What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I think the financial market is very interesting. It connects every single person, as every time you swipe your card, we receive data points about the market.
What I really enjoy about the industry is how global and connected we all are. This is important to me.
For example, there's a lot going on in the world right now, like the war in the Middle East, the COVID-19 pandemic, and supply chain shortages. We're also seeing changes in leadership.
It's interesting to see how all these global events impact the financial environment. As a FinTech company, we can analyze these trends and see what the world is going through from a financial standpoint. That's something I really enjoy about the company.
Another aspect I appreciate is how broad the industry is. I've worked on the cash-based team, and now I'm building commercial solutions for government clients. I really like that about the industry as well.
