The wealth management industry recognizes that its purpose extends beyond pursuing financial returns. It stands on the foundations of trust and human connections to help individuals live the lives they envision, achieving their dreams and aspirations. However, as technology advances rapidly, one may wonder if automation and artificial intelligence can replace what human advisors bring to the table.

In this episode of Connected, we talk with John Ndege, a former Facebook employee and founder of Pocket Risk, and currently the Founder of Rapid Reply. John shares his journey from working at Facebook to building risk-tolerance software for financial advisors. We discuss the importance of human connections in the wealth management industry and how technology can enhance the client-advisor relationship. 

Having seen a good amount of diversity in his career, John shares his insights about the differences between the US, EU, and UK wealth management industries and the impact of AI on business culture and productivity. 

John also talks about his current venture, Rapid Reply, an AI email system that saves business owners time by helping them write emails faster.
