Several outlets report that Wall Street banks and investment firms are paying large sums for hands-on AI training. NDTV and The Next Web say two former investment bankers—Felipe Sinisterra and Dave Wang—are being hired to teach financial institutions how to use AI tools they have already purchased. Bloomberg reports the trainers can charge around $25,000 per day, framing the work as filling gaps in banks’ AI plans and helping senior staff apply AI to day-to-day workflows. Multiple sources describe the trainers as “AI gurus” or highly sought-after specialists and note that demand is rising as banks try to adapt to automation pressures and restructure jobs. Bloomberg’s coverage emphasizes that despite major investment in AI, firms still struggle to implement it effectively across processes and roles. The Next Web and NDTV add that bookings extend for months, suggesting strong near-term demand. Overall, the reporting converges on the same details: prominent ex-bankers, premium day rates, and training focused on practical AI adoption within Wall Street institutions.
