Payments on Fire Episode 1, originally aired: September 7, 2014
Innovation in the payments industry is a funny thing. Sometimes payments lead. Sometimes technology leads. Increasingly around the world, regulators lead.
In preparing for an upcoming podcast on AI, Yvette thought about Glenbrook’s first Payments on Fire podcast episode – in 2014 – on Bitcoin. So we’re pulling it from the vault to share.
If you have ever wanted to be a fly on the wall while industry thought leaders contemplated the implications of something new, here’s your chance. This is eavesdropping at its best – and a great reminder that innovation and disruption are not just about technical feasibility.
Drawing on 24 years of experience in payments and risk management, Yvette has held many roles at Glenbrook, including facilitating Payments Boot Camp® workshops, hosting the Payments on Fire™ podcast, and developing industry-focused curricula. She is a “40 under 40” Portland Business Journal award recipient, Bank of America Inventor of the Year nominee, and the co-author of the highly anticipated “Payments Systems in the U.S. – Fourth Edition.”
Before joining Glenbrook, Yvette was the chief risk officer at eBay, a finance leader at Google, and the chief operations officer at YapStone. She has been an advisor to CapitalG and a mentor for 500 Startups. During her career, Yvette led payments strategy as a Director for Bank of America Merrill Lynch, led Global Payments Core Product Management at Amazon, and was a founder and the chief technology officer of PaylinX Corporation, which pioneered payment and fraud solutions for online merchants.
