Berkeley Center for Innovative Financial Technology
Every time I think I'm away from universities, I get dragged back in. I'm newly on the Advisory Board for Berkeley's new Center for Innovative Financial Technology. Okay, okay, I'm a highly willing "drag-ee" on this one.
While in some quarters these days "innovation" and "finance" go together about as well as "magnesium fire" and "water", I think this is a great idea at the right place and the right time -- especially when the center director is my friend David Leinweber.
I look forward to working with David, et al., on this great new Berkeley center.
