Join us for dinner, drinks & a chance to meet people working both at fintech startups and more established financial services companies, followed by an after-dinner talk and informal Q&A with Ania Walker, Head of Commercial Development for Products/ Digital at Travelex.
Changing customer behaviour, advances in technology and the growth of new fintech players are fundamentally changing the financial services landscape. This raises serious questions for established companies – over proposition, pace of innovation and internal culture.
In her role at Travelex, Ania is responsible for corporate and product strategy, and has been working directly with the Board to define and deliver the digital change agenda. She is therefore perfectly to discuss the challenges faced by established businesses in the space in her after dinner talk.
Travelex is the world’s leading foreign exchange specialist, doing business in over 50 countries across online, 1,500 stores and 1,250 ATMs. Travelex is now focused on delivering a digital transformation of the business, including the launch of a £25 million Digital Growth Fund and a major recruitment drive to build significant product development and design capabilities.
The cost includes private dining experience with speaker, 2 course dinner with wine plus highly curated and relevant networking.
