Career

During his time at Lloyds, Gardner wrote a candid blog about the banking industry, focusing on innovation and technology in the industry. He continued to write in a similar vein from within the public sector. [4] [5] In March 2010, he was cited as the most social media connected financial services executive in the United Kingdom, some 9 months after he had left the banking industry. [6]

In 2008 Gardner signed a deal with John Wiley and Sons to write a book on banking innovation [7] which included case studies from his former employer and other global banks. It includes detailed material on the bank's innovation prediction market, which attracted interest from the trade press. [8] [9]
