remain ahead of the curve with a rapidly growing trend of digitalization in banking and financial
|
services on a global scale. The Digital Bridge created by Mr. Tiwari and his wealth of experience
|
in the industry make his abilities in his field truly extraordinary.
|
My name is Debra Ameerally, and I am the current Director of AI/ML Data Operations, BPR and
|
Analytics at Apple, before this role I led Apple Pay, built Apple store and Apple Wallet. Apple is the
|
worlds largest technology company, with $394.3 billion in revenue in 2022. It produces a multitude
|
of technology products, including the iPhone, iPad, iWatch, Airpods, and more. It also offers financial
|
technology services in the form of Apple Pay, Apple Card, and Apple Cash. In my Director role, I
|
apply my wealth of leadership experience, specifically in the software industry. I am a seasoned e-
|
commerce professional with broad experience in online commerce, including analyses and strategy,
|
coupled with a strong IT background. Before my role as Director of AIML Data Operations, BPR and
|
Analytics, I applied my experience in several other leadership roles with Apple, including Director of
|
Payments, iTunes store; Director of Maps; and Director of Analytics HR. Additionally, I am highly
|
educated with a Master of Science in Economics from the London School of Economic and Political
|
Science (LSE), specializing in Analysis, Design, and Management of Information Systems. I also
|
hold a Bachelor of Science in Economics from LSE, specializing in Accounting. Based on my level
|
of experience and education, I am expertly qualified to speak to Mr. Tiwaris extraordinary ability in
|
digital banking and financial services.
|
As a leader within Apple, I directly witnessed the impact of Mr. Tiwaris innovative Digital Bridge as
|
applied to Apples Payment products when Apple was a McKinsey client. Although Mr. Tiwari
|
performed this work while employed with McKinsey, the Digital Bridge has since proliferated beyond
|
Apple into the industry as a whole, and we got to know it via our banking partners. Further, Mr.
|
Tiwaris Digital Bridge can be attributed specifically to him and his extraordinary ability, rather than
|
to McKinsey as his employer. McKinsey can claim credit for the wise decision to employ him (as they
|
should); however, Mr. Tiwaris innovative contribution to the digital banking and financial services
|
field is entirely his own.
|
For context, digital banking and financial services has been a rapidly growing and competitive field,
|
with unique challenges as banks and payment networks struggle to develop new core systems to
|
meet the needs of their users and deploy new network infrastructure. Historically, migration from old
|

|
systems such as mainframe and IMS databases has been a painstaking task, with a significant risk
|
of lost data, functional discrepancies, and long amounts of downtime. Mr. Tiwari developed a new,
|
modern framework to simplify this enormous task, which is now known across the industry as Digital
|
Legacy Decomposition and Automated Integration Framework, or, more simply, Digital Bridge. At
|
its essence, Mr. Tiwaris Digital Bridge redefines and solves for the transition between the old
|
systems and the new, functioning as an intermediary layer, which simplifies and accelerates the
|
migration process.
|
Mr. Tiwaris Digital Bridge methodology involves numerous components, including automatic
|
cataloging, legacy code identification, decoupling and preservation, and API integration. At the
|
outset, Digital Bridge performs a comprehensive scan, cataloging components of the existing
|
system, ensuring that no component is inadvertently overlooked. Employing advanced algorithms,
|
the Digital Bridge framework differentiates between the new and legacy code segments, which aids
|
in the efficient migration of only relevant, up-to-date data and functionalities. One feature that makes
|
the Digital Bridge shine is its ability to isolate business logic from codebase, ensuring that vital
|
processes are both preserved and enhanced during the migration process. This isolated business
|
logic is then transformed into immutable APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which are
|
placed systematically in a service catalog. These APIs act as building blocks for the new system,
|
allowing institutions to mold their service flexibility.
|
Mr. Tiwaris innovative and disruptive Digital Bridge methodology brings with it numerous game-
|
changing advantages. First, it mitigates risk by providing an intermediary layer and providing a highly
|
effective and reliable framework to diminish the risk of data loss and functional inconsistencies and
|
discrepancies. It is also cost-effective. Historically, migrations have been not only extremely time-
|
consuming but also financially draining. Digital Bridges efficiency reduces both operational
|
downtime and the costs associated with it. The stable API structure means banks can progressively
|
adopt new functionalities while ensuring minimal disruptions to their existing users. Additionally, the
|
frameworks modular approach allows for easy updates and enhancements, making it a sustainable
|
choice for future technological shifts.
|
The results of the implementation of Mr. Tiwaris Digital Bridge at our organization, specifically in
|
Apple Pay, cannot be overstated. Given as a large enterprise we have several systems and
|
platforms, we had a very fragmented approach to integration and synchronization, the Digital bridge
|
framework enabled us to simplify integrations across more than 300+ services, across 6 different
|
platforms and easily integrate with our network and banking partners. Currently the product runs on
|
the Digital bridge orchestration framework and supports more than 100 million active devices/users
|
and over 100 thousand transactions per second. Digital bridge enabled us to build several extensions
|
to our products, some of which are of confidential nature to mention here.

|
Given the disruptive nature and global impact of Mr. Tiwaris Digital Bridge methodology in digital
|
banking and financial services, I earnestly endorse him as among the top 1 to 2% of experts in his
|
field. I strongly believe the U.S. will continue to benefit from Mr. Tiwaris extraordinary abilities in his
|
field, and I avidly recommend the approval of the petition on Mr. Tiwaris behalf.

Sincerely,
