I was very pleased to speak this week to the CQF Institute, which offer qualifications in Quantitative Finance.

I had a global online audience, who heard me speak about how their profession would be affected by the impact of AI. I also discussed the impact on them as individuals, and the need for them to re-invent themselves during the course of the careers, drawing reference to my own personal career journey. You can see the recording here.

I have to be perfectly honest, this was a difficult event for me to prepare for. These men and women are all super intelligent, and I felt very much like the least clever guy in the room. It took me a while beforehand to carefully craft my presentation so that, by the day of the event, I felt confident enough to speak with some degree of authority.

And then, when the recording started, it was a bit like stepping off the high diving board – you are committed, and there’s no going back !

Anyway, I was pleased to get some really good feedback ‘ ‘Very insightful’, ‘I’m so impressed with your thought leadership’, ‘Great session’ etc – so it makes it all worthwhile.
