Heider Ridha liked thisHeider Ridha liked thisOH MY GOOD GOLLY!!!! I only just went and won a place on the Penguin Random House WriteNow Programme! A year ago I scaled down at Bain & Compnay to pursue a life-long dream of writing children's books. 7 months ago (!) I finally picked up a (virtual) pen and wrote 4 books. And today it was announced that I was chosen as one of 11 writers out of 2000 to win a year of mentorship with Penguin Random House! To say that I'm deliriously happy is an understatement - getting into this programme was harder from a stats perspective than getting into Bain or Oxford. I've literally been dancing around my office in glee! A huge thank you to Penguin Random House for this opportunity, and Molly Littleboy for being my brilliant mentor. And thank you James Allen for kicking my bum to get me writing, Adam Anstey, Lauren CW all the teachers at BHS for fostering my early books, and Orange Beak Studio and Natascha Biebow, MBE for some ninja level coaching along the way!

Heider Ridha liked thisHeider Ridha liked this📢 We are proud to announce the launch of Balmaris, a new collection of boutique marinas across Europe, and its first acquisition: Moniga Porto Nautica on Lake Garda. Balmaris is built on a simple idea: keep what makes each marina distinctive and add the strength of a group behind it. It reflects the kind of long-term ambition we look to support: preserving local teams and character while investing in infrastructure, services and growth. Established in 2005 and grown into one of Lake Garda's leading full-service marinas, Moniga sets the standard we want for the collection. It is the first of several acquisitions Balmaris intends to make in Italy and across Europe. Congratulations to Laura Fadabini and Roberto Vassalli, who built Moniga over the past twenty years and are partnering with us, on this exciting milestone. We look forward to the journey ahead!

Die uitspraak van onze Group CTO Arno Schalck raakt een belangrijk punt. We praten vaak over de vraag of AI betrouwbaar genoeg is. Misschien stellen we de verkeerde vraag. De echte uitdaging ontstaat op het moment dat mensen AI automatisch gaan vertrouwen. Hoe overtuigender de output oogt, hoe kleiner de kans dat we haar nog actief bevragen. Daar krijgt professioneel scepticisme een nieuwe betekenis. AI kan uitstekend analyseren, maar het gedrag van de gebruiker verandert mee. Wanneer informatie logisch, compleet en overtuigend wordt gepresenteerd, neemt de neiging toe om die zonder veel twijfel te accepteren. AI verandert het werk van accountants. Het neemt een deel van de analyse over, terwijl het belang van professioneel oordeel juist verder toeneemt. In het 𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐮𝐰𝐬𝐭𝐞 gesprek tussen Arno Schalck en prof. dr. Niels Van Nieuw Amerongen van Nyenrode Business University staat precies die spanning centraal. Lees het volledige artikel hier: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eMqqaMUk #AI #Accountancy #Kwaliteit

In this episode of Sustainable & Responsible Investing 360, I sit down with Tamer El-Raghy, Managing Director of the Acumen Resilient Agriculture Fund, to explore a question climate investors should be asking more directly: why does climate adaptation still receive such a small share of global climate finance? Tamer leads one of the first investment funds dedicated to building climate resilience for smallholder farmers across Africa. His work focuses on backing early-stage agribusinesses that address some of the most persistent constraints farmers face, from access to financing and quality inputs to technical support and reliable markets. We discuss why agriculture remains structurally undercapitalised despite its central role in food systems, and how blended finance structures, particularly first-loss capital from development institutions, can unlock commercial investment into frontier markets. Tamer also explains how platform business models that bundle multiple services for farmers are proving far more effective than single-solution approaches, and why independent impact measurement is essential for building credibility with institutional investors. This is a conversation about climate adaptation, disciplined impact investing, and the growing opportunity to align financial returns with measurable resilience.
