Dear Friends of CEIBS, 

We cordially invite you to attend our Executive Forum on October 30, 2018, where Mrs. Jennifer Zhu Scott, Principal of Radian Partners, will share her insights on “Blockchain Technology and a (Potentially) Decentralized Future.”

A blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions, but virtually everything of value. Information held on a blockchain exists as a shared and continually reconciled-database. It is a way of using networks that has obvious benefits. A blockchain database isn’t stored in any single location, meaning the records it keeps are truly public and easily verifiable. In addition, no centralised version of the information exists for a hacker to corrupt. Hosted by millions of computers simultaneously, its data is accessible to anyone on the internet. As revolutionary as it sounds, blockchain truly is a mechanism to bring everyone to the highest degree of accountability. 

Radian Partners offers sensible financial strategies and serves clients who seek the highest degree of fiduciary responsibility, discretion, and straight talk. The company believes clients deserve individualised solutions and not some one-size-fits-all methodology or proprietary investment. The company counsels clients on how to avoid media noise, fear, and emotion, and how to focus on sound market fundamentals. Before investing, the company offers sufficient education.  

Jennifer’s lecture on blockchain technology will be divided into the following parts:

• The paradigm shifts from the last industrial revolution to this one
• What role will the blockchain technology play?
• Useful technical details about blockchain
• Important applications of blockchain beyond ICOs
• The merits of token economies and the regulators' dilemmas
• Case studies

Jennifer Zhu Scott is the founding principal of Radian Partners, a China Fellow of the Aspen Institute, and a permanent member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network. She also served as a consultant on Season 5 of the HBO’s Silicon Valley. She sits on numerous boards, including OTOY’s RNDR (rendertoken.com) along with WME IMG co-founder and co-CEO Ari Emanuel, JavaScript creator Brendan Eich, and Star Wars director JJ Abrams. 

We look forward to seeing you at this much anticipated event.
