Iwona Szmidt

Managing Director, Global Fixed Income, Currency & Commodities Operations & OCRM Bank of America

Main Day 1 | 16th September

12:40 PM Panel Interactive with Audience Q&A: Achieving Cross-Asset Standardisation: How can siloed operational teams develop shared processes and platforms to work towards a more harmonised, standardised operating model?

  • Where does cross-asset standardisation drive real value, and where does it risk undermining product expertise?
  • Should firms prioritise process standardisation or technology transformation—and what happens if you get the order wrong?
  • How do you overcome cultural resistance from asset-class silos to enable a shared operating model?
  • Is a truly cross-asset operating model realistic, or will structural and regulatory constraints always limit it?

Main Day 2 | 17th September

11:25 AM Head of Operations Working Group: How do you redesign post-trade operating models for a world that is faster, more fragmented, and geopolitically unstable—without increasing risk? *Chatham House Rule*

  • Moving from asset-class silos towards cross-asset ownership
  • Defining embedded risk and liquidity roles inside operations
  • Building for a globally implemented play book for fragmented market regulations
  • Breaking down siloes between operations, data and technology
