Fintech Finance Podcasts: The FF Salon Pilot with Raf De Kimpe – Full Audio

The financial services industry can sometimes feel vast and intimidating. Conferences and gatherings of the community are essential because they give the sector time to reflect and talk to other members of their group. This is a notion Raf De Kimpe, the CEO of Fintech Week London is all too familiar with.

De Kimpe, also the CCO of The Fintech Times, took the time before his interview with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to join us at the FF Salon and discuss the purpose of his momentous event and what it provides to the players in the fintech industry.

“Fintechs that are diverse and inclusive and have a societal value, those are my favourite ones”

Across the two-day conference, the event sought to challenge the idea of “the coming of age of fintech,” with speakers and partners reflecting on what they have achieved, and what they can do better. For De Kimpe, who has been leading the event since 2021, the big aims for the future are to try new things and keep the priorities of Fintech Week London aligned with people in fintech.

“Fintechs that are diverse and inclusive and have a societal value, those are my favourite ones,”  said De Kimpe. “If you look at what fintech can do for people, I try to make sure that we work with those that make extra value in people’s lives by helping them move forward.”
