Blue Dot Investors: Dinner with Denise Leonhard, GM of Zelle

​This is an official event of #NYFW26

​As part of NYC fintech week, we are hosting dinner with the GM of Zelle, Denise Leonhard, on April 29th alongside members of the fintech community. 

​We plan for this to be a women’s-only dinner in order to foster the female allocator and entrepreneurship community. We are thrilled to have our friend Charlotte Zhang of Inatai Foundation moderate the discussion with Denise.

​It is hard to put Zelle’s impact on the US economy into words – users sent more than $1.2 trillion using the platform in 2025, over 2,000 US banks part of its network and touches over 150 million Americans. Denise is one of the most influential operators in fintech and we are excited to hear from her.

​A bit more about us: we're Blue Dot Investors, a late-stage fintech fund founded by Sahej Suri. Blue Dot invests and partners with some of the biggest late-stage fintechs. We are deep in the fintech ecosystem and have 25+ senior advisors across fintech. As part of our dinner series, we previously hosted the founders of Bilt, Cross River and other fintech.
