks, coupled with the electronification of markets, the talent landscape of banks has changed significantly and continues to evolve. As institutions look to markets with more sustainable revenue that are less capital intensive, corporate and transaction banking services has seen substantial growth.

With the introduction of new innovations and technologies to the market, such as; AI, blockchain, data science and quantum computing, we can expect the talent landscape to shift even further as manual processes are automated and AI and data science increasingly drive decision making across all functions of institutions.
