As banks and practitioners re-evaluate their strategies, they have to redefine their organisations, technologies, operations, and customer relationships to ensure the sustainability of their businesses. Leaders have to step up to inspire and achieve the necessary transformational changes that will see their institutions and the industry make the leap forward.

The selection of leading practitioners in this category recognises leading practitioners who are shaping the business on the regional and global fronts, and whose work or influence are relevant to the Asia Pacific and other regions. The Asian Banker identifies, recognises, and tracks these practitioners on an ongoing basis through its List of Leading Practitioners (LLP) programme.
