About Hold the Pen

In financial services, whoever holds the pen owns the document. AI can draft the credit memo, the claims summary or the policy gap check. A person still holds the pen, checks it and signs.

That's the line we work to. We help FS teams get AI doing real work, with the checks built in, so the people who sign it off can.

Who we work with

Mid-sized banks, insurers, wealth managers, payments firms and lenders across the UK and EU. Mostly credit, risk, claims, KYC and operations teams, and the leaders who have to answer for them.

Founder

Hold the Pen was founded by Srini Annamaraju, who has spent around 30 years in enterprise technology, including client-facing roles at Tata Consultancy Services, Capgemini and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. He writes every week about putting AI to work in financial services at annamaraju.com.
