Public Speaking & International Technology Events

Conference appearances and conversations around fintech, technology, data and digital transformation.

Over the years, I have taken part in international technology and financial-industry events both as a speaker and as a technology executive representing the businesses I was building. In China, many of those conversations sat at the intersection of fintech, consumer finance, data, AI, risk and regulation. The photographs below capture a few of those moments: the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, the Consumer Finance 50 Forum and the China Consumer Finance Development Conference, where I presented MS Consumer Finance and spoke about FinTech development. What stays with me most is not the formal stage itself, but the practical conversations around how quickly technology was changing financial services.

A conversation in the World Internet Conference venue. I have always found these exchanges between sessions just as valuable as the formal programme: ideas become much more concrete when people compare what is actually happening in their markets.
