About Jay Arbabha
Jay Arbabha is IBM CTO for Financial Services at IBM. Location: Denver, Colorado, United States.
As an executive-level business and IT leader for more than two decades, I have been entrusted throughout my career to solve business puzzles, to envision solutions that others do not see, to find a thread to walk through in what appears to be complex roadblocks. With a focus on the development of people, best practices, technology and governance, I have been able to set the foundation for success and drive progression through a variety of business scenarios. I’m an open-minded leader who welcomes and encourages a high level of team interaction among colleagues. I believe perfection gets in the way of progress and I strive to create an environment for open communication and idea sharing of all kinds. One of my strengths as a leader is listening intently to my teams and my clients to understand pain points, identify breakdowns, leverage capabilities, and hone in on the best solutions for business turnaround and ongoing development. I can weed through “ok” ideas to create the “great” ones. I can simplify complex details into comprehensive and audience-relevant information. And I can turn negative business mentality into solutions-focused, strategy-driven messaging. I enjoy applying my technology expertise, experience and innovative thinking to make a meaningful difference by designing and building solutions for businesses most difficult challenges
