Industry Experts take to stage for Fintech EUROPE London 2016 

Managers of Wealth (MoW) event FinTech EUROPE 2016 is to be held in central London on 27 October, 2016. The speakers represent many industry leading organisations and have extensive experience which contributes to their interesting, stimulating and insightful topics all very relevant in the post Brexit economy.

“We recognise that our delegates seek to learn, discuss and debate relevant topics with their peers and colleagues from the industry during our events. Given the state of the investment market today, the challenges and issues we face are very relevant but so too is taking time out to consider the strategic direction required for continued success. We are delighted that we have secured very engaging and knowledgeable speakers for FinTech EUROPE 2016,” comments Trevor Roberts, Founder and CEO, Managers of Wealth. He adds, “We are very appreciative of the time given by our speakers and below is a taste of what is to come on the 27th.”

Dr Daniel Diemers, Partner, PwC and Vice President, Swiss Finance & Technology Association. Daniel leads the panel discussion “Quick-witted mammals vs the Jurassic banking dinosaurs” which is sure to be a stimulating discussion. Daniel’s industry expertise covers retail and wholesale banking, private banking and wealth management, consumer finance and insurance. He specialises in growth strategies, market entry/regional expansion, digital innovation/ FinTech, operating model optimization, and risk and regulatory management. With this background and his current involvement with blue chip clients across Europe and the Middle East, Daniel has a wealth of experience to draw upon and to help stimulate the discussion.

Based in Zurich, Switzerland now recognised as a hot bed of FinTech innovation, Daniel has also found time to publish many books and articles and is an active speaker at conferences in Europe and the United States.

Combining her experience with her roles as Co-Chair of the Investment Funds Committee of the International Bar Association, and her active participation in the Financial Services Section of the Association’s LPD Council and as member of the FSA’s Legal Experts Group on the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, we know Kirstene will be a most interesting speaker.
