Shaping the Conversation on AI, Compliance, and the Future of Wealth
Conversations with industry leaders on how artificial intelligence is redefining advisor growth, regulatory governance, and enterprise wealth infrastructure.

Ian Karnell, CEO of VastAdvisor, is frequently invited to speak on leading industry podcasts and media platforms about the structural shifts transforming wealth management.
These conversations go beyond surface-level AI hype. They focus on how firms actually operationalize intelligence—from compliance-safe growth systems and first-party data strategy to enterprise AI governance and the Advisor Intelligence Loop.
