Varlam Ebanoidze

I am someone who spent the first half of his professional life at banks’ internal audit, Operational/Cyber Risk and Compliance domains. In the second half of my professional life, I re-invented and developed myself towards a FinTech innovator and change facilitator.

Prior to joining the National Bank of Georgia (NBG) where my focus is a Countrywide FinTech, Open Finance strategy and regulatory design, I held senior positions at banks in Georgia and in Ukraine, and served on the management board of a leading retail bank (Liberty) in Georgia.

I am passionate about the Strategic Transformation of Central Bank to “Fit” the new paradigm of Open Finance.
Master’s degree from London Business School (LBS) specialized in Strategy and Leadership, combined with the domain experience allows me to see and suggest the efficient digitization strategies through industry development lenses.

Most recently, my team and I came up with the concept of “FinTech in Georgia; building on the Middle Corridor Momentum”.
