Why you should watch: Our eminent panel discusses the implications of the financial front of the Ukraine Russia war, recovery and resilience tools to support the region through the Ukraine crisis, how antitrust deals reveal new tensions in the division of competences between Member States and European Commission and the latest trends in post-Brexit dynamics including the closely watched rhythm in assets and people transfer from London to EU hubs, and many more.

Moderator: Martina Garcia (Chief Executive Officer, CSFI)

Graham Bishop is renowned for his vision and the courage to propose radical ideas yet ground them in a mastery of the technical details of the financial system... to the extent that he has even been referred to as a one-man think tank. He was elected as Chairman of the National Council of the UK branch of the European Movement in 2020, after many years on the National Council, Executive and Vice-Chairman.

Nickolas Reinhardt co-founded Afore Consulting in 2007. Over a career of 20 years, he has come to be regarded as one of the most influential financial services consultants in Brussels. Previously, he ran the global regulatory practice at a public affairs company. He has extensive experience in all areas of financial services and competition policy. He trained and worked as a merchant banker in Hamburg.

Salomé Cisnal de Ugarte is a partner in the Brussels office at King & Spalding and is part of the firm’s Global Antitrust practice. She provides strategic and legal advice to companies and investors in complex competition matters, with a particular emphasis on merger control, antitrust complaints, and global investigations. She represents clients before the European Commission, national competition authorities and the European Courts.

William Wright is the founder and managing director of New Financial, a specialist publication for the capital markets that is now part of the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones. William was editor of Financial News between 2003 and 2011, and on his watch Financial News established itself as one of the most widely read and respected publications for the investment banking and asset management industries.
