FinTech Magazine December 2019 | Page 3

FOREWORD W elcome to the December edition of FinTech magazine .

“ At the moment , we have more demand than we can handle ,” says Maarten Ectors , Chief Innovation Officer at Legal & General , in this month ’ s cover feature . As we discover , that ’ s no bad thing for Ectors and his Future Ventures team .
He and the small group of innovators that comprise the team seek out and solve what they call ‘ Harry Potter problems ’ – issues , he says , that “ businesses and organisations have tried and failed to solve , and don ’ t know who to turn to for a solution ”. The only remaining course of action for such companies is to approach innovators like Ectors , who are capable of rapidly bringing new technologies and business approaches to the fore that can solve problems cheaper , faster and more effectively than anyone else .
In this issue we also bring you some exclusive content from October ’ s Money20 / 20 USA event . This includes interviews with President of Money20 / 20 , Tracey Davies , and ethical hacker Alissa Knight , who revealed the astonishing results of her recent research at the show .
We also explore the digital journeys of several other leading organisations in the financial services sector , including ING , Meridian Credit Union , Libertex Group and C2FO .
