Description

What happens when a world-class chess Grandmaster, one of the few to hold a winning record against the legendary Garry Kasparov, steps away from the board? Joel Lautier shares his journey of reinvention, applying the strategic mind of a champion to the world of venture capital. In this talk, Joel offers a fascinating look at how the skills of a truth-seeker can be adapted to any new playing field, and how true reinvention is about evolution, not erasure.
