Risky Women Toronto: Championing Innovation with Ellis Odynn

We were delighted to host a Risky Women dinner in Toronto with our founding sponsor Refinitiv.

Our Toronto Risky Women were welcomed by Refinitiv’s Head of Canada, Lisa Rowsell, who is a big supporter of the network.  The conversation was lively and covered many topics including the most pressing emerging technology trends, the precarious relationship of regulation and innovation as well as the unique talent challenges of our industry.  Given the pressures now faced around risk and compliance the discussion focused on the opportunity for technology to help.  Ellis Odynn in her role as Chief AI Officer spoke of her ambition to champion innovation in Canada and beyond.  A big thanks to Sherry Madera, Refinitiv’s Chief of Industry and Government Affairs for leading the discussion and sharing her insights on the topic too.

As usual we had a few special touches with inspirational plates depicting women including Sandra Bullock, Susan Sarandon and other female champions.  It was great to see the global connections as Hong Kong Risky Woman Gina Hudel also managed to make the Toronto event.
