Description

Ever catch yourself having such an easy, natural conversation with someone and then you look at your watch and time has gone quicker than you expected?

That's what happens this episode.

On this edition, time flies by as I chat with friend and colleague Jean Donnelly.  Through her work as founding Executive Director for FinTech Sandbox, a Boston based non-profit focused on supporting innovation amongst data oriented startups, Jean has become well known and respected in the FinTech and data and analytics spaces.

Jean has a fascinating backstory and during our time together we talk about:

• Her early days and the challenges she faced as a woman at a primarily male engineering college and in technology
• Her stints at GE and Fidelity, where, among other things, she teaches us the operational significance of the term "suck, squeeze, bang, blow"
• What it was like during her 6 years at FinTech Sandbox working with startups, entrepreneurs and large partner companies
• The post COVID environment and opportunities for innovation in FinTech
• What she is looking to do in her next chapter

I'm sincerely grateful to have gotten to know Jean and consider her as a Friend of Davein many regards.  She's a wonderful person, and I really think you will enjoy getting to know her better during this episode.
