Megan Caywood Cooper stands at the forefront of the AI financial services revolution, uniquely positioned as both a successful fintech founder and a corporate transformation leader driving change from within established banking. As Founder and CEO of Caywood, the groundbreaking AI-driven WealthTech platform launched in 2024, Megan is democratising access to personalised financial guidance for everyday consumers. Her startup leverages generative AI to create “financial autopilots” that help people save, invest, manage debt, and optimise taxes – bringing sophisticated wealth management to the masses rather than just high-net-worth individuals. Her remarkable career journey began in Silicon Valley at Intuit before she was awarded an Exceptional Talent Visa in 2016 to move from San Francisco to London to help launch Starling Bank as Chief Platform Officer. There, she designed and rolled out the revolutionary Starling Marketplace and became the “second face” of the challenger bank. Her work earned her recognition on the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2018.
