Testimonials (1)
  • CFA Society Seattle had the privilege of hosting Nili Gilbert at our Annual Economic Forecast Dinner on January 25, 2018. This is our society’s marquee event that gathers local investment professionals. Nili was part of a three-speaker line-up themed around the performance of financial markets with a focus on underlying economic drivers, behavioral factors, and impact investing considerations. The content Nili delivered—in both her presentation and panel Q&A—was detailed, yet concise, and exactly what we were looking to provide our members and guests. Nili was very active in the preparation for this event. She was available for conference calls and extremely responsive via email. We would highly recommend Nili if you are considering hosting an event aimed at the investment management profession. Dylan Kelly, CFA Past President | CFA Society Seattle
