  • Banks and FinTech on Platform Economies - A conversation with Paolo Sironi
    Jul 27 2023

    When we first met a few years ago following the launch of his second book, FinTech Innovation, I looked to summarize Paolo’s achievements as a bestselling FinTech author, global industry Strategist, experienced quant and risk manager, international keynote speaker, successful startup entrepreneur and thought leader. In short: a true FinTech superstar. Fast forward to the end of 2021, he nothing but cemented this reputation.

    He is the Global Research Leader in Banking and Financial Markets at IBM, Institute for Business Value. He is also a senior advisor for selected global accounts, assisting service teams in Board-level and C-level conversations about business model adaptation in platform economies. He still is a keynote speaker at major international events and he, of course, still writes books: following two more titles, he has now published his latest work, Banks and FinTech on Platform Economies.

    We spoke about this plus a few other things and I hope you enjoy this conversation with Paolo Sironi!
