I was invited to speak at the 14th East Coast Family Office Conference, organized by DC Finance in New York. Mark Minevich invited me to his GenAI panel together with an impressive lineup including among others:
- Hanna Helin: global head of technology innovation at London Stock Exchange,
- Robert Opp: chief digital officer of UN development programme,
- Buka Gurgenidze-Steinau: head of AI/ML at Memorial Sloan Kettering,
- Francesca Rossi IBM’s AI ethics global leader.
Great co-panelists at the Family Offices conference in NY. We of course then took a selfie as a group. Let’s stay close as we go down this GenAI journey together.

- Robert Opp, chief digital officer UNDP

We also had a couple more people who were talking to audience members and couldn’t join us. Thank you Francesca Rossi, IBM AI fellow and president of AAAI (this is a big deal btw).
