Key takeaways include:

• Businesses that want to capitalise on digital disruption of financial services require leaders with the vision to deliver effective solutions to new business challenges.

• Companies need a whole range of skill sets at the C-suite level to prepare for the disruptive challenges ahead, beyond digital knowledge.

• A new style of digital leadership has emerged to drive transformation from the top.

• Digital leaders drive disruptive vision, delegate authority, ferment new cultures and are fully focused on client-centric execution of business strategy. 

• FinTech leaders need the flexibility to mix this new leadership style with elements of authority-based and high-performance leadership. 

• An advisory board can be a useful complement to digital leadership, providing a sounding board on key decisions and access to additional expertise.

• Finding digital leaders with the right cultural fit to an organisation requires an in-depth knowledge of its vision, competencies and precise needs.
