FxF x ADC Consulting - The Finance Circle
You Don't Need the Background. You Need the Audacity.
Emilie Colker, who studied art history and philosophy. She went on to lead global innovation at Avanade - a 60,000-person joint venture between Microsoft and Accenture. She was a Managing Director at IDEO, working with Google DeepMind, Meta, IKEA and Novartis. She helped build a Silicon Valley EdTech that sold for $90 million. She won the Cannes Lion Grand Prix. And now she's CEO of ADC Consulting, leading finance companies through AI transformation.
No tech degree. No traditional tech path. Just an obsession with where the world is heading and the audacity to plant her flag there before anyone else.
At this edition of The Finance Circle, we sit down with Emilie for a conversation about the moves that actually matter:
→ Personal brand as career strategy. Not vanity, but power.
→ Being early to the future: how to make strategic bets on where your industry is going
→ Claiming the room: how to lead with authority when you're technically the underdog
Nothing is off limits. From navigating male-dominated spaces to knowing when to make the unconventional move, Emilie tells it like it is.
For the woman who has always done it slightly differently and is starting to realise that might be her greatest asset.
Small group. Real talk. The network you didn't know you needed.
