Jayant P Raman is a partner at Oliver Wyman and the firm's head of AI partnerships for Asia Pacific. He leads Oliver Wyman's relationships with the frontier AI labs, hyperscalers, and partner firms across the region, and shapes how the firm brings these capabilities into clients' businesses across sectors.
His foundation is in Financial Services, where he has spent his career working with many of the largest banks and institutions on strategy, on transforming cost and performance, and on building new businesses. Increasingly, that work centers on bringing AI into the core of how institutions operate. It sits where deep industry experience meets the frontier of what these technologies can do — close enough to strategy to know what matters, close enough to delivery to know what is real.
Every leadership team now knows AI matters. The harder question is where to start, what to ignore, and how to get from a promising pilot to something that genuinely changes how the institution runs. That gap — between intent and impact — is where I spend my time
Jayant holds a post graduate diploma in Management from IIM Ahmedabad and a degree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Mumbai. He is a member of Oliver Wyman's Global Financial Services practice leadership and the firm's Partnership Development Committee.
