Banks, insurance companies, and asset managers have gone from making up 90% of the industry value in 2012 to about 65% of the industry value today - big tech’s own financial services as well as financial infrastructure and technology companies are growing in market share.

"For me personally, I’ve never been the type of person to ever really learn a lot in the classroom. I always told my friends at school that I’m not a big school guy. But, all the learning I feel like I’ve done in my life has been through experiences. I think the most learning comes out of experiential learning, and that’s why I think that this program resonates with me a lot."
