Leikuma joins Neumetria to expand relationships with banks, lenders and fintech providers as demand grows for behavioural intelligence and accountable AI-driven financial decisions.
Neumetria, the behavioural intelligence infrastructure company helping financial institutions understand customers beyond transactions and govern AI-driven financial actions, has welcomed Sharlote Leikuma to accelerate commercial growth, strategic partnerships and market development.
Leikuma joins from Decta, where she served as Business Development & Partnerships Lead. She brings 15 years of experience in technology, including five years in fintech and payments, with experience across the UK, DACH, the Baltics and broader EMEA markets.
Reporting to CEO Amr Mohamed, Leikuma will focus on expanding Neumetria’s relationships with financial institutions, developing strategic partnerships and accelerating adoption of its technology across key markets.
The appointment comes as financial institutions face two increasingly connected challenges: understanding customers beyond their transaction histories and enabling AI agents to take financial actions safely and responsibly.
Open banking has made financial data more accessible, but access alone does not explain a person’s financial circumstances, capacity or readiness to act.
Neumetria addresses this gap by transforming banking and financial data into a continuously updated understanding of financial state, including income stability, liquidity, spending commitments and borrowing capacity, supported by evidence and confidence measures.
Its infrastructure also enables institutions to evaluate proposed AI-agent actions against their own policies before execution, with signed, verifiable receipts that provide accountability for policy evaluations.
Sharlote Leikuma commented:
“I joined Neumetria because it is tackling a challenge that financial institutions and payment providers increasingly face. Open banking solved access to data, but it hasn’t solved understanding the person behind it.
As AI agents begin taking actions on behalf of customers, that understanding becomes even more important. Institutions need reliable financial context and clear controls over what those agents can do.
Neumetria is building the infrastructure to connect those capabilities, and I’m excited to help bring it to more financial institutions and partners.”
Amr Mohamed, Founder and CEO of Neumetria, added:
“We’re entering a period where financial institutions won’t just use AI to understand customers, but increasingly to act on their behalf.
That creates a need for infrastructure that connects financial intelligence with accountable execution.
Sharlote brings valuable commercial experience, industry relationships and an understanding of how financial institutions adopt new technology. I’m excited to have her on the team as we expand our partnerships and bring Neumetria to more customers across Europe and beyond.”
