Inside the Leaders’ Summit Europe: new podcast episode live

The second of two special episodes of the Finance Connect European Equipment Finance Podcast, sponsored by Alfa and recorded following the Finance Connect Leaders’ Summit Europe 2026 in Cologne in March, is now available to stream.

Hosted by Richard O’Donohue, the episode brings together senior voices from across Finance Connect – including Edward Peck (CEO), Eva Lindsay (COO), David Betteley (auto finance community head) and John Rees (equipment finance community head) – to reflect on the themes, discussions and industry sentiment coming out of this year’s Summit.

Now in its third year, the conversation explores what makes the Finance Connect European Leaders’ Summit such a distinctive event, from its carefully curated, invitation-only format to the depth of peer-to-peer discussion it enables.

The episode also touches on some of the big questions facing the industry today – from macroeconomic uncertainty and regulation, to AI, evolving business models and the changing dynamics across both auto and equipment finance. As with the Summit itself, the discussion balances realism with a strong sense of opportunity.

Along the way, the group shares their perspectives on how the day unfolded, how the mood shifted, and what it all means for the future of the European asset finance market.

If you want a concise, insider view of the conversations shaping the industry – and a flavour of what’s to come next in 2027 – this episode is well worth a listen.
