Leaders Roundtable: Rewiring Finance for the Next Decade

The next decade will favour organisations that can rearchitect how value is created: sharper customer propositions, new revenue streams, lower cost-to-serve, and resilience by design.

As AI evolves from assistive to agentic, financial services firms face a critical challenge: making faster, smarter decisions while maintaining trust and transparency. Legacy models of risk, compliance, and operations are no longer enough to compete in an AI-native world.

Agentic AI can truly move the needle. It embeds trust into every decision, accelerates operations, and unlocks new revenue opportunities. By automating workflows, surfacing insights, and orchestrating risk, compliance, and business functions, agentic AI enables organisations to move faster while balancing speed, risk, and differentiation.

Join us for this exclusive, invitation-only Leaders Roundtable, bringing together senior executives from the region’s top financial institutions to discuss bold bets that move the P&L, grounded in real-world experience and peer insights.

Key insights from the session will include:

Embedding Trust Across Decisions. Learn how to integrate controls, data lineage, and model risk management so every decision meets regulatory and customer expectations without slowing innovation.
Redesigning Operating Models for Agility. Discover how agentic AI can reshape roles, incentives, and workflows to increase speed, visibility, and accountability across teams.
Unlocking Customer Value and New Revenue Streams. Explore credible opportunities in embedded finance, ecosystem partnerships, and wealth-as-a-service, balancing risk, differentiation, and speed through a disciplined build-buy-partner approach.

We look forward to a focused peer dialogue, as we shape the next chapter of finance together.

Key takeaways from the session:

Start with better questions, not faster answers. The real challenge isn’t adopting technology; it’s identifying where it truly creates value. When teams focus on the right questions, decisions become smarter and outcomes more meaningful.
Let resources and readiness shape the pace of progress. Scaling AI responsibly requires the right people, systems, and governance. Organisations that invest in these foundations evolve from quick wins to sustained impact
Bring intelligence closer to the customer. From improving AML and KYC to creating more personalised experiences, intelligent systems make every interaction more meaningful; and, when designed inclusively, expand access to financial services.
Build through orchestration, not replacement. The future of innovation lies in layering agents, workflows, and people intelligently. Smart orchestration strengthens governance while accelerating change.
Leverage open, hybrid, and collaborative approaches. AI success now depends on openness and shared innovation. Institutions that engage across partners, platforms, and ecosystems move faster, stay compliant, and scale responsibly.
