Aaron Washburn is the Executive Director of Business Transformation at CME Group, where he leads the enterprise strategy for AI integration, operating model redesign, and change management. With over 20 years of financial services leadership, Aaron specializes in rebuilding mission critical workflows from scratch to effectively pair human teams with AI agents. A certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt with an MBA from DePaul University, he has a proven track record of driving large-scale transformations.
AI transformation is pushing organizations beyond technology adoption into answering fundamental questions about how to deliver outcomes through the effective orchestration of humans and AI agents. Rather than optimizing existing processes, Aaron's transformation team at CME Group has taken a "start from scratch" approach, resetting functions and processes without being constrained by how they were previously designed. Join this session to hear key insights into how they are aligning operating models, developing use cases, and leading change management initiatives along the way.
