As part of the 10th anniversary of FR2S – Federation for Recruitment, Search & Selection, Glawdys Costant interviewed Phil Brown, CEO of Clearstream Banking, to discuss the future of finance in Luxembourg and the structural challenges ahead.
The discussion addressed key transformations reshaping the financial sector, including tokenization, digital finance and technological acceleration. However, beyond innovation itself, the central theme was clear: Luxembourg’s competitiveness is fundamentally about talent.
Phil Brown shared his perspective on how the country can:
- Attract highly skilled international profiles
- Develop digital and financial expertise locally
- Retain talent in an increasingly competitive global market
- Strengthen Luxembourg’s positioning as both a financial and talent hub
The conversation also explored career acceleration, international branding, and the structural conditions required to sustain long-term economic development.
This interview was conducted in the context of fr2s’ 10-year milestone. Glwadys Costant, who served as Co-President of the federation until February, contributed actively to shaping dialogue at the intersection of recruitment, competitiveness and financial evolution in Luxembourg.
A decade after its creation, fr2s continues to foster strategic conversations connecting recruitment, talent development and the country’s long-term economic ambitions.
