Creating the Goldilocks of events
Thursday 15 November 2018
Ages ago I wrote a blog about my observations attending events and conferences (for the past 25 loooooong years).

Barclays, Transferwise and the curse of Sassy Magazine
Friday 09 November 2018
I was 14 years old when I put my August 1986 copy of Seventeen magazine in the trash. I remember it well. I was at my family’s beach house close to Cape Cod. It was the ‘Back to School’ issue. Jennifer Connelly was on the cover. She looked beautiful, tall and slim with long thick

How to be a moderator – a fool proof guide
Wednesday 03 October 2018
The first time I was asked to speak in public it was to moderate a panel. If I remember correctly, it was for an event on risk management held in Frankfurt. I was deep in the risk world at that time – it was the era of Basel II and super-fast Monte Carlo simulations. ‘FinTech’

#NoBarStools
Thursday 27 September 2018
A few years ago, at a popular ‘FinTech innovation demo show’ in London, a Russian payments company brought out the scantily clad ‘Miss Russia’ to demonstrate how the audience could use their payments app to purchase her clothing line on the internet.
