This Black History Month, one of the Wise Communities, Black Wisers Network, and Black in Fintech are joining forces for a night that celebrates Black futures in fintech - blending conversation, community, and inspiration from the founders and professionals who are building what’s next.
Join us for an evening of bold, authentic stories from Black leaders who turned their vision into ventures that are reshaping the future of finance:
Our line-up includes:
⚡️ Shafie Ali, Product Lead at Wise & Founder of Watch These Spaces
⚡️ Princess Akari – Product Manager at Moniepoint & Founder of PeopleInProduct
⚡️ Matthew Addai – Founder and CEO of Cashblack
⚡️Afiya Titus - Founder, Fineo AI
We’ll dive into conversations on:
- The unique strengths and perspectives the Black experience brings to building fintech.
- The tactics that helped their ventures stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
- Their biggest lessons learned about leadership in fintech.
The evening will open with remarks from Valerie Kontor (Founder, Black in Fintech) and Perpetua Gitungo (Compliance Director, LATAM & MEA, Wise; Head of Black Wisers Network) before leading into the panel and networking with our fintech community. Food and drinks will be served throughout the evening.
Beyond the conversation, this is also an opportunity to connect with the Wise team, explore opportunities within Wise, and expand your professional network in an open, welcoming space. Join Wise's Talent Community to be the first to hear about new roles, and get a behind the scenes look at how we solve global challenges - smrtr.io/tHkKV
