Recorded live at the FIX EMEA Conference 2026, Toby Babb is joined by Jonny Huntington, a former British Army Officer, stroke survivor and the first-ever disabled person to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole.

Drawing on his experiences in extreme environments, Jonny explores the parallels between polar exploration, military leadership and the challenges facing modern financial services organisations. 

As AI, automation and emerging technologies continue to transform the industry, he explains why the greatest challenge is often not the technology itself, but helping people navigate uncertainty.
