Opening Keynote: Leading change that sticks: From mandate to mindset in asset management ops
Mandy Rawlinson - Head of UK and EMEA - Aberdeen Investments
As transformation accelerates, operational change must go deeper than systems and processes. This session unpacks how asset managers are tackling the human side of change—from aligning stakeholders to embedding new ways of working. Hear from leaders who’ve navigated complex transformations and learn how they build lasting engagement, overcome resistance, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
Key Discussion Points:
- Learn how to move from abstract strategy to embedded behavioural change across ops, data, and tech teams
- Tactics for sustaining momentum in environments facing compounding transformation pressures (regulatory, tech, growth)
- Discuss how to engage and equip team leaders to cascade and sustain change effectively
- Explore how to build change frameworks that support governance, but allow agility and adaptation as transformation unfolds
Speakers:
- Mandy Rawlinson, Head of UK and EMEA, Aberdeen Investments
- Archana Mohan, Chief Operations and Technology Officer, Navera Investment Management
