MS Solutions Group‘s Regional Director for East and Southern Africa joins senior banking leaders in Nairobi to tackle one of the region’s most pressing infrastructure challenges.
On 7 May, Doug Ballantyne will be at the Hyatt Regency Westlands in Nairobi as a featured roundtable speaker at the 10DX Summit Kenya, an invitation-only gathering of CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, and Heads of Digital from Kenya’s leading banks and financial institutions.
Doug will be joining the opening session: “The Legacy Bottleneck: When the Core Cannot Keep Pace“ a conversation that cuts to the heart of something he has watched play out across 26 countries.
The core question on the table: How do Kenyan banks modernise legacy infrastructure, without disrupting operations that cannot go down?
It’s not just a technology problem. It’s a risk challenge: operational, regulatory, and increasingly strategic. In a market where customers expect real-time, always-on banking, the gap between legacy core capability and modern processing demands is widening. Settlement breaks, incomplete audit trails, and knowledge concentrated in a handful of individuals represent risks that can no longer be deferred.
Seasoned in large-scale payments across Africa, Doug brings a practitioner’s perspective to these conversations, along with real insight from deployments across the region and a clear view of which modernisation models are actually working in-market today.
