SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, July 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TribalScale, a global AI innovation and digital transformation company, today announced the appointment of Leo Giel as Head of Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI). In this role, Giel will lead TribalScale’s strategy and growth across financial services, with a particular focus on commercial real estate, multifamily housing, alternative investments, private equity, lending, and institutional asset management.

Giel will work with executive teams to identify high-value AI opportunities, modernize operations, deploy intelligent agents, and create measurable business outcomes.

Our mission is to help financial institutions transform AI strategy into intelligent automation, operational excellence, and sustainable competitive advantage.”
Giel brings more than two decades of experience building, scaling, and transforming high-growth technology companies. Throughout his career, he has partnered with founders, CEOs, boards, and investors to commercialize emerging technologies, expand into new markets, accelerate revenue growth, raise capital, and build strategic partnerships.
Long before they became mainstream, Giel recognized the business potential of the mobile revolution, music streaming, and Connected TV (CTV), helping organizations capitalize on each wave of innovation. Today, his focus is on helping enterprises anticipate and capitalize on the next transformational wave: artificial intelligence.
At TribalScale, Giel will lead the firm’s BFSI practice, helping clients:
• Develop enterprise AI strategies aligned with business objectives
• Deploy AI agents that automate complex operational workflows
• Modernize lending, underwriting, investment, and portfolio management processes
• Connect fragmented enterprise data into intelligent decision-making platforms

We’re excited to help financial institutions unlock the next generation of growth through AI.”
TribalScale partners with many of the world’s leading organizations to build AI-powered products, intelligent platforms, and enterprise transformation initiatives. Under Giel’s leadership, the BFSI practice will focus on helping banks, financial institutions, investment firms, insurance companies, and commercial real estate organizations accelerate AI adoption while delivering measurable business value.
