Fintech Fat, Happy and Falling Behind with Monika Liikamaa

The Nordic fintech scene is about to have its Nokia moment. And Monika Liikamaa is one of the few people willing to say it out loud.In this candid conversation hosted by Christie H.Kristensen, they we delve into the things the industry keeps dancing around:— Why the Nordics have been coasting on a reputation that's starting to expire— Europe innovates 30% of the world's ideas and commercialises 2%. What the hell is going on?— Why the EU sometimes feels like the world's most expensive book club— The 2% VC funding stat that everyone misreads — it's a consequence, not the problem— Why women aren't pitching big enough (and what "big enough" actually looks like)— How banks lost the plot by choosing compliance theatre over customer obsession— Why Revolut is eating everyone's lunch — and how they turned on the fees and nobody flinched— Social media, the algorithm, and why Monika is still hopeful about the next generation— Writing your own eulogy as a leadership tool— And the two words that kept coming up in every single topic: just do.This is the kind of conversation fintech actually needs more of.
