Meeting with Stefano Barrese - Banca Intesa San Paolo

An interesting discussion on the evolution of the banks 

On May 30 the Digital Management students had the opportunity to meet Stefano Barrese, one of the top manager of Banca Intesa Sanpaolo.

Stefano Barrese has been in charge of the Banca dei Territori Division (domestic commercial banking) since January 2016. 
After receiving a degree in Economics and Business from the LUISS University of Rome in 1993, he was enrolled in the Register of Chartered Accountants and the Register of Official Auditors in Rome.
He started his career in 1995 with Arthur Andersen before moving on to Erg Petroli. He joined the Planning Department of Banca Intesa in 1998. After the merger between Banca Intesa and Sanpaolo IMI, he held several positions, including Head of Capital Management in the Planning, Capital Management and Synergy Control Department and Head of Planning in the Planning and Control head office Department. Mr Barrese has been with the Banca dei Territori Division since 2013. He was head of the Planning and Control Department, the Marketing Department and, subsequently, the Sales and Marketing Area.
He currently sits on the boards of ABI (Italian Banking Association), Bancomat, SSD LUISS and Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center.

Bank means more and more technology: online banking, data security, cybersecurity, coin management, blockchain... 

The students had the opportunity to reflect on all these issues, on the role of bank branches, and on 

digital bank versus traditional bank .
