Summary
In this episode, co-hosts Emma McGrattan and Ole Olesen-Bagneux sit down with Lukas Plaehn, Head of Data Office at Bank of Valletta, to explore what makes data so hard to manage in financial institutions—and why that challenge goes deeper than technology. From Malta’s sun-soaked shores to the global stage of regulatory compliance, Lukas brings a thoughtful voice to some of the industry's most complex issues. Together, they explore: Why trust—not technology—is the core tension in financial data management. The layered legacy of banks, and how smart people can slow transformation. What systemic banks are, and why regulators are making data quality the law. How ontologies, data contracts, and shared models are reshaping the industry. Why BI is blurring with operational tech, and how this could finally close the loop from reporting to prediction. 🎧 Tune in for an insightful look into what it takes to modernize data in one of the world’s most risk-averse industries.
