Founder & CEO, Deepsee
Financial services doesn’t have an AI problem — it has an orchestration problem. Banks
and capital markets firms sit on decades of deep expertise trapped inside fragmented
workflows, siloed applications, and manual processes that were never designed to talk to
each other. That’s what we’re building at DeepSee: the control plane for agentic operations in financial services. We transform complex, manual processes into outcomes — purpose built for the critical workflows where errors carry real consequences — turning fails that linger in post-trade queues into same-day resolutions, compressing loan processing timelines, and giving operations SMEs back the hours they lose to countless manual reconciliation. Not copilots. Not just better models. Production-grade AI orchestration agents that plan, orchestrate, and execute across systems and teams, with secure integration into the platforms firms already run on, continuous evaluation, and human oversight built in from day one. We serve the largest firms in Capital Markets while also delivering outcomes for Regional and Community Banks and recently announced a
strategic investment and expanded partnership with Broadridge Financial Solutions,
initially focused on transforming post- trade operations through AI-powered orchestration — turning traditional inboxes into intelligent, automated workflows for operations teams clearing trillions in daily volume.
Before DeepSee, I spent my career building platforms where scale meets trust — shipping cloud-scale systems supporting millions of users and billions of transactions, co-founding a cybersecurity platform for big data analytics that powered network surveillance across intelligence agencies and the Fortune 500, and contributing to the conversation on privacy and technology through USA Today, CNN, TechCrunch, Fox News, Digital Trends, Evident, and TEDX. The thread through all of it: building the systems that do the hardest work, for the institutions the world depends on.
