The morning will kick off with a keynote address by Blaise Thomson, the director of Alfa iQ, the R&D arm of Alfa Software, who will discuss his career and explain how he’s made the transition to working in asset finance from being a Fellow at Cambridge University, Blaise will also offer his take on what cutting-edge technology can bring to the leasing sector.
