Marc Schröter

I lead Product & Technology at SimCorp, part of Deutsche Börse Group. 1,600 people across product management, engineering and platform operations. We build the platform many of the world's largest asset managers and owners run on. 25+ years in this industry, and this is the most interesting moment I've seen. The investment industry runs on technology. The firms that treat it as a core platform — not a set of separate capabilities — will win. AI is the biggest shift in decades. It changes what software does, and how we build it. I believe the firms and software companies that get this right will operate very differently within a few years. I'd rather prove that than read about it. What I care about: products that solve real problems for buy-side institutions, front to back. And organizations where great engineers and product people can move fast and do their best work. I stay hands-on. I still prototype with AI tools myself. You can't lead a technology organization from a distance. Member of SimCorp's Executive Committee. Board member at Performativ and Copenhagen Fintech. I keynote on SimCorp products, investment technology and AI.
