Extra episode: Martijn Gribnau (Quant) – agentic AI, innovation vs. regulation, the future of banking, and life after ASN Bank

Former ASN Bank CEO Martijn Gribnau returns to Leaders in Finance — almost five years after his first appearance.

From leading a major Dutch bank to helping build agentic AI company Quant in New York: what has he learned about leadership, innovation, and the future of financial services?

In this episode, Martijn shares why AI will fundamentally change banking, why Europe risks falling behind the US and China, what boards and CEOs should do today, and why “not experimenting” may now be the biggest risk.
