Today in the In the Suite guest chair we welcome Sasha Pilch, Co-Founder of NYC Fintech Women. Sasha arrived in the states after working for some of the biggest banks in London and her native city, Sydney, Australia. In just 2.5 years, Sasha went from not knowing a single soul in America to becoming one of the most important women leaders in NYC FinTech.
Sasha’s foray into FinTech in the states was accelerated through her relationship with Michelle Tran, who was considered a Fairy Godmother of FinTech in the city. The two began partnering together after Sasha attended one of Michelle’s events on a cold rainy New York evening. And it’s been magic ever since. The two went on to partner together to grow NYC FinTech and in less than two years, the organization has close to five thousand members, held over 50 events, distributes a weekly content series, and even put on their first FinTech Female Awards.
Sasha’s story reminds us of the importance of connection and how one connection can change the trajectory of a woman’s life.
