Backoffice technical at financial services firm

More funny anecdote than takeaway. I took a pic of some CEO with the Bloomberg folks at 10:09 on Tuesday. Turned out he was live interview at 10:16... If only I had waited I bit more I could have stuck my head into the frame.

More serious takeaway - met a gentleman who was ex investment banker of 20 years who took the plunge to become a CEO of new crypto exchange venture. Had a very insightful exchange where he talked about different mindset of people from traditional finance background who are more methodical when approaching a problem/project in contrast to the tech background guys who are much more creative. He did note that there is room for ventures of different mixes - where some firms may be more old-school (in terms of strength in ops/compliances) wheres others may be more of the new-school (focus on blitzscaling / pivoting) and not one is strictly better than other.
