For this edition we spoke with Marcel Prins, Robeco’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), on technological changes in the industry. Marcel is a distinguished figure in the financial industry, providing a wealth of technological and operational experience and insights which are fundamental for understanding the current and future technology landscape of our industry.
Marcel has built a career in the financial industry that represents his fascination with technology and innovation, which already began in his youth. His entrance into finance was not a deliberate choice, but rather unanticipated. A consulting firm assignment within finance was the trigger for his move into the financial industry. His academic background in Informatics led him to a technology innovation department at the GAK (nowadays UWV). At that time, he already appreciated the practical application of technology that is front and center during the remainder of the conversation.
