    Conor Hillery | J.P. Morgan Co-CEO EMEA | Banking Europe's Next Decade

    🎙 Trinity SMF Podcast | Conor Hillery | Co-CEO of J.P. Morgan EMEA Matthew Barnes sits down with Conor Hillery - Co-Chief Executive of J.P. Morgan for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Head of Investment Banking for the region. Conor grew up in Dublin, studied commerce at UCD and trained as a chartered accountant at KPMG, before an advert in the Irish Times took him to London six weeks later. He joined Cazenove in 2002, came into J.P. Morgan when the firm was acquired, and has spent the years since building its investment banking franchise across Europe. In this conversation, he explains why Europe has fallen behind on competitiveness, where the €1.2 trillion a year of investment the continent needs is going to come from, and why US buyers are circling UK companies trading at a 40% discount. Conor also discusses co-leadership, what he looks for in the people he hires, and why he worries that AI may stop the next generation from ever learning the fundamentals.

    Jim Chanos | Founder of Kynikos Associates | Enron, Beyond Meat, and the "Golden Age of Fraud"

    🎙 Trinity SMF Podcast | Jim Chanos | Inside the Golden Age of FraudMatthew Barnes sits down with Jim Chanos - founder of Kynikos Associates, the short seller who called Enron, and lecturer on the history of financial fraud at Yale.Jim's career began in 1980, when Wall Street was so far out of favour that he earned more in three months at a steel mill than in his first full year in finance. The first major company he analysed, Baldwin-United, became the largest bankruptcy in US history. Two decades later he read Enron's footnotes and recognised the same accounting. In between he was fired by Deutsche Bank over a front-page story about short sellers, and turned that firing into Kynikos Associates.In this conversation, he reflects on how bubbles repeat across cycles, what Baldwin-United and Enron had in common, why he calls this the golden age of fraud, and what the AI capital expenditure boom has in common with the telecom build-out.For podcast enquiries please contact mabarnes@tcd.ie🔔 Subscribe for new conversations with leaders in business, finance, and beyond.🎧 Also available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts.🔗 Trinity SMF Podcast Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/@trinitystudentmanagedfund7865 🔗 Trinity SMF Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/company/trinity-smf/🔗 Trinity SMF Website | https://trinitysmf.com/🔗 Host's Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewcmbarnes/Trinity Student Managed Fund is Europe's oldest and largest student-run investment fund, with more than €800,000 AUM.#jimchanos #enron #shortselling #fraud #AIbubble #TrinitySMF #trinitycollegedublin #investing #finance #podcast

    Julian Coulter | Google, Global Managing Director FBR | Navigating Emerging Markets | AI in Digital Marketing | Pursuing Asymmetric Career Opportunities

    🎙 Trinity SMF Podcast | Julian Coulter | Navigating Emerging Markets Matthew Barnes sits down with Julian Coulter - Global Managing Director at Google, leading the Food, Beverages, and Restaurants vertical, with over two decades operating across emerging markets from Poland and Russia to South Africa, Peru, and Mexico. Julian's career took him from a graduate sales role at Bass Brewers in the English Midlands to regional director for Britvic International by age 26, through leadership roles at SAB Miller across South Africa and Latin America, and into his current role at Google. Along the way he built brand strategy under a former Coca-Cola global CMO, launched and lost a premium soft drink in Poland, and helped shape how one of the world's largest companies thinks about marketing in the developing world. In this conversation, he reflects on why he chose developing markets over the well-trodden banking and consulting path, what a failed product launch in 1990s Poland taught him about strategy, how head office and the operators on the ground negotiate tension, and where AI fits into closing - or widening - the gap between developed and emerging economies.
