Great Minds series
Mr Hayward-Cole’s interview is the fourth video in LSBF’s Great Minds Series. The video series started in 2011 with a conversation with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, followed by an interview with former Education Secretary Lord Kenneth Baker. In 2012, entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson, founder and chairman of the Virgin Group, was interviewed by LSBF and said that universities worldwide should become hubs to boost entrepreneurship and inspire self-starters to develop their own businesses.
Recently, Nomura Bank MD Guy Hayward-Cole also spoke with LSBF regarding what would constitute the perfect path for students to take to pursue careers in investment banking.
