Visionary Strategy. Pragmatic Execution.
#

Bridging the gap between the rigor of science and the chaos of innovation to make transformation investable.

With over 25 years of experience leading transformation across banking, insurance, and commercial software, John Januszczak brings a unique “Operator-Advisor” perspective to the stage. As the former President & CEO of UBX, he scaled the Philippines’ leading embedded finance platform from a white-paper concept to over $100B in transaction volume.

John’s talks are designed for Board Directors, C-Suite executives, and innovation leaders who are tired of “Innovation Theater” and are looking for the mechanics of real-world results.

1. The Future of Finance: Invisible & Embedded
