Niels Pedersen- Author of 'Financial Technology: Case Studies in Fintech Innovation', and Senior Lecturer- Manchester Metropolitan University

What can we learn about why people get tempted into bad choices through their own life narratives and the incentives and circumstances they are exposed to, from its portrayal in film? Quite a lot, it seems!  Gemma Rogers, Co-Founder, FINTRAIL sits down with Niels to explore all of this, and more, based on the 1993 American legal thriller 'The Firm'.  Niels Pedersen is the author of Financial Technology: Case Studies in Fintech Innovation. He is a Chartered Accountant and Senior Lecturer on Manchester Metropolitan University’s MSc Financial Technology degree. Before entering academia, he worked at PwC and the Prudential Regulation Authority. In addition to his university teaching, Niels conducts corporate training seminars on technology-related topics. His thoughts have been featured in Newsweek, the Financial Times, and on BBC Radio Scotland.
