In the spotlight

Which global fintech trend are you most excited about and why?

Personal financial management apps powered by open banking. As I purchased my first property, I found that having a single view of my finances gives me a holistic view of my monthly outgoings. As open banking expands, I’m excited to see where this could lead.

What is the fintech you wish you had backed and why?

Monzo. Having redefined the current account, they use technology to create a better consumer experience. Love it or hate it, I’m a big fan of the coral card. I’m in.

Which entrepreneur would you invite to a fantasy dinner party?

Oprah Winfrey - I think we could all learn a thing or two from her. I might even take her song request and get on the DJ decks after dinner if she hangs around.
