SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (March 31, 2025) – Paradigm proudly announces the strategic appointment of Peter Ku as SVP & Global Head of Industries. A respected voice in financial services data strategy, Ku joins Paradigm at a pivotal moment of growth as the company deepens its footprint in the industry and accelerates its momentum as a trusted partner in enterprise data, AI, and business transformation.
With nearly three decades of experience – and more than 17 years at Informatica, a leader in enterprise AI-powered cloud data management – Ku is a recognized industry authority in data governance, master data management, and AI for business. As Global VP and Chief Industry Strategist for Banking and Financial Services at Informatica, he led global strategy and solutions for some of the world’s most prominent financial institutions, making their data “fit for business use”.
“As a long-time Paradigm partner while at Informatica, I am extremely excited to now be on this amazing team to help accelerate the adoption and realization of measurable business value for companies investing in AI, data, cloud, and digital across financial services and beyond,” says Peter Ku. “I have worked with many consulting organizations – large and small – throughout my career, and Paradigm has always stood out. They bring some of the most experienced, smartest, and committed professionals to guide clients through their journey from design to business value justification, implementation, adoption, and expansion. I can’t wait to engage with our partners and customers and be a part of their success alongside the Paradigm team!”
At Paradigm, Ku will lead the development and execution of next-generation data strategies for the financial services industry and help deepen Paradigm’s strategic alignment with Informatica – leveraging his expertise to deliver even greater value for clients.
Ku’s appointment marks a pivotal moment in Paradigm’s growth. Following the recent addition of Jeremy Stierwalt as Chief Data & AI Officer, Paradigm is expanding its powerhouse leadership team to meet the rising demand for business centric, AI-ready, enterprise-grade data management. Together, Ku and Stierwalt bring a rare combination of strategic vision, industry credibility, and hands-on expertise that will accelerate innovation and deliver measurable value to clients, particularly in the financial services sector, where both have deep roots.
“I am delighted to welcome Peter to our leadership team as we continue to grow our world-class strategy, data, and AI capabilities. His expertise in financial services and extensive experience across the technology ecosystem is pivotal to driving the growth of our partnerships and enhancing the value we deliver to our clients. Peter’s appointment underscores our commitment to aligning AI initiatives with business objectives and fostering a data-driven culture that empowers our clients to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape,” says Jeremy Stierwalt, Chief Data & AI Officer of Paradigm.
“Peter Ku brings an incredible level of depth and authority to Paradigm’s data and AI practice,” says Craig Rock, President & CEO of Paradigm. “His reputation in the industry is second to none, and when combined with Jeremy’s delivery leadership, we’re entering a new era of growth and client impact.
