S3 Ep7: Meet The COO Fighting For Fintech Equity, With Dr Iyandra Smith Bryan
Dr Iyandra Smith Bryan has enough energy and experience to achieve anything, but it was in fintech she really found her place in the world.
Nicole and Iyandra get into the kind of conversation you’re going to want to grab a pen and paper for. Iyandra is the C-Suite exec who loves problem solving. She also believes in true authenticity and questioning the rules.
In this no-holds barred conversation, she and Nicole tackle everything from wearing heels, to her role as COO at Quantfury, plus how she’s inspiring other women in fintech to step up and take their place at the top table.
