Oksana Sivokobilska

Independent director · governance, digital transformation and AI

Twenty-five years inside the regulated institution, where judgment is governed under a supervisor's eye. Most boards choose between a banker who cannot read a technology architecture decision and a technologist who has never carried a P&L; she is the uncommon case of both in one seat.

The record

Background

Oksana Sivokobilska has spent her career inside the regulated institution — the place where judgment is not only exercised but governed, under a supervisor's eye.

For more than twenty-five years she has sat on both sides of the decision. As a banking Management Board member she carried the P&L for retail, SME and technology, built digital businesses that led their markets, and modernised the core systems underneath them. As an independent non-executive director she has overseen risk, cybersecurity and the readiness of institutions to meet international investors' standards, and chaired a nomination and remuneration committee — across listed banks and financial institutions in European and emerging markets.

She sits on the board of Latvia's national artificial-intelligence association, which she led, working on how institutions adopt AI without surrendering the judgment they remain accountable for.

That double vantage — inside the regulated institution, and at the frontier of AI — is the seat from which she writes.

Selected work

  • Board and Management Board mandates in listed banks and financial institutions across European and emerging markets — retail and SME businesses built to market leadership, and the core technology beneath them modernised.
  • Governance transformations under a supervisor's eye: privatisation readiness and disclosure to international-investor standards, and financial-crime controls raised to meet the expectations of US and European regulators.
  • Board-level oversight of digital, cyber and model risk — including the strengthening of a bank's cybersecurity and the governance of AI adoption.
  • Chair of a national artificial-intelligence association — shaping how institutions adopt AI without surrendering the judgment they answer for.
