Nick Leeson

“The Rogue Trader”

Nick has proved to be an entertaining raconteur and popular after-dinner speaker. Curiosity, intrigue and sympathy continue to surround his incredible life story: How could one trader cause the collapse of Barings Bank, the financial empire that funded the Napoleonic Wars? With a jail sentence, divorce and cancer behind him, Nick has spoken at numerous high profile dinners and in June 2005 released his third book, Back From The Brink.
