Ageas Portugal, Portugal
Learning is part of my job and something I constantly pursue also in my personal life.
When it comes to professional learning, I have three main sources: attending international conferences (sometimes luckily also speaking there),
McKinsey and Efma.
Efma provides members with priceless sources of information,
from an opened knowledge base to learning opportunities and knowledge sharing forums.
The progress Efma made in recent times is quite impressive, and I’m sure they will not stop there.

PhillipBank decided to join Efma so that we can learn and study from other industry players on the latest trend in banking and digitalization space (…), to be able to serve our customers beyond just their banking needs. Although we recently joined, we already started to see the benefits. By attending the RBAS event and assessing the various papers on Efma website, we have become more aware and conscious of the future trend of the banking industry worldwide. From this awareness, we are now more open to adopt new technology and embrace digitalization process in order to help resolve the pain points of our customers in Cambodia.
