Recently, I was speaking with a friend in a large bank, and I ended up writing him a letter recommending some talks that I thought would be useful.
Below I list each of them, along with why I think they’d be of interest.
Andrea Hausmann, Head of Program Strategy & Engagement, Credit SuisseDuncan Lawie, Director, DevOps and Development Practices, Credit Suisse
I think this is a super interesting talk, because they’re a centralized group that owns technical platforms and communities of practice. There’s a fantastic testimonial for one of the CIOs of their businesses, and they also describe their funding model.
Levi Geinert, SVP, and Head of Agile Technology Experience, U.S. BankWerner Loots, EVP, Direct Consumer Lending, U.S. Bank
How they created “studios” inside of U.S. Bank designed to have all the capabilities needed to deliver value to customers. They currently have over 50 studios, and they describe an amazing success story around small business lending, able to go from “apply for loan” to “funds deposited in their account” within hours (sometimes in less than 15 minutes).
Werner Loots and Ian Eslick gave a followup presentation at Las Vegas – Virtual 2020.
Ian Eslick, SVP, Chief Architect for Digital Technology Strategy & Modernization, U.S. BankWerner Loots, EVP, Direct Consumer Lending, U.S. Bank
Ian Eslick reports to the CIO, and came from Amazon. They describe the amazing outcomes they were able to generate in response to the US PPP (Payment Protection Program), delivering the needed capabilities within one week of first learning about it despite dependencies on mainframes and enterprise service buses that hadn’t been touched in a decade. It was such an important program that they had daily calls with vice-chairs.
I think two amazing outcomes came out of it:
Victoria Mayo, Head of Compliance- iptiQ EMEA P&C, Swiss ReJames Head, Founder, Rebellion Consulting
This is the amazing story of how the iptiQ digital insurance products were spun out of Swiss Re engineering, with a current valuation of $1B+. Neat story!
And then talks from my mentor, Dr. Steven Spear, on structure and dynamics.

I think these are startling presentations that describe why organizations behave the way they do, both in the ideal, and in reality. And it describes why and how DevOps really works.
Two presentations from David Silverman, co-author of “Team of Teams” — the second presentation is with his colleague, Jessica Reif.
[7] London – Virtual 2020[8] Las Vegas – Virtual 2020
I think these talks from a military context will resonate with almost everyone in the DevOps community.
