Join this webinar with Sergiu Petean — Field CTO, Solutions Strategy & Ops at Atlassian — as he explores how financial services leaders can balance AI innovation with responsible governance, resilience, and regulatory expectations. The main presentation is recorded in advance, followed by a live Q&A with Sergiu on the webinar day.

Sergiu brings more than 15 years of experience leading large-scale cloud and engineering transformations across financial services, insurance, and high-growth technology, including senior leadership roles at Allianz Direct. He will draw on this experience to offer a practical perspective on responsible AI, compliance, and modern ways of working in highly regulated environments.

Sergiu will share how technology and compliance can work together to drive innovation rather than hinder it, including how regulations such as PSD2 and DORA can support transformation and resilience. The session will cover practical approaches to responsible AI and continuous assurance, followed by live audience Q&A.
