WORK HISTORY
Public Speaker @Mayer Brown
US
For over 20 years, I have been helping big banks in big trouble. I speak on a wide variety of topics that keep managers of banks, fintechs and other financial services companies up at night. My recent presentations have included \"Developments in FinTech Compliance and Enforcement,\"\"Using machine learning and alternative data for underwriting: addressing regulatory and public acceptance,\"\"Issues in the regulation of the blockchain ecosystem,\"\"Regulation of ICOs, crypto currencies (virtual currencies), and blockchain consortiums,\"\"Attorney-Client Privilege for Financial Institutions in Internal Investigations, Audits and Bank Regulatory Exams,\" and \"OFAC: 2017 Year in Review - Sanctions Programs Developments and Enforcement Trends.\"I present at at a variety of events including seminars, webinars, forums, conferences, conventions, and professional associations meetings. I routinely speak with journalists and have appeared on TV and in print media. I\'ve always enjoyed public speaking, although I\'ve never gotten quite used to the sound of my own voice when I hear it played back on a recording. This interest may go back to my over-the-top performance of Senior Don Gato in elementary school, or my high school presentation on Zen Buddhism that got rave reviews. I still try to bring a sense of fun, whimsy and curiosity to every topic I speak about.
