A ten-minute talk on identity and multiculturalism, The Economist’s Open Future Festival in Hong Kong on Oct 5th 2019
This was both tougher and easier than other talks I’ve given. Tougher because it’s a big topic for ten minutes; and I felt the pressure of both the live stream and the very tight timing, the clock counting down at me from a screen at my feet. I missed a couple of lines, but oh well. Happens.
But easier because I had lots of support and encouragement from the floor, including a bunch of former colleagues and bosses, some who gave me many opportunities to speak and write early in my career, some thirteen years ago now.

Thirty-minute talk on my first book followed by a panel discussion, The World Bank, Apr 9th 2013
The video’s resolution is not great, but the audio came through nicely. Grateful to Viktoria Kovacs, Reda Hamedoun and everybody else at The Bank who made this happen.
