Matthias Kröner
Matthias “mk” Kröner is a highly respected thought leader within the global financial services community when it comes to planning, building and operating disruptive and customer-centric banking business models. The tech enthusiast is one of few people worldwide who has co-founded two digital banks, serving them as entrepreneur and CEO.
Matthias “mk” Kroener was until March 31, 2019 CEO, co-founder and shareholder of Fidor Group, a Munich-headquartered digital and mobile bank and financial services technology provider. Under his leadership, Fidor has grown massively. Today, Fidor acts globally (running offices in Dubai, Munich, New York and Singapore), operates in BtoC and BtoB and has received a string of awards for its innervational capability. Before Fidor, mk co-created Europe’s first digital bank and online broker, DAB bank, and served as its CEO.
As a thought leader, mk is known as an inspirational keynote speaker. He is also a successful incubator for several highly innovative start-up companies.

A truly digital debt-servicing platform (“DSP”) driving the future of financial services.
One obvious way improving a bank´s EBT without creating the need of additional equity is decreasing the rate of NPLs. But, how to achieve that?Today´s world of Data and AI allow new approaches which do not only improve a bank´s EBT but also the customer experience. Re:ceeve is offering such a solution which is why mk supports that company as a business angel and senior advisor.

Helping Leaders & Entrepreneurs to achieve their ambitious goals
More than anything else, Fintech is a Culture-Game, not a Tech-Game, which is why mk is sharing his leadership experience as a member of the supervisory board.
On top, HR-Management has to understand that the digital and mobile lifestyle also is changing the behaviour of a companies team. Tools of HR management must reflect that development.
