Le ski suisse, symbole d'excellence, continue de briller sur la scène internationale. Loïc Meillard, l'un des skieurs les plus prometteurs de sa génération, et Vincent Costet, journaliste spécialisé, exploreront les clés de ce succès. Quels sont les secrets d'une préparation physique et mentale optimale pour atteindre le sommet? Comment les skieurs suisses gèrent-ils la pression et l'intensité des compétitions? L'importance du matériel, souvent négligée, est également un facteur clé de ces performances exceptionnelles. Quelles innovations techniques influencent aujourd'hui les résultats? Cette rencontre offrira un éclairage sur la manière dont les champions suisses continuent de dominer les pistes. - Loïc Meillard commence le ski à l'âge de 2 ans, qui devient très vite une passion. Il a, depuis toujours, voulu dépasser ses limites et progresser, afin d'arriver au meilleur niveau possible. Originaire du canton de Neuchâtel, à l'âge de 12 ans il déménage à Hérémence en Valais dans le but de faciliter la pratique du ski. En parallèle de sa carrière, il réalise des études d'employé de commerce, tout en continuant les courses FIS. C'est en 2015 qu'il commence à briller en s'emparant du titre de Champion Suisse de Slalom. Il réalise également 3 podiums aux Championnats du Monde Junior, dont une première place en super-combiné. Il réitère cet exploit en 2017, en Super-combinée ainsi qu'en Slalom. Dès lors, il enchaîne les Top5 et les Top10 en Coupe du Monde, Championnats du Monde et régionaux. Et devient en 2023 vice-champion du monde en slalom géant. En 2025, il est champion du monde de slalom et de combiné par équipes, ainsi que médaillé de bronze en slalom géant.

In the final episode recorded live from Money 20/20 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Eyal sits down with leaders from the the three major U.S. core banking providers: Hashim Toussaint, General Manager of Digital & Open Banking at FIS; Chad Killingsworth, Head of Engineering at Jack Henry; and Sunil Sachdev, SVP, Head of Embedded Finance at Fiserv. Among them, these three providers serve not dozens or even hundreds of banks, but thousands, as they enable the long tail of a richly diverse and populous American banking ecosystem. Given their reach, for open banking to succeed in the U.S. the cores will have to embrace it, and throughout this discussion our guests break down exactly how their firms intend to do so. The conversation covers the latest regulatory developments, including the new compliance timeline, the exclusion of smaller banks from regulatory requirements, and how the U.S. cores are ultimately being driven by the real demands of digitally-savvy consumers more than by regulatory mandates. Specifically they discuss:The role of core banking providersThe CFPB rule and compliance timelines Security frameworks and API strategies Smaller banks' exclusion from regulationThe choice to build vs. buy vs. partner

A Future of Finance Interview with Richard Brown, Chief Technology and Product Officer at R3.R3 celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. Richard G. Brown, R3's Chief Technology and Product Officer, speaks to Bob Currie about the drivers for Corda's design, how these are changing, and how far the company has fulfilled the targets that it envisaged at formation. The discussion explores the potential for convergence of private and public blockchain ecosystems, thereby potentially making a wider range of higher-quality assets available to DeFi investors and tapping into a large pool of demand and liquidity sitting on public blockchain. But what can we say at this stage about the mechanics of building this cross-chain interoperability?In bringing real-world assets to DeFi, we examine how to retain the simplicity and accessibility of permissionless chains while accommodating TradFi's complex lifecycles and risk protocols.In delivering convergence of public and private ecosystems, we address the difficulties in ensuring that financial institutions, and their regulators, are comfortable in transacting with investors or counterparties operating in a public ecosystem. What are the challenges in delivering the institutional-standard security and finality that these FIs will continue to expect? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you're looking to gain an understanding of how the steel industry is transforming, then this episode of "Freight Up" is for you. Hello, we're Jess and Davide, and we welcome you back to another insightful episode of Freight Up – your go-to podcast for the latest in freight and commodity markets from Freight Investor Services or as some of us know us, FIS. In our latest episode, we're diving into the dynamic world of electric arc furnaces (EAFs) and their impact on the US steel market. As we're joined by Ali Oktay, a Senior Analyst at S&P Global Commodity Insights, alongside our other expert guests, we'll be dissecting how the shift to EAFs is adding new steel capacity in the US and reshaping the market landscape. EAFs have been pivotal in transitioning the US steel market, adding about 20 million tons of EAF sheet melting capacity since 2017, and they offer several economic and operational benefits, including quicker production adjustments and potential lower production costs. This episode is set to provide you with deep insights into how these developments are pushing pricing ceilings and influencing future trends across global markets.One key takeaway beyond the innovation of EAFs is how global market trends and trade policies are influencing demand and supply within the US steel market. Ali discusses how recurring themes, such as trade policy, play fundamental roles in reshaping competitive contexts for US steel.

Every sales leader has heard the mantra: “Pipeline cures all.” But what if that's only half the truth? In this episode, Matt Carey, SVP of Global Sales at FIS, breaks down why more pipeline isn't always the answer—the right pipeline is. He shares hard-earned lessons from leading sales teams at Oracle, SAP, and FIS, explaining how top-performing organizations prioritize quality over quantity, measure pipeline health beyond raw coverage, and avoid common forecasting pitfalls.Matt also explores the real role of frontline managers, not as super reps, but as force multipliers who elevate their teams. He discusses hiring strategies that separate true performers from resume fluff, the importance of post-mortem loss reviews, and why most companies still get coaching wrong. Whether you're a CRO, VP of Sales, or a frontline manager looking to level up, this conversation is packed with insights that will change the way you build and manage your pipeline.Top Takeaways:Pipeline Quantity vs. Quality – More pipeline doesn't guarantee success; leaders must focus on the right pipeline by assessing deal quality, aging, and true viability.The Problem with "Just Add More Pipeline" Thinking – Sales teams often flood CRMs with unqualified deals to meet coverage targets, leading to bloated and misleading forecasts.Why Frontline Managers Must Stop Being Super Reps – The best managers don't just close deals for their teams; they enable reps to develop the skills to win consistently.Hiring Based on Past Performance, Not Promises – Great sales hires have a history of winning, regardless of industry or background; track record matters more than potential.Loss Reviews Are More Valuable Than Win Reviews – Studying why deals were lost provides deeper insights into messaging gaps, pricing misalignment, and product fit issues.How Sales Leaders Sell Internally – At higher levels, sales leaders spend as much time selling internally for budget, resources, and strategy alignment as they do selling to customers.Coaching Needs a System, Not Just Good Intentions – Too many one-on-ones are either deal reviews or therapy sessions; real coaching needs structure, accountability, and a focus on skill development.Managing a Global Sales Team Requires Cultural Awareness – Sales leaders must adapt their messaging and approach across markets, respecting regional differences in business etiquette and buying behavior.The Shift from Tactical to Strategic Leadership – Senior sales leaders must move beyond the day-to-day deal cycle and focus on long-term market positioning, competitive threats, and team scalability.Why Sales Leaders Must Track Trends, Not Just Deals – The best leaders analyze broader win-loss data, competitive shifts, and industry changes to refine strategy, not just react to individual deal outcomes.Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Yb1wPzUxyrfR0Dx35ym1A Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-build-a-coaching-culture/id1699901434 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NvYWNoMnNjYWxlLWhvdy1tb2Rlcm4tbGVhZGVycy1idWlsZC1hLWNvYWNoaW5nLWN1bHR1cmU Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fd188af6-7c17-4b2e-a0b2-196ecd6fdf77 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-5419703 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Coach2Scale CoachEm™ is the first Coaching Execution Platform that integrates deep learning technology to proactively analyze patterns, highlight the "why" behind the data with root causes, and identify the actions that will ultimately improve business results going forward.  These practical coaching recommendations for managers will help their teams drive more deals, bigger deals, faster deals, and loyal customers.

Send us a textOn today's show, Mac Thompson, ceo  and founder of White Clay - a company focused on helping financial institution use data to build better, more profitable member and customer relationships, and he comes bearing a bitter pill for CU execs to swallow.According to a recent Harris Poll sponsored by White Clay, “Roughly two-thirds of FI users (68%) do not feel truly known by their primary financial institution, with almost a third (31%) feeling like just another account number..”Surely credit unions, which pride themselves on their member relationships, do better?Yes but hold your self congratulations. The number for credit unions is 63%, said Thompson in the show.It gets worse: 41% of members say they would switch FIs if another  institution offered more personalized financial guidance.But Thompson also has good news: institutions can harness data, data they often already have on hand, to enrich their personal relations with members.  He discusses this in detail.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?
