Description

H@H: Ep 41 - Dawa Ardiles joins host Ray Guan on this week’s episode of Here@Haas. Currently the head of marketing for Brightflow AI, and serving as President of the Haas FinTech Club, Dawa hails from Argentina and is passionate about the intersection of finance and technology. Dawa talks to us about the exciting opportunities that FinTech holds for Latin America, especially in its ability to give people access to financial instruments many Americans take for granted.  Episode QuotesOn industries within FinTech: “...we have many industries within the FinTech industry. So you have payments, you have Venmo, PayPal. You'll have digital loans. There's a really cool one in Latin America called Nubank [that’s] entirely digital. Then you have blockchain. [There] are so many different industries within FinTech and that's I think what makes it very, very interesting."Democratization of finance: “FinTech gives people [in countries like Argentina] access to saving money, to investing their money, and to… being able to have a credit card or a debit card. [It gives] people access to something that we usually take for granted.”Advice for international prospective students: “We come from diverse backgrounds, from many different countries, but I think that there's some underlying similarities within all of that. Make sure you like the school’s culture and then figure out what your goals are.”ResourcesHaas FinTech ClubMercado LibreSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/here-at-haas/donations
