Bruce Lee & Beverly Anderson named as latest Keynote Speakers for March FinTech Innovation Assembly
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida, Feb. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — There is less than a month to go until the Springtime edition of Agora’s FinTech Innovation Assembly gets underway, with the event’s limited ticket allocation in high demand.
The leading names in FinTech will descend on the Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale, March 19 – 21, 2018 for three days of carefully curated workshops, inspirational keynotes, and plentiful networking opportunities. To find out more about who is attending and to enquire about joining them, please contact Megan Ann Shields [email protected].
We are pleased to announce the most recent addition to our keynote speaker roster, Beverly Anderson, Executive Vice President of Cards and Retail Services at Wells Fargo.
Beverly will discuss how winning in today’s consumer marketplace means seamlessly connecting with customers and delivering exceptional experiences across every physical, mobile, and digital channel.
With brands like Uber creating new, simple solutions for customer problems (“I need a ride”), the payments industry finds itself facing a new set of challenges and opportunities. Calling upon over thirty years in the industry, Beverly will share her experiences as a change agent, helping leaders shift their mindset to energize innovation across their businesses.
Beverly joins Bruce Lee, SEVP Operations & Technology, Fannie Mae, who is set to take to the stage at the Gala Dinner on day one of the event.
Bruce will compare today’s IT transformation to the old Irish joke: a lost traveler asks for directions, only to receive the answer, “if you want to get there, I wouldn’t start from here.” IT transformations are similar, requiring us to have a good sense of the destination, but often unclear of our starting point.
With twenty years’ experience in senior technology roles, Bruce knows how an IT journey can struggle or fail, as well as the traits of the successful transformation. He will discuss how innovation helps CIOs meet the challenges they face today.
This event promises to be Agora Assemblies’ best yet. For more information on how you can attend the FinTech Innovation Assembly at the Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale this March, please contact Megan Ann Shields at [email protected]
