In this episode of Risk & Robots, Jill Sheckman, former Global Chief Risk Officer at PayPal, explains how AI is ending the era of risk as a control function and transforming it into a growth enabler.
Drawing on three decades in financial services, she shares compelling examples of this evolution (such as cash-flow underwriting shifting from manual tagging to real-time assessments).
Jill highlights exciting new opportunities for risk to support revenue growth, explaining how always-on analytics and hyper-personalized banking products will help institutions expand offerings while managing risk. Critically, she lays out the concrete steps that risk leaders must take to capitalize on this moment, from streamlining data infrastructure to up-skilling teams.
