slice appoints former SBI Chief General Manager Sreedevi Pillai to board

slice has appointed Sreedevi Pillai, former Chief General Manager – Risk Management at State Bank of India (SBI), as an Independent Director (Non-Executive) to its Bank Board.

Sreedevi Pillai brings 36 years of banking leadership experience, most of it at SBI, where she oversaw Operational Risk Management, Fraud Prevention and Monitoring, and Enterprise & Group Risk Management across the bank and its group entities. During her tenure, she led the development of fraud detection frameworks that placed SBI among the first large commercial banks in India to deploy such sophisticated capabilities at scale.

“We are glad to welcome Mrs. Pillai to the Board,” said Rajan Bajaj, MD & CEO, slice. "Building right from the very beginning and without compromise is what we’re trying to do with slice. And to be able to do that well for not a few, but everyone demands the kind of governance and risk expertise that only comes from leading institutions at scale. Mrs. Pillai has done exactly that. Her deep experience in operational risk, fraud oversight, and enterprise risk management at India's largest bank makes her a tremendous addition to our Board. We are fortunate to have her with us as we build for a future where banking is delightful for every customer."

“I am honored to join the Board of slice at this important stage of its evolution,” said Sreedevi Pillai, Independent Director, slice. “The bank’s commitment to building a transparent, digitally driven, and inclusive banking platform aligns strongly with the evolving landscape of responsible finance in India. I look forward to working closely with Rajan, the leadership team, and the Board to contribute to robust governance, prudent risk management, and sustainable growth.”
