Episode #41 - Jenna Huey Ching, FortNynja

Ranked multiple times among the Top 100 Women in FinTech globally, and one of the absolute top voices for FinTech in Malaysia, Jenna is the Co-Founder of FortNynja, a cyber security startup. Previously, she was responsible, as part of the digital government initiative, for drafting the FinTech strategy for Malaysia. Jenna is passionate about making Fintech education available more broadly, and is one of the initiators of the E-Fintech School, which will run during July for 100 participants across the APAC region. Registrations are open until June 15 at the following link: https://efintechschool.peatix.com/ Participation is free once you get selected, however, you will need to post a bond that will get refunded upon completion of the program.  On this podcast, Jenna talks about the focus for the FinTech ecosystem in Malaysia (serving the underbanked rather than the unbanked at this point), the benefits of diversity across the Malay, Chinese and Indian populations, the ease of doing business in Malaysia and its unique position next to Singapore, and in the center of one of the most dynamic regions in the world. We also come to the conclusion that there is no way you can avoid putting on weight during your initial stay as the variety and quality of food is simply amazing.  Produced in collaboration with Tokyo FinTech.
