Meet Ghela Boskovich a self-proclaimed Fintech fanatic and Founder of FemTechGlobal™, a network dedicated to challenging the status quo, and improving the inclusiveness and diversity in Financial Services.
A frequent keynote speaker and editorial contributor, Ghela focuses on how to fast-track internal innovation, specifically on the practical application and commercialization of fintech/bank collaboration. She has a distinct preoccupation with modernizing legacy banking systems, disruptive business models, and facilitating banks’ emerging technology consumption. Her primary focus and expertise is in constructing Proof of Concept/Proof of Value scenarios and experiment design, including tech sprint mapping and process solutions for commercial pilot programs.
Boskovich’s regulatory background makes her a careful observer of regulatory changes in the industry. According to Continuity’s Banking Compliance Index, the second quarter of 2019 saw 56 regulatory changes for the financial services industry in the U.S. But as Boskovich notes, administrations in both the U.S. and Europe are seeking to roll back certain regulations, such as portions of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. These are not just esoteric details -- regulation can play a crucial role in fostering -- or stymying -- bank-fintech collaboration.
