A  trusted analytics partner to the world’s most recognized brands, LatentView Analytics has announced that Raymond Tuckler joined the firm as Growth Leader for the Banking and Financial Services vertical in the United States market. The addition of Tuckler is part of LatentView’s ongoing investment in its analytics, technology, and core business expertise for banking, financial services and insurance companies.

Tuckler brings more than 20 years of experience in sales, growth and business development to LatentView as a former financial advisor at Citibank and JPMorgan Chase, as well as from his tenure at a variety of innovative fintech startups such as OnDeck Capital. He has deep expertise in helping financial services companies scale with AI and predictive analytics solutions while also enhancing their legacy systems.

“The financial services industry is in the midst of exponential change with the continued rise of fintechs and the modernization of core IT processes at legacy banks,” said Director of Growth at LatentView Analytics, Shiraz Ritwik. “Raymond comes to LatentView with a winning combination of leadership and growth experience at both large banks and small fintechs. His understanding of the challenges that face the entire BFSI ecosystem will be invaluable as we grow our US client portfolio.”

Prior to joining LatentView, Tuckler spent the past 12 years helping to scale a variety of fintech SaaS companies. Most recently he was Director of Business Development at Kapitalwise, Inc. Previously, he held senior sales and business development positions at Eponea, Biz2X and OnDeck Capital.

“Both the largest banks and smallest fintechs have a lot of challenges and opportunities to navigate and seize in the near future. Some of this disruption will be driven by competition and some by partnerships and acquisitions,” said Raymond Tuckler. “The common thread will be a need for digital analytics and data engineering as the basis for insights and innovation. I am eager to apply my background and experience to drive mutual growth for LatentView and BFSI clients in the North American market.”
