  • 33: How AI Is Reshaping the Market Data Backbone

    33: How AI Is Reshaping the Market Data Backbone
    Dec 8 2025
    In this episode of Financial Markets iNSiGHTS, host Clive Posselt speaks with Philip William, Chief Product Officer at AiMi, about how firms are rethinking this challenge through automation and agentic AI. They explore why manual interpretation still dominates despite decades of trading automation, how trust and auditability shape adoption, and why freeing specialists from low-value triage work is now a resilience strategy - not a cost one.

    Drawing on deep experience with global trading firms, Philip explains how AI-driven “digital analysts” can help firms keep pace with rising change volumes, tighter resources and expanding market hours. The conversation sheds light on the cultural shift underway and why contextual intelligence - not just automation - is becoming essential for staying compliant and competitive.

    32: From Code to Culture: Building Real Capability in Financial Technology Teams
    Oct 9 2025
    In Financial Markets, where technology moves fast and precision is critical, training is more than onboarding, it’s how firms build lasting capability.

    In this episode of Financial Markets iNSiGHTS, host Tina Kane speaks with Michael Clarke, CEO of Mallon Associates, about the evolving role of practitioner-led learning in shaping productive, resilient technology teams. Together, they explore why traditional, off-the-shelf courses often fall short in complex financial environments, how hybrid working challenges institutional knowledge and why real-world capability, not generic KPIs, should define success.

    Drawing on decades of partnership with global financial institutions, Michael shares how embedding training within live client environments can accelerate onboarding, improve retention and strengthen both people and systems. The conversation redefines what “productive from day one” really means and why capability, culture and context matter more than ever.
