For OpenAI · AI Applications product lead for Financial Services

A builder-PM who ships AI applications into regulated workflows, for OpenAI's Financial Services team.

I'm Stephen Mordue, an AI-native product and technology leader in San Francisco with 15+ years across medical devices, B2B / B2C apps, and consumer electronics. I build AI applications that ship and move margins, and I'd like to do that as your AI Applications product lead for Financial Services.

What I read about OpenAI

OpenAI's Financial Services team builds products for diligence, research, client materials, models, and investment analysis across banking, PE, asset and wealth management, and insurance, with a hands-on PM reporting to the GM of Financial Services. [1]

Three AI applications I'd start with

01

Diligence room agent with source traceability

An agent that reads a data room, drafts the diligence memo, and links every claim to a page, with evals built from real reviewer edits.

Grounded in source [1]
02

PE portfolio-company AI playbook

A repeatable package for PE operating partners: a margin-improvement agent per portfolio company, measured in hours saved and leaks plugged, informed by my current engagement with a PE-backed services company.

Grounded in source [1]
03

Insurance and regulated-ops copilots

Document-heavy workflows (policy, claims, compliance) with review queues and acceptance metrics, built to the privacy and security bar institutions require.

Proof from my work

Also: early team at AliveCor (FDA 510(k) files, HIPAA), Stryker Endoscopy, Abbott Diabetes Care, and Micronics; VP of Product at Kenzen; 6 patents; B.S. Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington. I work AI-native every day in Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Grok.

30 / 60 / 90

30 days

Listen and map

Meet the leaders who own the outcomes, inventory live AI efforts and data, and agree on 3 measurable target metrics. Ship one working prototype against a real workflow.

60 days

Prove value

Take the top use case to a production pilot with evals, guardrails, and a baseline. Publish a prioritized AI roadmap with build, buy, or partner calls for each capability.

90 days

Scale the system

Turn the pilot into a paved road other teams can reuse, report results in dollars and hours, and line up the next two bets with owners and dates.

Let's talk

If this is useful for the Product Manager, Financial Services search or a related AI leadership need, I'd welcome 20 minutes.
