The rare combination of Ben's technical expertise (PhD in quantum physics from Caltech) and Tim's commercial experience (former investment banker at Macquarie and Lazard) has provided the foundation to build a world-class team from a range of disciplines – from AI engineering to management consulting – and everything in between.
Join us to hear Tim discuss insights from his founder journey, the future of AI, and its potential to transform the business world as we know it.
Join fellow Old Melburnians residing in the UK and Europe and be part of this significant 125-year-old tradition.
The President will welcome guests, and introduce a speaker for the evening, Tim Toner (OM 1999).
Tim is Co-Founder and CEO of Affinda, a world-class AI-powered platform that automates document workflows. In conversation with Nik Devidas (OM 1997), CEO of Axelo Group, Tim will speak about the future of AI, and its potential to transform the world as we know it.
