"For me, FTT Lending is one of the best, most innovative conferences I've attended around lending and innovation in this space. I'm super excited to be here. I'm learning loads about open banking, I'm understanding about the consumer duty, and I feel like these are really the top hot topics that the industry faces today."

"I just hosted a panel on credit scores which is something that lots of people are very keen on at the moment. You know it's about how the future landscape of credit scores is changing. That was a great panel, but, personally, from a wider eye why I came here perspective, I run a money app for neurodivergent people to help them with all areas of money, and lending is something that we don't really cover within the app. And that's mainly because neurodivergence tends to be quite vulnerable when it comes to finance.
