Dalibor Hlava, Director, Head of Global Functions and Enterprise Data, GenAI Champion

Developers in Barclays Investment Banking create reliable, robust systems that support millions of trades. I’m proud to be part of a highly skilled team that can meet this challenge. In fact, technology drives everything we do here. Sometimes we say we are more of a technology company than a bank!

Before I came to Barclays, I was a financial risk consultant. I wanted to expand my knowledge and skills, so I was attracted by the opportunity to work on a complex system at Barclays calculating market risk. After three years, I applied to move into then Counterparty Credit Risk area, where I was working as team lead on several calculation engines. Fast-forward a couple of years and I am now running the Head of Global Functions and Enterprise Data in Prague, with about 450 people.

I’m really pleased with the work we’ve done so far. Because Barclays relies on technology to provide services that are so important to millions of people, we value quality over quantity, especially in software design. We never rush-release anything or use temporary hacks. We believe in making every solution the best it can be.
