FinovateEurope is coming to London next week, and while our Sneak Peek series may have prepared you for the first two days of non-stop fintech demos, you still need to get ready for the extra content and discussions taking place the second half of the week.

Here are the folks who will– in just a few days from now– step up to the Finovate stage to share their insights on some of the most topical issues in fintech:

Rohit Talwar

Talwar is an award winning global futurist, entrepreneur and specialist advisor on business transformation, disruptive strategies and radical innovation.

Jamie Woodruff

Cyber Security – Why We Should All Be Very, Very Afraid…

In his early 20s, Woodruff is one of the world’s leading authorities on hacking and cyber security.

Woodruff entered the public eye when he successfully hacked Facebook as part of a student competition at Bangor University where he was studying computer information systems. He has since uncovered security holes in numerous high-profile operations, including Kim Kardashian’s website, which he hacked to reveal that it was putting her fans’ data at serious risk.

Woodruff is a director of Metrics Cloud specialising in training, penetration testing, and recruitment. He is also the cyber safety advisor for the Cyber Smile Foundation which specialises in online cyber bullying.

Woodruff talks about the importance of system and network security and is known for disclosing world-wide exploits and vulnerabilities within leading security applications such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Apple, and Google. He finds existing exploits by infiltrating the companies in question. He demonstrated this by impersonating a Domino’s pizza delivery boy at a large financial institution and gaining access to their server room via pick-locking. All carried out under fully authorised, ethical penetration testing.
