As our invited keynote at our annual board offsite, your perspective into the space provides “real world” experience as we try to navigate our course for the future. I continue to receive positive feedback from the attendees at the meeting in Sedona.

I was impressed with Scarlett from the first moment I met her. I have seen her rise quickly in her career with an authentic, unique voice in the market. Her poise, intellect, and perspective on the future of technology was enlightening. With an ability to present in front of both large and intimate audiences, she crafts her message to resonate with whomever she is speaking to.

We’ve flown Scarlett to Australia twice now to help teach the local CIO community to hustle! She never fails to capture the crowd with straightforward advice, drawn from experience – and right on point for the culture challenges and disruptive forces which are the major barriers to organisational growth. Her calibre and experience makes her a good drawcard, and she delivers the goods onsite.

Since my first encounter with Scarlett, I have seen her present at many events, sharing her experiences and helping others learn the ways to build innovation teams at organizations. As a leader in the field, she helps to disrupt complacency in organizations that are stalled in their ability to create new products, services and experiences.

Scarlett is a force in the financial technology industry and an overall rockstar. Her laser sharp focus on finding what innovative technologies (and helping them get out to market) is unparalleled. I am honored to call her my friend and fellow fintech warrior for good.

Scarlett Sieber is one of the most dynamic people in the world of tech startups. She was a partner to our startup accelerator, INV Fintech, while in her role at BBVA, and her expertise and guidance for our startups was invaluable. (One of our companies she was deeply involved in mentoring was recently acquired.) She has organized events such as BBVA’s Open Talent competition, and attracted many of the best and brightest in the industry to attend. She has been invited to speak at the leading fintech events on her particular area of expertise -- how fintech startups can best work together with regulated financial institutions.

Scarlett has spoken at a handful of our events and we have always enjoyed her unique outlook and background as an entrepreneur and as an innovation leader within banks. Her perspective on the Future of Financial Services was not only enlightening but her authentic voice resonated strongly with our audience of venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and corporate partners.

Scarlett has accomplished more in fintech innovation than most small countries. Her experience developing and implementing strategy, building products, running accelerators, mentoring startups, facilitating digital transformation, heading competitions, and developing entire ecosystems is, quite frankly, staggering. Few have done more, have seen more, have learned more, or know more.

Scarlett brought a global perspective but made it locally relevant when she keynoted the fintech track for Techweek. She’s one of my go to people for insights.
