Since its inception, BCI has grown into a globally influential financial institution with a diverse, international portfolio. The organization is known for its active, in-house asset management and sophisticated investment strategies, navigating an increasingly complex global market.

In recent years, BCI has invested heavily in modernizing its technology operations. The integration of advanced enterprise tools, leading analytics capabilities, and a fast-paced, business-focused technology organization has laid a strong foundation for growth. These efforts have improved operational stability—reducing critical system interruptions from 55 to zero—and have fostered a desire for further technological innovation throughout the business. With this solid base, BCI is now entering the next phase of its technology strategy, which will focus on driving operational excellence, fortifying cybersecurity, and scaling transformative emerging technologies.

In this capacity, the Senior Director will act as a technology futurist, researching and prioritizing emerging technologies that will deliver long-term value for BCI.
