THE CONSULTANT

Consulting Services

Rich Turrin is an award-winning, dynamic fintech expert with over 20 years of experience in leveraging new technology to drive revenue growth in banking.

Innovation Lab Audit from the ground up

Considering starting an innovation lab or concerned about your lab’s performance?

Rich is the author of Innovation Lab Excellence and gives it to you straight: Innovation labs are the key to promoting digital adoption. That said, he is not a proponent of over-hyped claims and knows that some labs substitute showmanship for implementable innovation.

Rich works with your stakeholders to define a reasonable set of goals and objectives for your lab to set it on a path to success or get it back on track. He knows where labs can go wrong and can help design your team’s composition and benchmarks to ensure you reach your objectives and achieve true digital transformation from within.

China’s Digital Yuan

Learn how China’s game-changing central bank digital currency (CBDC) affects your business and how you can profit from China’s RMB going digital. Trading companies are already being asked by state-owned enterprises to take digital RMB payments for goods and services within the next year. China’s central bank digital currency (CBDC) will be a game-changer both in domestic and international markets. Learn how the digital yuan or e-CNY will change the rules of payment and international trade.

Make no mistake about it. If you do business in or with China, you’ll need to have a policy for using the new CBDC in your business. It won’t be just about accepting or using CBDC for payment. You’ll need to be on the look-out for the emerging CBDC-based ecosystem that includes trade platforms that can speed customs and smooth imports and exports.

CBDC Workshops

Customized CBDC workshops help small groups of executive staff better understand critical concepts behind central bank digital currencies and how they will change not just how we pay but what money can do. This custom-designed program will focus on your company’s unique needs through the latest examples of how China is using the digital yuan today. 

The workshop will cover CBDC design considerations, comparisons with the digital euro and dollar projects, why CBDC won’t “break the banks,” and geopolitical concerns. China’s digital yuan shares 90% of its DNA with its Western counterparts and is a blueprint for their development and usage. China’s CBDC and cashless payments are like a crystal ball showing the West its digital payment future.

China Fintech

There is a good chance that a Chinese firm already has a solution to that new Fintech idea you’ve been considering. It’s likely already tested, proven at scale, and at work with real clients.

Development in China, where Rich Turrin is based, is booming, Large-scale teams can customize solutions to your needs at a moment’s notice. This is why there is a constant stream of investors heading to China to check out tomorrow’s fintech solutions, and increasing numbers of Chinese-based Fintech companies trying to connect with foreign buyers.

Corporate Boards

Rich brings the experiences of a lifetime in international finance and over a decade in China’s tech scene to selected corporate boards.

Candidates companies are usually late-stage Chinese start-ups with global aspirations looking for board members that can build bridges abroad.

In addition, foreign companies looking to expand in China through a local foreign-owned entity are also good candidates.

I had the pleasure of presenting with Rich at client and industry events and saw him in front of audiences many times. On every occasion, Rich showed his expertise in fintech and AI not just as a subject matter expert, but a real practitioner. He engages his audience and overcomes their uncertainty about technology by giving practical, realistic and pragmatic insights to ensure they understand how it works and how to use it. The event circuit has become an industry in itself and it is often difficult to separate the self promoters from the experienced practitioners. Rich is the latter, who puts his audience first and delivers real insights every time. Attending Rich’s presentations is always time well spent, very few speakers are so relevant or authoritative

Richard is engaging, candid, insightful and authoritative, especially in the fields of cognitive tech and AI where he and I have worked most closely with a wide variety of Asian financial institutions. In a world where everyone seems to think they are an expert, he is a genuine thought leader, and one with that even rarer and more valuable quality – that of personal integrity.
