Highlight of the discussion will be around the new age of creating a cohesive workplace in the fast growing fintech space. How do companies use strategic talent manoeuvres (E&I) to attract the best talents to join the team? It's a challenging talent landscape currently even though there's a lot of companies undergoing recession.

3. Tell us a bit about what you do / your company / who you are looking to network with?

Lissele Pratt, Capitalixe

I’m Lissele Pratt and I started my journey in finance over 8 years ago at a FX company in central London. During my tenancy there, and together with my partner whom I met there, we identified a market gap where businesses in medium to high-risk industries were underserved by traditional financial systems. At the age of 23, I co-founded Capitalixe to help those outcast businesses access reliable payments and banking solutions to thrive and scale.

At Capitalixe, we’ve built (and keep growing) a global trusted network of regulated providers that specialise in working with medium to high-risk industries. We leverage on the latest digital trends and in our relationships with innovative fintech solutions to deliver full-service, tailored consultancy in the payments and banking space to help businesses stay ahead of the curve. Our mission is to match companies with the solutions best suited to their business needs while taking the pain away of researching the market, saving them the costly and time-consuming process of lengthy application processes.

The iFX EXPO is a prime platform for networking and I’m looking to meet professionals from various financial backgrounds, including banks, forex brokers, payment providers, and technology companies, I am eager to connect with these industry #leaders , share ideas, and forge strategic partnerships that will benefit our clients and partners, and help drive the growth of our business.
