“We need to constantly adapt our strategy to ensure that we remain relevant and can profitably satisfy the needs of our clients today, and be ready to serve the needs of our clients of the future. As SC Ventures matures and as we increasingly rely on innovation to build our future, it is critical that we reinforce the already strong connections between our businesses, functions and ventures. I am confident this approach will accelerate the ongoing drive towards a healthy client-focused and risk-aware mindset, while reinforcing a culture of innovation and excellence.”
