The FINOS team is delighted to welcome Nureen D’Souza, Director, Open Source Program Office, Capital One to the FINOS Governing Board, following her election as the 4th Gold representative.
Nureen D’Souza has been with the company for seven years, transforming software delivery ecosystems, harnessing the power of technology to solve business challenges, and influencing DevSecOps and supply chain strategy for the organization. She has helped establish enterprise software communities, launched new product initiatives, and developed collaborative processes with internal as well as external stakeholders.
In her role of leading Capital One’s Open Source Program Office, she strives to make a positive impact on the community through structured adoption, upstream contribution, and the release of projects.
During the last few years, Nureen has provided thought leadership on a variety of topics within the open source space, including presentations at All Things Open about the “Culture of Collaboration at Capital One.” She also authored a bylined article for The New Stack, “Operationalizing the Enterprise Developer.” Her passion for collaboration and community building is also evident through her involvement as a member of the cdCon 2022 Program Committee and Continuous Delivery Foundation Outreach Committee.
In 2020 and 2021 Capital One worked closely with the FINOS team to help launch the InnerSource Special Interest Group (SIG). The group works to establish best practices for the application of open source software development practices to internal software development projects. It's a significant way for companies to increase collaboration within their organization, and for developers to gain skills that will make them effective participants in open source projects.
“We are pleased to bring strong leadership from our gold member, Capital One and we continue to add skilled leaders who put collaboration first”, said Gabriele Columbro, executive director of FINOS. “I am also very excited to continue welcoming diverse voices, from an individual and corporate perspective, to our governing board continuing our process of delivering value to all industry constituents and individual contributors”
Our governing board brings together an array of executives and senior technologists from several of the world's largest banks, financial technology providers and big tech software vendors. Its mission is to establish the direction of the Foundation in its ongoing efforts to tackle the hardest challenges facing the financial services industry.
