Who are the Top Fintech Influencers? By CityAM - Disruptive Finance and Fintech by Huy Nguyen Trieu

I love these lists – especially when I am in there !

This list is comprised of people who are building great disruptive startups, like Samir Desai at Funding Circle, or people who are building the Fintech ecosystem, like Nektarios Liolios at StartupBootCamp.

And me? My involvement to Fintech is mainly through Disruptive Finance and advising startups, so it’s my opportunity to thank you reader!

If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have these insightful discussions about disruption in finance. Keep sharing this blog and keep giving me your views, and let’s discover together the next innovations in finance.

Here is the list from CityAM
