How James is building a better working world
“The work that we do in financial technology and non-traditional financial services — including driving financial inclusion and helping serve the underserved — ultimately helps build a better working world. Moreover, fintech initiatives attract a different type of person than traditional engagements — allowing for great opportunities around diversity and mutual learning.”
