In this episode of the In Conversation podcast series, Alan Livsey, CFA, is joined by Sarah Maynard, ASIP Global Head of External Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at CFA Institute, to discuss the launch of a new DEI code in the US and Canada earlier this year. The code has been designed to drive the industry DEI agenda forward and define key principles for firms to implement. Helping those from underrepresented communities looking to enter the industry, and afford opportunities to those already in it to build a more inclusive investment profession.

Episode 33 – Guiding the industry on improving Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Ben Ashby and Tom Threfall spoke to Rachel Curtis, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder at Inicio AI. Having begun her journey in traditional finance, her deep curiosity and approach to problem-solving over the years led her to start an artificial intelligence company called Inicio AI. Inicio is transforming how people deal with debt using virtual agents. She explores how artificial intelligence is creating a major shift in many sectors including financial services and the effectiveness of using AI within niche areas.

Episode 3: AI-Powered Solutions for Debt Dilemmas

The first of two episodes recorded in partnership with CFA UK on the subject of Fintech for 2020, where we interviewed a number of the speakers who were due to present at their Fintech Forum.  

The event itself was meant to have taken place in London in March, but as a precautionary measure, to minimise the risk of the Coronavirus, CFA UK took the decision to cancel the event, however they weren’t prepared to let COVID-19 beat the podcast, and so we recorded all our interviews online.

In this episode: 

1/ Holly Black, Senior Editor, Morning Star interviewed Richard Davies, Group Chief Operating Officer, Revolut about the growth of the company.
 
2/ Nikola Tchouparov, Co-Founder and CEO, Moneyfold Ltd talked about Blockchain and cryptocurrency
		
3/ Iuliia Shpak, Quantitative Strategies Specialist, Sarasin & Partners discussed Machine learning in practice
