Choose the right perspective
Match on bank size and region first: the list runs from regional US banks to global groups in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. For a question about one business line, look at people who were CIO for specific units, such as ABN AMRO's personal banking and wealth units or TD's cards and insurance businesses; for enterprise-wide architecture, infrastructure or security questions, favor group-level CIOs and those who came up as CTOs.
