• 245 - Mical Jeanlys-White, CEO: Fintech Series, WealthMore - Democratising Investment Opportunities

  Let us know your thoughts. Send us a Text Message. Follow me to see #HeadsTalk Podcast Audiograms every Monday on LinkedInEpisode Title:🇺🇸Democratising Investment Opportunities🇺🇸I had a fantastic time speaking with my next guest for the 💵 ℙ𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣𝕗𝕦𝕝 𝕎𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟 𝕚𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕥 & 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕪💵 series on HeadsTalk. Rarely do I meet someone who so perfectly mirrors my twin obsessions: mathematics and art. We talked about that familiar tug-of-war between the analytical and the artistic—when your 'maths brain' and your 'creative soul' keep jostling for airtime. It’s a paradox I know well (once explored it in an article some years back), and it was a joy to unpack it with someone who lives it just as vividly. The promo video for this series gave you a subtle glimpse - but trust me, the full conversation, both on and off mic, was a tonic.Mical Jeanlyn-White, Wall Street Executive, MD JP Morgan Chase and currently the CEO of Wealthmore is a powerhouse in the financial industry. She led, for JP Morgan, a $22 Billion Dollar Credit Card Portfolio and launched Innovative Products like My Chase Plan and the Slate and Sapphire Cards.With over 2 decades of leadership in global financial services, she held top executive roles, driving innovation in consumer finance and wealth management at American Express, Nestlé; and Accenture. Topics Covered: ◽️Wall Street's Evolution: Structural Changes, Automation & Talent Shifts◽️New Generation of Wealth Builders◽️Breaking Past Barriers to Wealth◽️Wealthmore: Democratising Financial Advisory◽️The Deepseek Investor Profile◽️Investor vs Borrower Dilemma◽️Future Pension Gaps and Retirement Funds◽️The “Golden Age” of Business?◽️All The Wealth Podcast – Now on SpotifySo download⏳grab a cup of Bird & Blend Tea Co. - Pina Colada Tea ☕️& have a listen🛋Episode Sponsored by◽️Accxia - 𝔼𝕦𝕣𝕠𝕡𝕖'𝕤 𝕃𝕒𝕣𝕘𝕖𝕤𝕥 ℙ𝕣𝕚𝕧𝕒𝕥𝕖 ℂ𝕝𝕠𝕦𝕕 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝔸𝕥𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕒𝕟In Partnership with◽️Money 2020 Europe - Heads Talk Discount code HDT200 ABOUT THE HOST#AFlyOnTheBoardroomWall #HTFintechSeries #HeadsTalkPodcastAll The Wealth Podcast hereSupport the showFollow, Support, Contact Heads Talk - A Fly On The Boardroom Wall LinkedIn Website Twitter Email at [email protected]
