Layla is a popular figure amongst FinTechs and banks alike. She is often seen at events conversing with influential stakeholders from startups and financial institutions. Which is exactly how Disruption Banking met her for the first time a few weeks ago, in the company of a banking veteran, Steve Suarez, Global Head of Innovation, Global Functions at HSBC. For the last three years Layla has been driving the message of TechPassport in the UK and across the world.
