Bio

Vijaya is an IT executive with expertise in Finance, including Banking and Mortgage industries. In her current role, she heads Risk/Audit technology delivery at Truist. Her team builds and supports all the technology solutions used by our CRO (Chief Risk Officer) and CAO (Chief Audit Officer) organizations, while also building and supporting technology solutions for parts of the CLO (Chief Legal Officer), COO (Chief Operating Officer) and CTO (Chief Technology Officer) organizations.

Her team supports technology needs for all 3 lines of defense. In her prior role, she served as the head of Mortgage Servicing Technology at Truist. Apart from leading the merger for her teams, one of the key initiatives that she led during that time was the migration of the user experience for Mortgage clients from a vendor based disjoint system to SunTrust's OLB, making a seamless client experience. This was a key reason for the JD Power scores for SunTrust (now Truist) to jump from #10 to #4 that year. She was also the winner for the Software Engineering Leader of the Year Award from WomenTech in 2024.

Kelly Buchanan leads the Technology Delivery teams that support our Wholesale and Enterprise Payments technology. The Wholesale technology teams develop and drive innovative solutions behind the unique needs of high-net-worth B2B Commercial and Institutional clients served by Corporate & Investment Banking, Wealth Management and Lending & Enablement lines of business. The Enterprise Payments technology teams are at the center of money movement for Truist. They are focused on delivering a unified enterprise payments strategy that will increase collaboration, drive improvements, efficiencies, and modernization to our various payment platforms that offer buyers and suppliers flexible options.

Kelly has an incredible career trajectory and will share her journey and share how she owned her career path and got to where she is.
