Description

Welcome to the Better Tech Leadership podcast, where we connect with tech leaders from all over the world to share their know-how on bridging the gap between business and tech.


In this episode, host Matt Warcholinski, Co-Founder of software development agency Brainhub talks with Stefan Willebrand, Founder and Chairman of Steglan Capital.


During the conversation they cover:

  • Mergers and Acquisitions: Understanding the two primary approaches to mergers: integrating acquisitions into a unified vision or maintaining them as separate silos.
  • Technical and Product Considerations During Mergers: Recognizing the importance of a clear leadership structure, especially in technology and product aspects, during mergers to avoid conflicts and inefficiencies.
  • Navigating the Stock Exchange as a Listed Company: Evaluating the pros and cons of listing a company on the stock exchange, considering factors like profitability, market conditions, and regulatory requirements.
  • Future Trends in Fintech and Financial Markets: Anticipating trends in fintech, including the slow but steady shift towards API-based financial administration and the need for simpler, cheaper products for consumers.
  • Economic Outlook and Investment Strategies for 2025: Preparing for potential market corrections and consider investments in Asia and gold as alternatives to overvalued Western markets.
