Extra episode: Live from OWIN26 – Karl Im Brahm (Objectway) & Eric van der Deijl (ABN AMRO) on AI, resilience, and large-scale transformation

Last month, our colleagues Kees de Wit and Tom van Disseldorp travelled to Sorrento, Italy, at the invitation of Objectway for OWIN26. During this multi-day event, they spoke with C-level leaders and senior decision-makers from across the European financial services industry.

In this extra episode of Leaders in Finance, Tom speaks with Eric van der Deijl, Country Operating Officer Germany at ABN AMRO, and Karl Im Brahm, CEO DAG Region at Objectway.

They reflect on the first days of OWIN26 and discuss topics that are high on the agenda for many financial institutions today: efficiency, resilience, and the practical impact of AI. The conversation also touches on ABN AMRO’s integration of Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe and what it takes to manage complexity in large transformation programs.
