Allyn L. Shaw leads business execution, performance, and risk for Technology, Data & Operations at Truist — a division of roughly 23,000 technologists and operators serving one of the largest banks in the United States. His mandate spans technology execution, performance management, risk, and transformation, including the responsible adoption of generative and agentic AI inside a regulated banking environment.
His career spans more than three decades at the intersection of technology, operations, and risk: chief operating roles across Bank of America and Wells Fargo, a turn as President and CTO of a climate-technology company, and early engineering years building real-time networks at NTT and Sprint. The through-line is the business of technology — making large institutions execute with the discipline regulators demand and the imagination customers expect.
Beyond banking, Allyn serves as a speaker for the U.S. Department of State, engaging global audiences on cybersecurity, technology governance, and inclusive economies. He holds a U.S. patent in advanced computing and chairs the board of Out & Equal, the world’s largest organization dedicated to LGBTQ+ workplace equality.
Technology is a force for good when the people building it reflect the world it serves. That conviction has shaped every role he’s held — and every one still ahead.
