Stifel CEO Ron Kruszewski joins Inside the ICE House to mark 30 years leading the 136-year-old firm and reflect on navigating constant change. He explains why he sees AI as a powerful accelerator rather than a replacement for human judgment, and why he's betting Stifel's business on the enduring value of human relationships. Kruszewski warns against chasing trends like tokenization without heeding the lessons of financial history, favoring a strategy of compounding capabilities over decades. He closes with his outlook on where AI and financial services are headed together.
