Speaking and Media

Conversations About What’s Next.

Exploring the intersection of retirement, technology, AI, customer experience (CX), and growth.

The future of retirement and financial services is being shaped by rapid changes in technology, artificial intelligence, customer expectations, distribution, and the evolving relationship between digital experiences and human advice.

I enjoy exchanging ideas with industry leaders, organizations, journalists, podcasts, conferences, and professional communities exploring those changes.

Drawing on more than two decades of leadership experience— working within the financial services industry—I bring a perspective that connects business strategy, technology, distribution, product, customer experience, and transformation.
