About

I turn possibility into operating reality.

For more than 20 years, I have worked where business ambition, technology and complex execution meet — across Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Truist.

Gina Schudi

I have never been very good at leaving possibility alone.

Show me a business, a technology, a process or an idea with untapped potential and my mind starts working: What could this become? That question has followed me through payments, commercial banking, credit, regulatory transformation, automation and enterprise AI.

I am drawn to inflection points — the moment something moves from interesting to consequential, when the old model is no longer enough and the new one has not been fully designed. I enjoy strategy, but I have never been satisfied stopping there. Eventually, I want to know what changes Monday morning.

My work is about closing the distance between what is possible and what is real: aligning leaders around value, designing the operating model, connecting business and technology, preparing people to work differently, and measuring whether the investment mattered.

AI has made that work more urgent. I believe it should amplify human capability, not simply automate tasks. Inside a regulated institution, that means pairing ambition with judgment, governance and the operational discipline required to build trust at scale.
