GABRIELE RIPELLINO – ITALY

Engineering Consultant – Industry X-Mobility, Accenture
Master in Finance and Fintech (A.Y. 2021/2022)

“For several decades, technology has been enabling improvement and personalization of financial services and products. Today, even non-Financial Services companies can meet the financial needs of their customers: the concept of Embedded Finance is just the first step toward “invisible” finance. I could not fail to mention the Metaverse, without talk about the new professional roles of two historically distinct worlds, such as technology and finance, that are and will be inescapable. These considerations, the omnipresence of digital finance and the skills that the job market requests, let me choose a Master Course that was a mix of technical, business-oriented and internationality, like the one offered by BBS”

JUAN PABLO SORIANO – MEXICO

Master in Finance and Fintech (A.Y. 2020/2021)

“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”
