Dallas, Texas – Fintech expert and international speaker Scarlett Sieber will be the keynote speaker for ALM First’s 2019 Financial Forum, which will be held September 23 – 25 at La Cantera Resort & Spa in San Antonio, Texas.
Sieber is a respected leader, writer and Senior Advisor at NASA for the Cross Industry Innovation Summit. She formerly served as Vice President for USAA, Chief Innovation Officer for start-up Opus Bank and Senior Vice President of Global Business Development for BBVA.
Sieber is currently Managing Director, Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer at the consultancy CCG Catalyst, where she advises financial institutions and fintechs on next-generation financial services. Among her clients are Money20/20, one of the world’s premier financial conferences, and South Summit, an important technology event for corporates and startups operating in Spain and Latin America.
Sieber’s session, The Future of Financial Services: How Banking is Being Disrupted, will provide a macroeconomic overview of the industry at large and the shifts caused by consumer expectations and behavior while addressing the impact and the rise of fintech. Attendees will benefit from first-hand examples of organizations who are excelling in this challenge as Sieber dives into the biggest tech trends for 2019 and beyond. As a former banking executive and entrepreneur, with experience from both sides of the table, she will equip credit union and bank leaders with the foundation for success moving forward in financial services.
