Acknowledgments

I am sincerely grateful to the numerous clients, colleagues, and friends who, knowingly or unknowingly, have enriched my whole professional life. In particular, I owe thanks to Thomas Martin who has provided continuous feedback and constructive criticism to shape some of the ideas featured in this book, and to Anil Suri who has rewarded me with open conversations during my NY travels, which also refined my vision about Goal Based Investing and Gamification. I am also grateful to my colleagues at IBM Risk Analytics, my professional family in the broader IBM, for their incessant dedication, and Wiley's editor Thomas Hyrkiel, for believing in this thought leadership project. Most importantly, I am indebted to my family, who love me and helped me dedicate time to this work.

This book contains thoughts, strategic views, and opinions which have forged the professional background of the author but are the author's only; these do not necessarily represent the practice nor the views of my current or previous employers, nor the beliefs of my present and past colleagues.
