Vishal Gupta

Technology Executive, FinTech, and Risk Innovation Leader in New York

👤Vishal Gupta, FRM - “Architecting the future of FinTech through AI and innovation”

I’m a technology executive with over 15 years of experience leading high-impact teams at the intersection of finance, engineering, and innovation. As Executive Director and Head of Equity Derivatives Technology at a global investment bank, I architect and scale front-office trading platforms and real-time risk systems that power billions in daily transactions.

My work bridges deep technical expertise with strategic vision — from deploying AI in capital markets to driving digital transformation across global teams. I’ve led initiatives that modernize legacy infrastructure, reduce risk exposure, and unlock new revenue streams through data-driven decision-making.

Beyond the trading floor, I’m passionate about shaping the future of finance and technology through academic collaboration. I actively contribute to university programs as a guest lecturer, mentor, and research partner, and I’ve completed executive education at MIT Sloan in AI, digital strategy, and innovation leadership.

Whether you’re building the next generation of financial systems, exploring AI in risk analytics, or seeking thought partnership on digital transformation, I’d love to connect.
