Extra episode: Live from OWIN26 – Alexander Cassar (Objectway) on trust, AI, and scaling wealth management

Last month, our colleagues Kees de Wit and Tom van Disseldorp travelled to Sorrento, Italy, at the invitation of Objectway for OWIN26. During this multi-day event, they spoke with C-level leaders and senior decision-makers from across the European financial services industry.

In this extra episode of Leaders in Finance, Tom speaks with Alexander Cassar, CEO UK at Objectway.

They explore how wealth management firms can scale through modular, composable platforms while remaining client-centric. The conversation covers operational excellence, the impact of AI, and the importance of balancing customisation with efficiency. Alexander also shares his perspective on why trust continues to be the most underestimated driver in financial services.
