FRP Breakfast Club: Fintech in focus

Friday July 14, 2023

We hosted an event with fellow industry experts to explore the key findings from our fintech report.

To mark the launch of our fintech report, we hosted a breakfast event this week to explore the key findings.

Panelists included FRP Restructuring Advisory Partner, Dan Conway, alongside Amy Gallimore, Restructuring & Insolvency Partner at Womble Bond Dickinson; Andrew Jackson, Managing Director of Swishfund; and Dan Walker, Senior Finance Professional.

The panel of industry experts led the conversation which examined the results of our survey of more than 250 senior decision-makers within the industry, as well as the opportunities and challenges faced by the sector.

Key insights explored by the panel included the importance of contingency planning; the challenge for regulators to balance innovation with consumer protection; and the 3M’s of monetisation, maturity and market sentiment.

The success female leaders in particular are seeing within the sector was also discussed by the panel – as despite women historically being underrepresented in senior roles in the sector, 55% of female decision makers said their firm had grown in value in the past year, compared to 38% of males we surveyed.
