“I don’t expect the head of derivatives trading to understand the detail of grid computing – I expect him to look at the difference it can make to his business and for him to trust me that I can make this happen,” says Vlad Torgovnik, CIO of capital markets at Bank of America.
Mr Torgovnik has been voted CIO of the Year 2006 by his peers, the CIOs of the global investment banking community, as part of The Banker’s Investment Bank of the Year Awards, and part of the reason is this emphasis on trust.
