Three years ago, Sberbank launched the next phase of its transformation, with the goal of becoming a technology company with a banking licence. It created its own cloud-based platform, Sber Digital Platform (SDP), to develop, evolve and build on.
“It was a gutsy decision,” says David Rafalovsky, chief technology officer at Sberbank Group and executive vice-president, global head of operations and technology. He joined the Russian bank in March 2018 to be part of “re-engineering the technology organisation to take the bank to the next level”.
