Chris Skinner, one of
the UK’s most influential technology experts, will be appearing at this year’s
FINOPOLIS with a talk on the issues surrounding digital transformation in the
banking sector.
Digital technology has
forced banks to change their business models. Whereas previously banks were the
ones to determine the way the financial sector would develop, today’s digital
model gives the customer the biggest voice. Skinner’s talk will cover a range
of topics, including what banks need to do in order to survive in the digital
age, who is currently leading the field in this regard, and what the
individual’s role is in a digital bank.
Skinner will also
moderate the opening plenary session on the second day of the Forum, which will
focus on trends affecting the development of fintech to 2035. Participants will
discuss emerging competencies, the fintech labour market, and the future of the
fintech market in Russia and across the globe.
Chris Skinner is an
independent commentator on financial markets and technologies, runs theFinanser.com – a blog dedicated to finance, and is the
author of the bestselling books Digital Bank, ValueWeb, and Digital
Human. He has worked as a consultant for the United Nations, the White
House, and the World Economic Forum.
In the past few years,
Skinner has been recognized by Wall StreetJournal’s FinancialNews and Thomson
Reuters as one of the most
influential figures in financial technology. He has also received numerous
prizes and awards in the finance sector.
