From Uber to Oval with Benedetta Arese Lucini 0
Dec 19, 2017
Benedetta Arese Lucini is the co-founder of Oval Money, an app helping people save more and improve their financial lives.
 
Prior to starting Oval Money, Benedetta ran Uber in Italy, launching it in that country and running it for three years. And what a journey that was. We get into that experience, which is mind blowing.
 
In addition to her interest in tech and fintech, Benedetta is an advocate for political reform and women's rights in Italy and a radio broadcaster.
 
It was a blast catching up with Benedetta and getting into some of her personal story.
 
Let us know what you think of today's episode. Tweet at us @rebankpodcast or connect on LinkedIn or Facebook.
 
Thank you very much for joining us today. Please welcome, Benedetta Arese Lucini.
Will Your Next Bank be a Tech Giant? with Alessandro Hatami 0
Dec 12, 2017
Alessandro Hatami is the former Group Innovation Director at Lloyds Banking Group and current Managing Partner at Forestreet.
 
Alessandro bring a grown-up view to fintech. Working closely with incumbents on fintech strategy, he has great insight into the way larger players are positioning themselves in a changing FS landscape. Today, we get into what big tech players are likely to do with regards to banking, and what that means for banks.
 
I assure you the conversation itself is much more interesting than this intro, which with references to banks and banking sounds pretty dull. Maybe big tech will do away with banking as we know it and get rid of the term all together. We'll see.
 
This topic is so ripe for debate. Will financial services survive the arrival of social media giants? Let us know on Twitter @rebankpodcast.
 
Thank you very much for joining us today. Please welcome, Alessandro Hatami.
The Future of Investments with Ella Rabener 0

I think this is one of the most interesting conversions we've ever had on the show. It's a bit long, but it's highly worth listening to through to the end. Ella drove this discussion across a range of topics, including raising a 30m Euro round from Blackrock, what she learned in 8 years at McKinsey, what we can do to address the gender imbalance in the workplace, and what the future of investing will look like.
