About this episode

The episode discusses driving innovation in finance amidst legacy systems and regulatory challenges with insights from industry leaders.

Last month, Kees de Wit and Tom van Disseldorp travelled to Sorrento, Italy, at the invitation of Objectway for OWIN26. During this multi-day event, they engaged with C-level leaders and senior decision-makers from across the European financial services industry. In this episode, host Kees de Wit speaks with Maarten Lindner (Lead Investment Products at Rabobank) and Kurt Vanhee (CEO Continental Europe at Objectway) about what it really takes to drive innovation in a complex financial landscape. They explore the tension between innovation and legacy systems, why data and infrastructure form the true foundation for transformation, and how large institutions balance agility with scale amid increasing regulation. The conversation also highlights the importance of a long-term “North Star” vision, the realities of modernizing client journeys, and why innovation in finance is never a finished process—but a continuous journey. ***Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, and Lepaya.
