State Street Names Manoj Bohra Chief Data and AI Officer

State Street has appointed Manoj Bohra as Chief Data and AI Officer, the firm announced this week.

Bohra joins from Google Cloud, where he served as Managing Director, and brings more than 20 years of experience in enterprise data and AI across both technology and financial services. The appointment was announced by Chief Operating Officer Mostapha Tahiri.

Bohra's mandate spans three areas: advancing State Street's enterprise data and AI strategy, strengthening responsible AI governance, and embedding data-driven capabilities across the firm's platforms, processes, and client solutions.

The hire comes as State Street has been investing heavily in its technology infrastructure, redirecting spending toward AI, automation, and strategic infrastructure. It has also insourced IT and back-office operations previously managed by third-party partners, a move Tahiri has described as necessary to execute technology pivots more quickly.
