I would align internal Product, Legal, Compliance, Security, and Communications stakeholders on clear objectives, then develop evidence-based positions and engagement plans for regulators, trade bodies, and relevant policymakers. I would continuously refine the strategy as consultation feedback and political priorities evolve. Describe how you would build credibility with regulators and policymakers who may be unfamiliar with Plaid's products. I would lead with the public-interest value of secure, consumer-permissioned data sharing and communicate in clear, non-technical language. I would provide practical examples, credible evidence, and transparent discussion of risks and safeguards. Consistent, responsive engagement and reliable follow-through would be essential to building long-term trust. How do you handle disagreement among internal stakeholders on a policy position? I would clarify the decision to be made, identify the underlying business, legal, and reputational concerns, and make trade-offs explicit. I would use evidence and scenario analysis to propose options rather than framing the discussion as a binary conflict. Once leadership reaches a decision, I would ensure stakeholders understand the rationale and external messaging is coordinated. What policy risks and opportunities do you see in open banking and data sharing across the UK and EU? Key opportunities include improving consumer choice, competition, financial inclusion, and innovation through interoperable and secure data access. Risks include inconsistent implementation across jurisdictions, unclear liability models, security concerns, and rules that unintentionally limit consumer-authorized data sharing. A strong policy approach should support robust consumer protections while preserving practical pathways for innovation. How would you measure the effectiveness of a public-policy advocacy program? I would use a balanced set of indicators, including the quality of regulator relationships, access to relevant consultations and forums, stakeholder alignment, movement in policy language, and the practical impact of final rules on the business and consumers. I would also track leading indicators such as meeting outcomes, coalition support, and timely internal decision-making. Regular reviews would help adjust priorities as the policy environment changes.
