On this episode of the podcast, Grizz sits down with two former US financial regulators, Sultan Meghji (former FDIC Chief Innovation Officer) and Jennifer Lassiter (founding member of the Innovation Lab at the FDIC), to discuss the regulator perspective on open source in financial services. There are ups and downs, twists and turns, and we also discuss the value of using open source as a tool to attract and retain talent both in financial services, and for financial regulators as well.

As Executive Director of The Digital Dollar Project (DDP), Jennifer convenes private sector thought leaders to explore the future of money and advance the exploration of a U.S. central bank digital currency. Prior to joining DDP, Jennifer served as a founding member of the Innovation Lab at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and was a senior leader in the Innovation and Technology Offices at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. During her career as a civil servant, Jennifer stood up the first U.S. financial regulator Tech Sprint Program; elevated the use of data science and analytics to executive levels; and built and scaled an award-winning design-centric technology team that changed how technology and data shaped federal regulation. This included leading teams that collaborated with the United States Digital Service to create the first iteration of the U.S. Web Design System and participated in the drafting of the first U.S. Federal Source Code policy.
