“We live in an ever-changing environment where embracing change is not optional anymore. The Master in Finance & FinTech gave me an exhausting picture of the state-of-the-art technologies and how organizations are profiting from them to create, and change business models to achieve operational efficiency. Furthermore, the solid background in finance gained during the program was a fundamental pillar to stand where I am today, being a link between financial and business decisions with a technological background to disrupt the banking industry”
