Emmanuel Daniel

Emmanuel Daniel is at heart an entrepreneur, traveler and writer, although he is recognised as a global thought leader in the future of finance. Much of Emmanuel's writing is based on experiences gained while building his global research and consulting house since 1996. Through its platforms, such as "The Asian Banker" and "Wealth and Society," Emmanuel maintains extensive contact with leaders in banking and finance around the world.

He is listed as a top 10 global influencer in the "Fintech Power50" list for 2021 and 2022. He won the Citibank Excellence in Business Journalism for Asia in 1999 for his work on the internet in banking. “The Asian Banker Summit” won the best finance conference from the Asian Conference and Summit Awards in 2012.

His first book, "The Great Transition - the personalization of finance is here" published in September 2022, features forewords written by former congressman Barney Frank, the co-author of the Dodd-Frank Act, legislations that regulate the financial services industry in the US today as well as Richard Sandor, an innovator widely regarded as the "father of financial futures" and also the "father of carbon trading".

Although he is a well regarded global speaker in the financial services industry and in geo-politics, he prefers working on personalized assignments with selected clients to establish ideas that work for them. Emmanuel has served or is serving in advisory or consulting roles for various public and private sector institutions, and is a well regarded confidante in leadership circles. He has no political affiliations. He is sometimes interviewed on BBC, Bloomberg and CNBC.

Emmanuel was trained as a lawyer, has degrees from the National University of Singapore and the University of London, and attended a course on economics at Columbia University in New York. He travels widely and divides his time between Singapore, Beijing and New York.
