Financial service firms, insurance agencies, and investment banks are all increasingly at the intersection of data and technology, harnessing cybersecurity, big data, and blockchain to conduct business.
To succeed in this new environment, fintech professionals will need to pursue learning and development opportunities to reskill and upskill in preparation for leadership in an ever-changing marketplace.
