Ex-Barclays CEO Antony Jenkins Wants to Disrupt the Dinosaurs
Antony Jenkins is building technology he wanted when he ran Barclays. The former chief executive served at the big bank for three very turbulent years, spending a lot of time wondering why there wasn’t a better way to automate its operations. When he left, he decided to find a way to do just that for everyone else. On this week’s In the City, Jenkins joins hosts Francine Lacqua and David Merritt to share his story of starting 10x Banking Technology, a key player in London’s growing fintech scene. He launched the company in 2016 with £1 million of his own money. The company’s name reflects its mission, he said: develop new technology that can make banking 10 times better than what it is. It was most recently valued at about £600 million.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
