Join us for a short presentation on our London-based, top-ranked Chicago Booth Executive MBA Program followed by a Chicago Conversations event on FinTech Entrepreneurship.

The innovations arising from the convergence of technology with traditional financial structures, known as FinTech, are transforming the financial services industry as we know it, but can they replace it?

FinTech companies benefit from the freedoms of lean operations and light regulations but face unique challenges that include lack of capital and customer base. How can leaders of this emerging sector scale up to meet market needs while preserving the integrity of their businesses?

Join us February 15, 2016 to hear entrepreneurs and other influential figures at the forefront of FinTech discuss the trends and challenges they are navigating in this field.

You don't want to miss our candid panel discussion, 'FinTech Entrepreneurship,' moderated by Waverly Deutsch, Clinical Professor of Entrepreneurship at Chicago Booth, with opening remarks from Robert Wardrop '96, Executive Director Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance.


Panelists include:

  • Rahul Pakrashi ’10 - Chief Risk Officer, Funding Circle
  • Joel Perlman - Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, OakNorth Bank Limited
  • Guillaume Piard '15 - Founder of Evest
  • Hiroki Takeuchi - CEO and Founder, GoCardless
