SUMMARY Riana Maus, SVP of Talent, Inclusion, and Diversity Acquisition at UMB Bank, joins Clark to unpack how recruiting leaders in regulated industries can approach AI not with fear or hype, but with strategy. As financial institutions face pressure to “do something with AI,” Riana offers a practical, phased roadmap to adopting innovation while staying compliant and human-centered.
With nearly a decade at UMB, Riana has seen talent acquisition evolve rapidly. In this conversation, she shares the moment AI shifted from curiosity to necessity, how candidates are often outpacing companies in AI usage, and why TA leaders need to step up not just to implement tools, but to shape responsible, value-driven practices.
This episode is a must-listen for recruiters navigating AI, compliance concerns, or executive pressure to modernize. It’s not about tools. It’s about mindset, trust, and creating clarity in chaos.
RIANA'S BIO Riana Maus is the Senior Vice President of Talent, Inclusion, and Diversity Acquisition at UMB Bank. With nearly ten years at the organization, she has led strategic recruitment in a highly regulated environment while championing inclusive hiring and innovative thinking.
