The Future of Fintech in the Age of AI
AI is already reshaping fintech—how products are built, how risk is assessed, how customers are served. But most of what's coming hasn't happened yet.
Join Nico Simko (CEO & Co-founder of Clair) and Dan Westgarth (COO, Deel), in conversation with Alex Fiance (CEO, Kairos), for a live taping of the HR Technology Trailblazers podcast during NY Fintech Week. Expect an unscripted conversation from two operators about what they're seeing, what they're betting on, and what they think the next few years actually look like - for their companies and for the industry.
Dan Westgarth - COO, Deel
Dan has scaled Deel from a 10-person startup to a $17B global payroll platform processing $22B in payroll annually across 150 countries. He brings the operator's view of how AI is changing the architecture of global work - and what that means for the financial infrastructure underneath it.
Nico Simko - Co-founder and CEO, Clair
Nico is building AI directly into Clair's core - from Atlas, an AI underwriting engine that expands financial access for workers, to Talos, an AI agent that accelerates how Clair builds products. He brings the view from the embedded fintech infrastructure layer: where AI is already changing who gets access to financial services, and how fast new products can reach them.
