“In the world of fintech, there are few—if any—analysts or influencers who are as sharp in their analysis, as spot on with their recommendations, and as clear with their vision of the future of fintech as Alex Johnson.”
Frank Rotman
Chief Investment Officer, QED Investors
“Many Fintech businesses require domain specific expertise to understand and as a result there are very few content creators who can write or talk about fintech companies and have something insightful to share. Alex Johnson’s Fintech Takes is one of the few sources of content that passes the bar and is a must read/listen.”
