Insurance and the need for customer-centricity
Tuesday 1 November at 11.10 | Step 2
Insurance is a simple game if you can get it right. Give consumers the coverage they need, the means to claim, and a quick resolution at the end of it.

Boys club! How women in finance are breaking the glass ceiling
Wednesday 2 November at 11.10 | Step 2
The issue of equality in fintech is an urgent one. In recent years, women have made great strides in having their voices heard, improving visibility in high-level roles and tackling the gender pay gap. But there is always more to do, with some industries still resistant to change. Indeed, finance needs to shrug off its reputation as a boys’ club. Join three inspiring female leaders – Clémentine Svartz, CFO of French fintech unicorn Spendesk; Nina Etienne, VP Marketing Europe at SumUp; and Angelique Dwyer, Chief Customer Officer for BCG Group – for a panel discussion on women in finance.

It will be delivered by Ayca Tunc-Ruff, Vice President & Head of Banking DACH at professional services firm Genpact.
