Knock YOUR Socks Off Fintech Innovation Who’s In? 

It’s not often we get a Chief Penguin on the stage at Fintech Talents; well until this year’s Festival, never. Dr Melissa Sassi, Chief Penguin from IBM Z gave us a great insight not just into the origins of her unusual job title, but also her passion for working with start-ups.  

How can we bring innovations and creativity into our day-to-day roles? How do we find our own superpowers and connect to a community of change-makers? Dr Sassi gives us lots to think about on the back of her presentation. From the importance of diversity and inclusion to the foundational role of security – both that which is mandated by regulation but also because it is doing the right thing to do. The individual and the industry stand to benefit. 

Tools and technology go hand in hand with training when it comes to security. Learn more about what Dr Sassi’s does through the IBM Hyper Protect Accelerator, along with her colleagues from IBM Cloud, and how that supports start-ups across the financial services sector by watching her full presentation below.
