M. David Allen

Richmond, Virginia Area United States

Head of Technology at Etops AG

Finance / Banking / Insurance

I began my career as a developer and architect creating new methods of extracting data from unstructured information. I later became involved in all things related to large-scale data architecture and information sharing between organizations. I have a strong research & development background, and a track record of managing projects that create innovation and then transfer new technologies to clients. These days, I am building new things in the FinTech area; stay tuned for more. I co-wrote "XML in Data Management" (Morgan Kaufmann) with Peter Aiken, and I still occasionally give talks to DAMA audiences and conferences.
