Keynote Speakers
Michael Campbell

Michael says the international perspective he gained by attending graduate school in the UK as well as Canada before studying and working both in New York and Vancouver with Merrill Lynch, the world’s biggest investment firm at the time was essential to gaining the international perspective necessary to understand and anticipate the risks and opportunities in the aftermath of the current crisis.
