Episode Title:-🇺🇸Impact Investing and Philanthropic Endeavours🇺🇸

Heads Talk has really been fortunate with the guests we have had on the show and this continues with an admirable individual who has been working above and beyond as an executive in the social sector. She not just talks or writes about issues, she with her team and organisation, actively finds ways to resolve them. ‘We are all agents of history’. We all need to share the responsibility of how we treat the planet and each other.’

Jacqueline Bouvier Copeland is a renowned academic, a social and environmental justice leader, an ESG expert, recognised by #Congress as a HistoryMaker for her innovative civic contributions; and she is the #CEO of the WISEfund.org. 

Her work is a lifeline for countless female entrepreneurs in the underrepresented areas across the globe. This really was a wonderful conversation. I urge you to listen to the full episode. Links to some of the topics discussed can be found in the episode description on whichever platform you download.

Episode Title: 🇭🇰UBS, The Netflix of Banking🇭🇰

In this episode of Heads Talk,  I am thrilled to be joined by Amy Lo, Co-Head of UBS Wealth Management Asia Pacific, the #Head and Chief Executive of UBS Hong Kong as well as a Group Managing Director at UBS.  This 

Amy and her team are changing (or Digitalising) the Wealth Management Game and have successfully developed some innovate solutions for their clients to manage their portfolio. APAC didn’t create 831 billionaires, representing 38% of the billionaire global population by accident. Since 2019, 1 in every 2 days a billionaire in the APAC region is minted. Amy will discuss how some of this is done. 

There were so many great pointers in this discussion with Amy, I was spoilt for choice with what to use for the audiogram. Amy is an audacious leader and this is shown in the discussion we’ve had. UBS APAC is doing so many impressive things and you have to listen to the full episode to get a taste of the work that is being done there with Amy and her team. In fact, they have done it ‘MyWay’.

Episode Title:-🇺🇸Verizon’s Change Agent🇺🇸

Another inspirational episode on @Heads Talk today. I am delighted to say this week’s episode with Ronan Dunne, Group CEO & Executive Vice President of Verizon Consumer Group, was filled with so much information about the organisation's modus operandi and in parallel we get to find out a bit more about Ronan’s leadership, passions and drivers.  

He is one of those individuals you can listen to all day long and not realise the time. It was such a relaxing conversation and I had to remind myself that he is responsible for over 100 million customers and approximately $100 billion turnover in the US for @Verizon. 

Fascinating discussion with Ronan, who hypothesized on many of the issues and challenges we face today in terms of sustainability, youth education and so many more. You’ll have to download to get all the details.
