An often repeated experience on my journey has been that one thing leads to another, which leads to another and so it goes. You may have a hunch about what these may add up to - but seldom a very clear picture or a plan. So get going - and start with what many need often (preferably same logic, user experience and tool) at home and at work - and ke...

A wise man once said: “If I was down to my last dollar, I’d spend it on public relations.” It’s a quote often attributed to Microsoft founder Bill Gates, though there’s some debate over whether he actually said it.

Peer to Peer or P2P models in Fintech were one of the earliest to take hold post Financial Crisis. Some companies flourished and some got stuck.
