Riko loves to champion the power of interoperability – making systems "speak the same language" – to help support the vision of digital transformation. As he recently explained in a talk at FinJS, he enjoys bringing the dream of interoperability to life in client engagements by creating user workflows that flow seamlessly between multiple disparate applications. His desktop strategy enables financial institutions to create interoperable systems from existing technology, improve customer experience, increase cross selling, and deliver more meaningful data to support process improvement.

He has worked across multiple working groups and recently joined the FDC3 Program Management Committee (PMC). In his spare time he loves to teach and play modern board games, which is really just another excuse to get everyone together around a table!
