Building an Engineering setup for a Financial Service Institution

A series of 5 posts describing the journey to build Product & Engineering for Financial Services

I have been part of building Product & Engineering teams and Digital Transformation setup for almost more than a decade.

My first experience was during the build of MDL (McKinsey Digital Labs) by our leaders: Satty Bhens and Biju Bhaskar - a startup-like setup (for both engineering and business building) inside a large organisation. Both strongly believe in a garage-like setup and gave full support to establish guard-rails in protecting the culture of working as a startup. Together, we built a solid team of 50-70 engineers (today MDL is more than 200 globally) following the hubs-spokes model knitted together with an Engineering Mindset & connected via various communication tools.
