SVP Business Development, Sell Side Arcesium

Main Day 2 | 17th September

9:50 AM Innovation Panel: Data as a strategic asset: How can you standardise data products while meeting bespoke client and key company requirements to enhance performance and generate greater business value?

  • Who should own data as a product—operations, technology, or a central function—and what are the consequences of getting it wrong?
  • Is true decoupling of data from legacy systems achievable, or is it an overambitious goal for most banks?
  • What is the biggest blocker to unlocking data's value—quality, architecture, culture, or regulation—and how are you addressing it?

10:20 AM Fire Side Chat: Sunsetting legacy infrastructures: How can you most effectively manage the transition away from outdated tools and systems whilst maintaining business as usual?

  • What factors determine whether you pursue a parallel rebuild vs. incremental migration, and how do you manage the risks associated with each approach? 
  • How do you ensure data integrity and lineage when migrating from legacy systems, particularly when historical data quality is inconsistent? 
  • In a live trading environment, how do you balance business continuity and revenue pressures with the need to decommission legacy platforms? 
  • What role are emerging technologies—particularly AI and automation—playing in accelerating legacy system exit, especially in areas like data cleansing and exception handling?
