FSI Transformation at Scale: Sovereignty, Compliance & Production Realities

Every financial institution aspires to become 'AI-native.' They promise hyper-automated engineering, autonomous workflows, and unprecedented speed. But when faced with strict data sovereignty, evolving compliance, and complex production environments, how realistic is this goal? Is an AI-native FSI truly achievable, or just a regulatory pipe dream?

In this candid fireside chat, Sergiu Petean (EMEA Field CTO at Atlassian) is joined by Baris Yorganci (Head of Division at BarmeniaGothaer, a leading German insurance group) to dissect the true pace and feasibility of AI-driven transformation. Moving beyond traditional retail banking, they explore actionable lessons from across the broader ecosystem—including high-velocity neo-banks, digital insurers, and innovative MGAs.
Rather than treating regulation as an insurmountable barrier, Sergiu and his guest will map out how leading institutions turn data sovereignty, compliance requirements, and production constraints into structural guardrails for safe, scalable AI innovation.
