Caved and signed up to Bluesky. Excited to have my full name as my handle over there https://t.co/QDh8Cq6zGO

Oh the return of Melania’s White House Christmas decorations

Also has excellent insight into the entrenched classism of the UK’s education and professional systems which made me want to set things on fire as I screamed in understanding seeing my own experiences written down, but that’s a discussion for another day

[Kimberley Long @kimber_long]

To get your head around the internal machinations of a Trump presidency I strongly recommend There Is Nothing For You Here by Fiona Hill. First hand insight into his presidency, his desire for 80s ‘strong man’ summits, and anti-nuclear war stance

[Kimberley Long @kimber_long]

@AlastairHackney He’s seen the playbook and wants a piece of it for sure. What’s he getting in return for all of his overt support?

[Kimberley Long @kimber_long]

Putting it out there now that the reason Musk has cosied up to Trump is the hope he’ll change the rules about needing to be born in the US to be eligible for President

[Kimberley Long @kimber_long]

And again, finding it incredible in the US someone can simply come in and lead a party and win an election with no prior political experience? I may not have agreed with some UK PMs but at least they’ve got there over several years and after being elected as MPs

[Kimberley Long @kimber_long]

I haven't been watching a lot of US election coverage but Trump doesn't sound well at all in a clip I've just heard on the radio

As if the Americans are holding an election on Viv’s birthday

Drove a car by myself without an instructor or examiner in the car with me for the first time ever. Yes I had to phone Zipcar because I couldn’t start it and didn’t go above about 18mph in Hackney’s 20 zone and it was at 8am but I did it. Small victories.

CFTE team had an amazing time at the Future of Financial Services Summit 2024 @finance_ffs, hosted at Level 39 in London! 🚀

As the financial services industry continues to evolve, the need for talent with both expertise in mastering AI tools and finance domains becomes ever more critical.

From the panel discussion "Leveraging AI to Create Value", featuring Phil Watson, Royston Da Costa, moderated by @kimber_long, we’ve learnt how AI is driving value across industries and societies as a whole

Key takeaways from the discussion 👉
🔷 Leveraging AI in financial services: How AI can leverage repetitive tasks like cash flow forecasting, making treasury management much more efficient and seamless
🔷 Leadership and AI integration: The importance of senior leadership in embracing the younger generation who are resilient in adopting technology advancements and bringing creativity
🔷 Cybersecurity and risk management: With the transformative power of AI, safeguarding data and privacy becomes a crucial role in protecting users and must remain a top priority

Phil Watson also emphasised the importance of education in upskilling the current workforce, and to be more open-minded and stay informed about the latest innovations in the AI-driven era!

Congratulations to Meaghan Johnson and the Future of Financial Services Summit team for organising such a successful event, we extend our gratitude for the invitation.

It was amazing to connect with the fintech ecosystem again and we look forward to connecting soon 👋
