Katherine Coombs’s Summary

I'm currently the Senior Innovation Manager for Lloyds TSB, the UK's largest retail bank, based in London, UK. Responsibilities include idea evaluation, pipeline management, business case development, vendor and analyst relationship management, and internal sales activities.

I have 10 years experience in the design and delivery of technology solutions to address real business issues in large and global organisations. I strongly believe that technology is a means - not an end - and must deliver value to the users and businesses that it supports.

I enjoy networking and being challenged with new information and view points. You can find me all over the web, but I invite you to read my blog at http://banking-on-it.com.
