NEW YORK, NY, USA, September 13, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- MBAchic, a tech platform and community for MBAs and professionals are pleased to share that it is partnering with Emory University’s Goizueta Business School for a talk on breaking into the field of fintech. Emory Goizueta is based in Atlanta, Georgia, a growing fintech hub where roughly 70% of all US debit, credit, and prepaid card transactions are processed, giving it its nickname “Transaction Alley.” Already a leader in payments ($8B), Atlanta is attracting fintech firms across the ecosystem, and Emory is right there, making it a great place to consider if you’re looking to leverage the MBA.

The talk will focus on the career journey and advice from three MBA graduates and fintech professionals in London and Atlanta, who leveraged their MBA education to build the skills and relationships that helped them to break into the field:

Kelly Pettersen, who graduated from Esade in Spain and is in Institutional Sales, Trading & Prime for EMEA at Coinbase
Mari Kikaleishvili, a recent MBA graduate of Emory’s Goizueta Business School and Product Manager at Fiserv
Avi Sinha is also a recent Goizueta MBA graduate and Client Consulting Manager at Visa.

The conversation will take place virtually, on September 13, at 5:30 pm ET, and registration is via Eventbrite. MBAchic will dive into questions like what do the paths into FinTech look like? How did you break into the field? What role did your MBA play? What are you looking forward to in this field? and more.
