Massimo Tumolo is GenAI Innovation Lead at ABN AMRO, where he leads the discovery, development, rollout, and scaling of Generative AI solutions in a highly regulated environment. He combines a background in Software Engineering and Innovation with hands-on product leadership experience.
Over his career, Massimo has developed AI solutions and led initiatives from concept to global scale — most notably Predictive Maintenance services to reduce unplanned downtime. More recently, he scaled a GenAI product within ABN AMRO that delivers 30–35% time savings in processes now adopted by over 700 employees.
He focuses on turning emerging technologies into practical, scalable solutions by working closely across business and technology teams. He is particularly interested in how large organisations can drive real transformation from within — not through pilots, but through products that stick.
Outside of work, he is passionate about food, fitness, and animal welfare.
Three young professionals, three transitions — AI inside a regulated bank, the energy and heat transition, and the AI Act as it moves from paper into practice. All three are close to the front line of change most organisations are still figuring out how to handle.
This isn't a panel about what's holding progress back. It's a fireside chat — the kind of honest conversation that only happens once the framework slides are gone. What does it actually feel like to carry responsibility before you feel ready for it? Where have you doubted yourself, and what got you through it? What's a moment you got it wrong, and what did it teach you?
Three different fields, but the same human questions underneath: how do you stay grounded when you're moving faster than the people around you expect? What do you tell yourself on the days it doesn't feel like enough?
An open, personal conversation between three people who are figuring this out in real time — not because they have it all worked out, but because they're honest about what it takes.
What would you tell the person one step behind you — not about the rules, but about how it feels?
