ABOUT TED
Ted Wainman
I qualified as a Chartered Accountant (ACA) at EY, then spent six years at JPMorgan Investment Management as a Vice President. I’ve also been a Finance Director, a Non-Executive Director and Company Secretary of an AIM-listed company. So I teach finance and business skills from the perspective of the people who use it to run a business.
I have designed and delivered business training workshops to more than 400+ clients across the world. In-house or open, in person or online (or hybrid), I have been meeting my clients’ training needs for more than 20+ years.
I use AI in my own work every day, so the AI in my workshops is practical, tested and honest about its limits.
I’ve delivered in more than 40 countries, so I’m used to rooms where delegates bring very different business cultures.
