This podcast is a reunion with an ex-Deutsche Bank colleague, Timo Pfeiffer. Timo had a remarkable 15 years career there and his final role was Managing Director in charge of structured products sales and origination. Then he moved to Solactive a technology-driven index provider. He is the Chief markets officer there and he’s going to tell us how it is to go from investment banking to technology and why data matters so much more for the industry today.
KEY TAKEAWAYS- Despite creating a lot of buzz, there is still a long way to go for ESG investments
- Data is the key to create more impactful and more accurate ESG benchmarks
- The trading floor of investment banks is a very different environment from the tech world but combining both experiences creates a powerful mix
“Coming from an investment banking background and a life on a trading floor it is exciting to be on monthly team meeting with our software engineer team in Berlin. We really combine benefits and learn from each other.”
“About half, our staff are software developers, data scientists, and related functions.”
“The big C before Corona has been Climate. However, that's much more talks and hype. There's still a lot of developments ahead. I have no doubt in my mind that this development will come, but right now there's a big discrepancy between public noise and debate versus the actual investments that are ESG-related.”
