Welcome to this extra episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, recorded live after the third Leaders in Finance Compliance Event at the H'ART Museum in Amsterdam, where over 100 participants from more than 50 organisations came together to discuss the future of compliance in financial services, with a particular focus on AI, technology and crypto. Host Kees de Wit reflects on the day's key themes together with Leanne Joseph (moderator of the event), Tom van de Laar (Head of Financial Crime Compliance & Deputy Chief Compliance Officer, Rabobank), and Pieter van Doorn (Partner, Deloitte). Together, they discuss how rapidly developing technologies are changing the compliance profession, whether AI could eventually replace parts of the compliance function, and why human judgement will remain essential. They also reflect on the rise of crypto and neobanks, the impact of regulation such as MiCAR, and the continuing tension between innovation and effective oversight. And looking ahead: how can financial institutions, regulators and other public and private parties work together more effectively, build trust and respond with greater urgency to a rapidly changing financial landscape? A big thank you to all speakers, participants and our event partners for making this another inspiring edition of the Leaders in Finance Compliance Event.

Some conversations are worth returning to. This is certainly one of them. Anneka Treon's original appearance became the most-listened-to episode in the history of the Leaders in Finance Podcast. In this new ten-minute edit, Jeroen Broekema revisits some of its most memorable moments. Anneka talks about growing up as a competitive chess player and a self-described nerd, what first drew her to financial services, and the striking cultural differences between the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. She also reflects on ambition, competition and why building a career is ultimately a marathon, not a sprint. At the time of the original recording, Anneka worked at Van Lanschot Kempen. She has since joined ING, where she leads its global wealth management business. Enjoy these ten minutes with Anneka Treon. Would you like to hear more? Listen to the full original episode here.

Daniele Tonella is Chief Technology Officer and a member of ING's Management Board Banking. Since August 2024, he has been responsible for ING's global technology landscape and advises the Management Board on technology-driven business opportunities. As he puts it, his role covers almost everything at ING that contains “a chip or a line of code.” He leads a global technology organisation of around 20,000 employees. His responsibilities include the reliability and security of ING's systems, engineering productivity, the transition to scalable global technology platforms and cloud-native architecture, and innovation in areas such as artificial intelligence. Before joining ING, Daniele was Group Chief Information Officer at UniCredit and CEO of UniCredit Services. Earlier in his career, he led AXA Technology Services, served as Global CIO at Evalueserve, held technology and operations leadership roles at Swiss Life, and worked in consulting at Mercer Management Consulting and McKinsey & Company. Daniele grew up in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland and studied engineering at ETH Zurich. He later completed executive education programmes at Harvard, IMD, INSEAD and MIT Sloan. Daniele is 54, is married, lives in Switzerland and has four children. In this conversation, Daniele discusses what it takes to lead technology at scale, why AI can turn “garbage in, garbage out” into “garbage in, disaster out,” and how ING balances innovation with standardisation, security and resilience. He also reflects on his leadership style, the future of junior engineers, technological sovereignty, introversion, family life and his lifelong desire to build things.

Frits Moonen is oprichter en managing partner van Momentum Family Office, een onafhankelijk multi-family office dat vermogende ondernemers en families adviseert over de inrichting, bescherming en overdracht van hun vermogen. Sinds de oprichting in 2019 is Momentum uitgegroeid tot een van de snelst groeiende onafhankelijke family offices van Nederland. Voordat hij Momentum oprichtte, werkte Frits bij ING. Hij begon er als trainee en groeide door tot private banker. Daar ontstond zijn overtuiging dat onafhankelijk financieel advies en productverkoop strikt gescheiden zouden moeten zijn. Vanuit die visie richtte hij zijn eigen onderneming op. Frits behaalde een master Bedrijfskunde aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen.

In deze extra aflevering van Leaders in Finance spreekt Jeroen Broekema met Hadewych Kuiper, Managing Director en lid van de Management Board van Triodos Investment Management. Hadewych vertelt hoe haar Groningse achtergrond, haar werk als consultant en een bewuste keuze om niet voor British American Tobacco naar Hongkong te gaan haar uiteindelijk bij Triodos brachten. Ze begon er in 2008, vlak voordat de financiële crisis uitbrak, en zag van dichtbij waarom het verschil maakt om precies te weten waar geld terechtkomt. Triodos Investment Management beheert inmiddels ruim €6 miljard. Hoe selecteer je bedrijven die echt bijdragen aan de energie-, voedsel- en circulariteitstransitie of aan menselijk en maatschappelijk welzijn? Waarom belegt Triodos wel in Vestas, maar niet in Tesla? En hoe combineer je impact met harde rendementseisen? Ook gaat het over engagement met bedrijven, microfinanciering, institutionele beleggers, actieve ETF's en de ambitie om door te groeien naar €10 miljard. Want voor Hadewych gaat het niet alleen om financing change, maar ook om changing finance. *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door EY, Duna, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, en Lepaya *** Op de hoogte blijven van Leaders in Finance?

Jeroen en Stan ter Huurne vertegenwoordigen samen twee generaties ondernemerschap binnen Collin Crowdfund, een van de grootste crowdfinance-platformen van Nederland. Jeroen ter Huurne begon zijn carrière bij Rabobank, waar hij uiteindelijk bijna dertig jaar werkzaam was, waarvan 22 jaar in directiefuncties. Op 29-jarige leeftijd werd hij de jongste Rabobankdirecteur van Zuid-Nederland. Na de financiële crisis zag hij dat traditionele banken steeds terughoudender werden in mkb-financiering. Vanuit die observatie richtte hij in 2014 Collin Crowdfund op, aanvankelijk vanuit het tuinhuis van zijn woning. Sindsdien groeide Collin Crowdfund uit tot een belangrijke speler in non-bancaire financiering, met inmiddels meer dan 1.5 miljard euro aan bemiddelde financieringen en ruim 50.000 actieve investeerders. Stan ter Huurne is sinds december 2024 Operationeel Directeur van Collin Crowdfund. Daarvoor vervulde hij binnen de organisatie onder meer de functies van Business Controller en Bestuurssecretaris. Stan promoveerde in de Technische Natuurkunde aan de Eindhoven University of Technology. *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door EY, Duna, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, en Lepaya *** Op de hoogte blijven van Leaders in Finance?

In this extra episode of Leaders in Finance, Jeroen Broekema speaks with Lenhard Hübscher, Country Lead Benelux & France at Riverty, about the company's recent acquisition of a European banking licence. They discuss why Riverty decided to become a bank, what the licence changes in practice, and why the company has no ambition to become a traditional retail bank. Instead, the conversation focuses on embedded finance, the future of Buy Now, Pay Later, and Riverty's strategy to support merchants across Europe. Lenhard also reflects on the licensing process itself, the choice for Luxembourg, the increasing role of regulation in fintech, and Riverty's plans for further growth in consumer finance and European expansion. *** Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Duna and Lepaya.

In this episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, host Jeroen Broekema speaks with Ingo Uytdehaage, co-CEO of Adyen, and Jessica Peters-Hondelink, Directeur-bestuurder and CEO of Amsterdam Economic Board. The conversation explores what has made Amsterdam one of Europe's leading technology and fintech hubs, and what is needed to maintain that position in the years ahead. Topics include entrepreneurship, talent, public-private cooperation, AI, digital autonomy, regulation, housing, infrastructure and the role of government in creating a competitive business climate. Ingo reflects on Adyen's growth from a small Amsterdam startup into a global fintech company with more than 5,000 employees, while Jessica explains how Amsterdam Economic Board brings together businesses, governments and knowledge institutions to strengthen the region's innovation ecosystem. Together, they discuss why collaboration, long-term ambition and a strong technology ecosystem are essential for the future of the Dutch economy. *** Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Duna and Lepaya.

Welcome to this extra episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, recorded live after the fourth Leaders in Finance Cybersecurity Event at Kontakt der Kontinenten in Soesterberg, where over 100 participants from more than 50 organisations came together to discuss one of the defining challenges for the financial sector: building cyber resilience in an increasingly uncertain world. Host Kees de Wit reflects on the day's key themes together with Rudrani Djwalapersad (Partner, Cyber Security Financial Services, EY), Ricardo Ferreira (Field CISO EMEA, Fortinet), Deepak Rambhadja (Sales Engineer, Rubrik), and Marcel van Leent (Security Leader, ABN AMRO Clearing Bank). Together, they discuss why cybersecurity has become a board-level topic, how AI is changing both the offensive and defensive side of cyber, and why organisations need to move beyond compliance checklists towards true resilience. They also reflect on lessons from Ukraine's largest bank, the importance of automation, data governance and public-private partnerships, and why resilience ultimately depends as much on people, collaboration and culture as it does on technology. And looking ahead: how can organisations move from awareness to action, break down silos, and bring more business leaders into the cybersecurity conversation? A big thank you to all speakers, participants and our event partners for making this another inspiring edition of the Leaders in Finance Cybersecurity Event. *** Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Duna and Lepaya.

Welcome to this extra episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, recorded live after the third Leaders in Finance AI Event at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam. Following a day of keynotes and discussions, host Kees de Wit is joined by Menno Bonninga (Partner at EY Consulting and EY Netherlands AI Lead), Bira Thanabalasingam (Managing Director at Yellowtail Conclusion), Kyriakos Fistos (AI & Analytics Advisor at SAS), and Yorick Naeff (Chief Innovation Officer at ABN AMRO) to reflect on some of the biggest questions facing financial institutions as AI moves from experimentation towards everyday business. Why do so many AI initiatives still struggle to scale? Why is data quality often a bigger challenge than the AI models themselves? And how do large financial institutions balance innovation with governance, regulation and decades of legacy systems? The conversation explores the rise of agentic AI, the difference between trust and customer loyalty, why organisations should stop chasing the latest models and instead start with strategy, and how AI is forcing banks to rethink not only their technology, but also their operating models, workforce and long-term role in society. One theme returns throughout the discussion: successful AI transformation is ultimately less about technology than about people, leadership and making the right organisational choices. A big thank you to all speakers, participants and our event partners for making this another inspiring edition of the Leaders in Finance AI Event. *** Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Duna and Lepaya.

In deze extra aflevering van Leaders in Finance spreekt Jeroen Broekema met journalist en auteur Roel Janssen over zijn nieuwe boek Het Cryptoparadijs. Aan de hand van een fictief verhaal over een verdwenen miljoenenfraude duiken zij in de wereld van cryptovaluta, witwassen, financiële criminaliteit en toezicht. Hoe makkelijk kan geld verdwijnen in de cryptowereld? Waarom is opsporing zo ingewikkeld? En wat maakt landen als El Salvador zo interessant voor crypto-ondernemers én criminelen? Daarnaast vertelt Roel over het schrijfproces van het boek, zijn jaren als journalist bij NRC Handelsblad, zijn ervaringen in Latijns-Amerika en hoe fictie soms kan helpen om complexe financiële en maatschappelijke onderwerpen toegankelijker te maken voor een breed publiek. *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door EY, Duna, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, en Lepaya *** Bekijk hier het boek: Het cryptoparadijs.

In deze extra aflevering van Leaders in Finance spreekt Jeroen Broekema met Twan Huys over zijn nieuwe boek Het Droompad. Aanleiding voor het boek is een wandeltocht van 550 kilometer van München naar Venetië, die Twan in verschillende etappes samen met zijn zoon Jack liep. Maar dit gesprek gaat over veel meer dan wandelen. Het gaat over de relatie tussen vader en zoon, over de invloed van ouders op een mensenleven, over afscheid nemen, rouw verwerken en de vraag hoe je rust vindt in een bestaan dat altijd maar doorgaat. Twan vertelt openhartig over het overlijden van zijn beide ouders tijdens het schrijfproces van het boek, over zijn eigen neiging om altijd bezig te zijn en over de bijzondere gesprekken die ontstonden tijdens weken wandelen door de Alpen en Dolomieten. Ook spreken zij over natuur, klimaatverandering, massatoerisme, ambitie, werkdruk en waarom juist vertraging soms helpt om scherper te zien wat er echt toe doet. *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door EY, Duna, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, en Lepaya *** Op de hoogte blijven van Leaders in Finance?

Last month, our colleagues Kees de Wit and Tom van Disseldorp travelled to Sorrento, Italy, at the invitation of Objectway for OWIN26. During this multi-day event, they spoke with C-level leaders and senior decision-makers from across the European financial services industry. In this episode, host Kees de Wit speaks with Alberto Cuccu (COO International at Objectway) about what it really takes to scale in wealth management industry today. They explore why strong platform foundations are essential before true differentiation can happen, how “solution as-a-service” differs from traditional SaaS, and why most innovation efforts fail when approached in isolation. The conversation also looks ahead, unpacking the growing role of AI in financial services, from automating operations to reshaping advisory roles, while highlighting one key constant: human judgment and emotion remain central. *** Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, and Lepaya.

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.

Jeroen Broekema is de oprichter en vaste host van de Leaders in Finance Podcast. In deze bijzondere 199e aflevering draaien de rollen om en wordt hij zelf geïnterviewd door Twan Huys. Het is een traditie geworden, bij de 99e aflevering was de interviewer Jort Kelder. Dat was op 7 maart 2022. Voor de start van Leaders in Finance werkte hij zeven jaar bij ABN AMRO, was hij vijf jaar actief in de fintechsector als Managing Director van Funding Circle en studeerde hij in Leiden en aan London School of Economics. Inmiddels is Leaders in Finance uitgegroeid tot hét platform in de financiële sector voor podcasts, events en trainingen. In dit gesprek gaat het over de drijfveren achter succes, zijn jeugd en opvoeding, de competitie met zijn broers, ondernemerschap en ambitie. Ze spreken over macht en leiderschap, wat Jeroen leerde van bijna 200 gesprekken met CEO's en bestuurders, en hoe hij kijkt naar gezin, vaderschap en balans. Daarnaast vertelt Jeroen over zijn visie op Leaders in Finance, zijn fascinatie voor de financiële sector en waarom zelfkennis uiteindelijk belangrijker is dan status of carrière.

Johann Kaemingk is een van de grondleggers van Optiver. In 1986 richtte hij het bedrijf op in Amsterdam, waar het begon als een klein team van handelaren op de beursvloer.

Hij was jarenlang actief in het management, waaronder als Group Chief Risk Officer. In 2020 trad hij terug uit de operationele activiteiten, maar hij bleef wel actief als founder en lid van Optiver's Executive Committee. Johann deed Atheneum, is 68 jaar, woont in Zeist en is getrouwd en heeft 7 kinderen en op dit moment 8 kleinkinderen. *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, en Lepaya *** Op de hoogte blijven van Leaders in Finance?

Emma Thomas has been CEO of Achmea Farm Insurance in Australia since April 2017. She leads the Executive Leadership Team and oversees Strategy and People and Culture, with a clear focus on Achmea's mission: keeping farmers farming. Under her leadership, the specialist agricultural insurer has grown from a start up challenger into a major player in the Australian market, with consistent double digit growth. Emma grew up in New Zealand with strong farming roots, from her grandparents' Merino sheep farm in Central Otago to her parents' deer and sheep farm in Riverton, Southland. She spent a lot of time helping on the farm while studying and starting her career in accounting and insurance. Before moving to Australia, she and her husband also raised their children on a small sheep and horse lifestyle farm on the Kapiti Coast. She studied commerce at the University of Otago and began her career in audit at a big four firm in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. She later held an executive role at an IT solutions company, then spent a decade in senior leadership at FMG (Farmers Mutual Group) before joining Achmea. She now lives in Sydney with her husband and two children. *** Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, and Lepaya.

In deze extra aflevering van Leaders in Finance, die verschijnt in de Week van het Geld, spreekt Jeroen Broekema met Hilde Krens, directeur van Stichting Eurowijs, over hoe kinderen al op jonge leeftijd leren omgaan met geld. Ze bespreken waarom financiële educatie niet pas op de middelbare school moet beginnen, hoe kinderen de stap maken van contant naar digitaal geld, en welke rol ouders, leerkrachten en financiële instellingen daarin spelen. Ook gaat het over online verleidingen zoals in-app aankopen, influencers en buy now, pay later, en over de vraag hoe je kinderen daar weerbaarder in maakt. *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, en Lepaya *** Op de hoogte blijven van Leaders in Finance?

In deze extra aflevering van Leaders in Finance, opgenomen in het kader van de Week van het Geld, staat de financiële educatie van jongeren in Nederland centraal. Samen met Christian Meijer van Wijzer in Geldzaken, Willem van den Berg van a.s.r., en docenten Renée Audier-Oranje en Önder Baytimur van het Albeda College bespreken we hoe jongeren vandaag de dag omgaan met geld, welke risico's zij tegenkomen en waarom financiële weerbaarheid niet vanzelfsprekend is. Aan bod komen onder meer geldstress onder jongeren, de invloed van social media en influencers, de verleiding van achteraf betalen en crypto, en de vraag waarom juist mbo-studenten vaak extra kwetsbaar zijn. Ook gaat het gesprek in op de rol van onderwijs, ouders, overheid en financiële instellingen: waar ligt de verantwoordelijkheid, wat werkt in de praktijk echt, en hoe zorg je dat financiële educatie meer wordt dan een eenmalige gastles? *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, en Lepaya *** Op de hoogte blijven van Leaders in Finance?

How do you transform banks that have been built over centuries for a world where artificial intelligence operates 10 times faster than the digital revolution? We're not just talking about implementing new technology; we're reimagining banking for customers who interact daily with AI assistants and may soon entrust their money management entirely to intelligent systems. However, banks that rush into action without understanding their organizational and cultural legacies will find their investments yielding disappointing results. The issue isn't the technology; it's that we equate activity with progress, making top-down decisions that overlook what's happening on the ground. Our guest on the Banking Transformed podcast, Sophie Heller, is the newly appointed Chief Transformation Officer at BNP Paribas CPBS, bringing a unique perspective that combines strategic technology leadership with deep insights from behavioral sciences and organizational sociology. Today, we explore why the pause before progress might be more important than the speed of implementation, how behavioral sciences are becoming essential tools for transformation leaders, and what it takes to redesign banking for an AI-powered world.
