Kim Bolton – How AI end-users turn productivity into profits
·OnlineOnlineKim Bolton – How AI end-users turn productivity into profits
In this interactive discussion, Kim will be taking a deeper dive into how end users can use artificial intelligence (AI) provide her view of where the markets are heading in 2026. Most traders/investors obsess over AI builders (chips, models, hyperscalers). In this presentation Kim flips the lens to AI end users—companies where AI is no longer a feature, but a structural operating advantage that drives margins, retention, and cash flow.
Kim Bolton is the founder of Black Swan Dexteritas Inc. and the portfolio manager for BSD’s flagship Global Technology Hedge Fund. Kim is a monthly guest on BNN Bloomberg's Market Call program, and a contributor on multiple financial podcasts.
Kim’s previous experience includes 35 years of portfolio management and securities trading experience at Toronto Dominion Bank, CIBC Asset Management, and BP p.l.c. (Formerly British Petroleum) and has successfully managed portfolios in excess of $3.5 Billion. Kim has a MBA degree from Schulich School of Business and a Bachelor of Science degree from Trent University.
This meeting will broadcast online on Thursday January 22, 2026 at 5:00 pm PT, 6:00 pm MT or 8:00 pm ET.
