Joining Russell Goldsmith on the podcast is Dr Luis Correia da Silva, Oxera Chair and Partner, who presented alongside Professor Ryan Williams, Université Paris-Dauphine. Andrew Hobbs, EY EMEIA Public Policy Leader, chaired the panel which includes Karel Lannoo, Chief Executive Officer, Centre for European Policy Studies, Professor Nicole Ratzinger-Sakel, University of Hamburg, Chiara Mosca, Commissioner, Italian Securities and Financial Markets Authority, and Gabriela Dias, Chair at the International Ethics Board for Accountants.
