WIL Talk #64 Heather Altepeter, CEO at National Merchants Association, Owner of Sweet Oaks Wine, Investor, Entrepreneur, Wife, Mother, Leader

How is AI opening up the world of Financial Services? And what impact will robots have on our lives in the very near future? Heather Altepeter, CEO and founder of the National Merchants Association join us to explore some of these questions and so much more. NMA has achieved remarkable success - securing a spot on the INC. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for 3 years consecutively, achieving a nearly $1B evaluation and securing partnerships that afford exclusive access to innovative payment solutions. Heather is known as the go-to strategist, a progressive leader, and a voice of significance in the payments industry. She has pioneered a new era in bankcards by demonstrating “High-Risk Done Right” is both possible and attainable. Heather shares with us what is coming down the pipeline, and how we might navigate some of those biases with tech and robots. How her creation of Lola was inspired and is impacting the way we do business and it will continue to evolve. How the data that comes out is only as good as the data that goes in so we need to get curious and ask those all-important questions. That taking the human out of the picture is not the objective or the answer. Interested in learning more about your own leadership?
