Mariya George, co‑founder and CEO of Cleareye.ai, joins Deepesh Patel in the TTP Studios to explore how AI is reshaping the realities of trade finance. Drawing on her long career in banking technology, she reflects on the early days of commercialising AI, the leap into founding Cleareye.ai, and the resilience required to build an enterprise platform during the uncertainty of the pandemic. As she explains in the article, “My job earlier on in my career was to understand what the banking customer's needs are and, as a tech company, how to help them with their tech needs” . Her story charts the shift from experimentation to execution, culminating in the pivotal partnership with J.P. Morgan that accelerated the company’s global scale. The conversation also examines the evolving expectations placed on AI in banking, from sandbox testing to board‑level mandates for explainability and governance. George outlines why domain‑based AI is now essential for handling the complexity of trade finance, noting that “You cannot use general purpose LLMs to solve a trade finance problem” .
