I've spoken at FSI OneVoice and at FINRA's annual and cybersecurity conferences. My sessions have focused on the technology challenges that matter most to broker-dealers and RIAs: vendor governance, cybersecurity risk management, digital account opening, and the practical realities of evaluating and implementing FinTech solutions in a regulated environment.

If you're interested in having me speak at your event or contribute to a panel, I'd welcome the conversation. Get in touch →
