Voices — a community I engage with

The leaders, academics, and operators I learn from and engage with across payments, product, and marketing — Cornell, Mastercard, and the global fintech community.

My work is shaped by a community of people I learn from and engage with — professors, colleagues, and leaders across payments, product, and marketing. This is that community: the voices I follow, the people I exchange ideas with, and the network that keeps me honest.

This is a list of people I engage with and learn from. It is not an endorsement of me by them.
