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.

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.

Johann heeft in die ontwikkeling een belangrijke rol gespeeld. In de afgelopen decennia hielp hij Optiver uit te bouwen van een onderneming met wortels op de beursvloer tot het technologiegedreven bedrijf dat het vandaag is. 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?

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?

Wat is achteraf betalen nu precies, waarom is het zo populair, en waar liggen de risico's? Vanuit zowel de praktijk als onderzoek bespreken ze hoe Buy Now Pay Later werkt, welke rol het speelt bij online aankopen, hoe aanbieders geld verdienen, en wanneer achteraf betalen kan bijdragen aan betalingsproblemen. Ook gaat het over jongeren, verantwoordelijkheid in de markt, regulering, en waarom nuance belangrijk is in een debat over een betaalvorm die niet meer weg te denken is uit de financiële sector. *** 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 spreekt Jeroen Broekema met onderzoeksjournalist Thomas Bollen (Follow the Money) over zijn boek Geld genoeg, maar niet voor jou en de vraag waarom er “meer geld dan ooit” is, maar veel mensen dat nauwelijks merken. Ze duiken in hoe geldschepping door commerciële banken werkt, wat dat betekent voor o.a. huizenprijzen en financiële bubbels, en waarom fundamentele hervormingen zo lastig zijn door belangen en lobby. Ook komt de (digitale) euro voorbij als mogelijke gamechanger – of juist niet. *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, en Lepaya *** Boeken genoemd in de aflevering: Geld genoeg, maar niet voor jou - Thomas Bollen Bankers New Clothes - Anat Admati en Martin Hellwig *** Op de hoogte blijven van Leaders in Finance?

Paul Hilbers is een van de meest ervaren Nederlandse economen op het gebied van financiële stabiliteit en internationaal economisch beleid. Al bijna veertig jaar werkt hij in dit vakgebied, met een loopbaan die hij heeft verdeeld tussen De Nederlandsche Bank en het Internationaal Monetair Fonds in Washington D.C. In totaal maakte hij maar liefst zes keer de overstap tussen DNB en het IMF. Hij begon eind jaren tachtig bij De Nederlandsche Bank, waar hij zich bezighield met kapitaalmarktanalyse, monetair beleid en overheidsfinanciën. Binnen DNB groeide hij door in het toezicht op de financiële sector, en van 2009 tot 2020 was hij directeur Toezichtbeleid en Financiële Stabiliteit – precies in de cruciale periode na de financiële crisis. Hij was tevens lid van het Bazel's Comité voor Bankentoezicht en betrokken bij de totstandkoming van het Bazel 3 akkoord. Naast zijn werk bij DNB was hij meerdere periodes actief binnen het IMF. In zijn laatste functie als Executive Director vertegenwoordigde hij zestien landen in de Nederlands-Belgische kiesgroep. In die functie speelde hij een sleutelrol in de totstandkoming van het historische IMF-steunprogramma voor Oekraïne, een omvangrijk pakket van ruim 15 miljard dollar dat wereldwijd veel waardering opleverde. Naast zijn beleids- en toezichtwerk werd Paul in 2010 benoemd tot hoogleraar Toezicht Financiële Instellingen aan de Nyenrode Business Universiteit. Op 14 februari 2025 ging hij met emeritaat. Zijn emeritaatsrede – Bretton Woods 2.0: de rol van IMF en Wereldbank in een nieuwe internationale omgeving – draaide om veerkracht, vertrouwen en moreel leiderschap in een tijd van geopolitieke spanningen, klimaatverandering en toenemende economische fragmentatie. In diezelfde maand werd hij door koning Willem-Alexander benoemd tot Commandeur in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau, een zeldzame koninklijke onderscheiding die wordt toegekend aan personen die zich op internationaal niveau bijzonder hebben onderscheiden. De onderscheiding werd uitgereikt door Eelco Heinen. Paul studeerde Wiskunde aan de Universiteit Utrecht en Econometrie aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, waar hij ook promoveerde in de Internationale Economie. En tot slot: Paul is 69 jaar oud, heeft twee volwassen zoons, en woont met zijn vrouw in Bussum. *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Kayak, EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Roland Berger en Lepaya *** Boeken genoemd in de aflevering: Elon Musk, Walter Isaacson Wisselwachter, Geert Mak *** Op de hoogte blijven van Leaders in Finance?

In deze extra aflevering van de Leaders in Finance podcast, opgenomen tijdens de NVB Banking & Society Conference 2025 blikken we terug op een dag waarin één vraag steeds terugkwam: hoe maken we Europa weer sterk, economisch, maatschappelijk en geopolitiek? Host Rens de Jong gaat in gesprek met drie gasten die elk vanuit hun eigen perspectief reflecteren op weerbaarheid, autonomie en verantwoordelijkheid: Jacqueline van den Ende, co-founder en CEO van Carbon Equity Tjarda Krabbendam-Hersman, Division Director Defence, Safety & Security bij TNO Eelco Dubbeling, algemeen directeur van de Nederlandse Vereniging van Banken Ze bespreken hoe kwetsbaar Europa is geworden in een wereld van geopolitieke spanningen en polycrises, en waarom defensie, economische veerkracht, duurzaamheid en Europese waarden onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden zijn. Ook komt de vraag aan bod of Europa te lang naïef is geweest in investeringskeuzes rond defensie en andere strategische sectoren. Daarnaast gaat het over wat weerbaarheid vandaag betekent, niet alleen voor overheden maar ook voor banken, bedrijven en burgers, en hoe investeringen in energie, infrastructuur en innovatie kunnen bijdragen aan echte strategische autonomie. Over pessimisme versus optimisme, over politieke lef, over ESG en het ‘vredesdividend', en over de spanning tussen morele idealen en harde geopolitieke realiteit. Een aflevering over Europa op een kantelpunt – en over de rol die de financiële sector kan en moet spelen in wat er nu nodig is. *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Kayak, EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Roland Berger en Lepaya *** Op de hoogte blijven van Leaders in Finance?

Het is de week van de crowdfinance! Deze week, van 10 tot en met 14 november, staat in het teken van een snelgroeiende sector die ondernemers en investeerders rechtstreeks met elkaar verbindt. In deze aflevering verkennen we wat ‘crowdfinance' precies is, hoe het verschilt van traditionele bankfinanciering en waarom steeds meer MKB-ondernemers en particuliere beleggers ervoor kiezen om buiten de bank om te werken. Aan tafel zitten drie leiders met elk hun eigen invalshoek: Ellen Hensbergen, Managing Director Benelux bij Invesdor, een pan-Europees investeringsplatform dat duurzame en impactgedreven bedrijven financiert. Jeroen ter Huurne, oprichter en CEO van Collin Crowdfund, een van de grootste Nederlandse crowdfinance-platformen met ruim 1,2 miljard euro aan bemiddelde leningen. Johan van Buuren, mede-oprichter en directeur van Waarde voor je Geld, een platform dat zich richt op het MKB en maatschappelijke initiatieven in Nederland. Samen bespreken zij hoe crowdfinance ondernemers dichter bij hun financiers brengt, hoe de menselijke maat behouden blijft in een digitale wereld, en waarom deze sector volgens hen pas net “aan het warm lopen” is. *** Leaders in Finance wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Kayak, EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Roland Berger en Lepaya *** Op de hoogte blijven van Leaders in Finance?

In deze Leaders in Finance-aflevering spreken we opnieuw met Joris Krijger over een thema dat de financiële sector fundamenteel verandert: kunstmatige intelligentie en ethiek. Joris is Ethics & AI Officer bij ASN Bank en onderzoeker aan de Erasmus Universiteit en deelt inzichten uit zijn boek Onze Kunstmatige Toekomst. “AI kan ons iets vertellen over de wereld zoals die was, en misschien iets over de wereld zoals die is — maar het kan ons niks vertellen over de wereld zoals die zou moeten zijn.” Hoe verandert AI de manier waarop financiële instellingen tot besluiten komen? Wat gebeurt er wanneer algoritmes oude ongelijkheid uit data kopiëren naar nieuwe systemen? En wat betekent het voor een sector wanneer traditionele startersrollen verdwijnen terwijl ervaren professionals juist productiever worden door technologie? Joris verteld over de praktische vragen die nu op tafel liggen: welke uitgangspunten sturen het gebruik van AI, hoe wordt gecontroleerd of systemen recht doen aan mensen, en wie kan uitleggen waarom een beslissing zo is gevallen?

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.
