Doug Ricket, Founder and CEO at PayJoy
Doug Ricket is the Founder and CEO of PayJoy, the top financial service provider to the underserved in emerging markets.
Doug was inspired to create PayJoy after his time as a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, his work on multiple patents in the pay-as-you-go solar industry and creating the world’s first complete digital map at Google Maps.
After working with his co-founder Mark Heynen at Google, Doug returned to Africa to distribute solar-powered products in Gambia.
Doug returned to the U.S. and – after a stint at Stanford’s business school – decided to apply the same model to the problem of smartphone connectivity and financial inclusion, founding PayJoy in 2015.
During the event, Doug will take part in the FinTech Strategies panel where he will explore the evolving landscape of FinTech, including emerging trends, disruptive technologies and successful business models.
Paula Grieco, Senior Vice President at Commonwealth
Paula is a Senior Vice President at Commonwealth – a national nonprofit building financial security and opportunity for financially vulnerable people through innovation and partnerships.
Her work applies emerging technology to narrow the wealth divide, spur emergency savings, improve financial access, develop inclusive investing products and help low- and moderate-income workers (LMI) build wealth.
She is responsible for leading relationships and marketing strategy with large and strategic business development partners, including the BlackRock Foundation, JP Morgan Chase, MetLife Foundation and the Nasdaq Foundation.
Overseeing projects in emerging technology and inclusive investing, she works with financial services firms and fintechs like Posh.AI, Ellevest, Public and Stash.
Paula draws on deep experience and a successful track record of building early- and mid-stage social impact, technology and consulting organisations and teams. She has a particular specialisation in leading and building teams in startup and high-growth stages as well as organisations entering a new market or innovation phase.
During the event, Paula will be taking part in the AI in FinTech panel where she will explore how AI is revolutionising areas such as fraud detection, personalised financial services and automated trading.
