She holds the conviction that inclusive innovative financial technologies offer a unique opportunity to alleviate poverty by extending access to persons beyond the last mile who are excluded from traditional financial services, as such, products and services developed by regulated entities should aim at harnessing and including such hitherto excluded persons.
