Firstly, it was a great honour to be asked by the Financial Academy, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s financial services learning and development body, to join thought leaders from Ernst and Young, and the Creative Leadership Institute, to discuss the future of the financial services industry and the actions the regions financial services organisations need to take today in order to prepare themselves and their employees for it in Riyhad.

Perhaps most importantly of all I then also discussed how a Smart Fridge can disrupt your bank, how Robo-Advisors could end up paying everyone a Universal Basic Income, and how crypto mining could help governments eliminate all taxes on citizens.
