Risk management for an interconnected world
Tuesday 01 October 2019
The gang at FNA not only appreciate the complexity of mapping multifaceted relationships to better understand modern financial markets, they also take the time to appreciate Mancunian beer that showcases local artists. What is FNA – what problem are you solving? Since the financial crisis of 2007–2008, regulators and supervisors have recognised the interconnected nature

Ceri Godwin, Director of Growth & Advisory, EmTech, Santander UK sat down with us after the FinTECHTalents Steering Committee ‘donuts & danish’ breakfast this summer.

Ask our Doers, our Dreamers, Our Rockstar Speakers

Wouldn’t it be great to #AskaRockStar your most pressing questions? We think so as well. I mentioned last week that most people go to events to learn something and/or to network (and they rarely get both). While our community managers are busy working on the connections being scheduled for the FinTECHTalents – we thought we

Eight weeks to go – And I am getting emotional!
Tuesday 10 September 2019
You may have noticed we are making noise here at FinTECHTalents (and AITECHTalents and RegTECHTalents) Towers. We’re shouting about our Steering Committee, our awesome speakers, our partners (who are busy gearing up to tell their stories at the Festival). Over 300 financial institutions hold Festival passes today – and that number is growing every day.

For FinTech, AI and RegTech – Welcome back to school!
Wednesday 04 September 2019
September, when summer has started to give up its fight and the smell of a freshly sharpened pencil can send your mind back to 1985 and Mr. Brown’s Algebra class. Despite it being, technically, over half way through the year – the autumn freshness and Back to School vibe will always represent a fresh start

We sat down with Charles Radclyffe, Head of AI at Fidelity International during the AITECHTalents Steering Committee ‘Donut & Danish’ breakfast meet up earlier this summer.

FinTech – A cause worth fighting for
Monday 05 August 2019

The event for people who do and need ‘to do’
Tuesday 16 July 2019
I wandered around the exhibition hall of a FinTech conference, late last year. It doesn’t really matter which one – I have attended, covered, organised and spoken at so many of these events over the years – many of them combine into one generic spectacle. The speakers on the agenda include the head of digital
