Finovate: Renaud Laplanche Selected as Fintech Executive of the Year, Lisa Kimball Fintech Woman of the Year

Finovate has announced its selection of individuals and firms in the Fintech sector that have had an exemplary year. This is the group’s second go at doing the Finovate Awards and this year is obviously a bit different due to the ongoing pandemic shifting events to the virtual realm.

Of note, is that Renaud Laplanche, founder and CEO of Upgrade, was selected as Fintech Executive of the Year.

Lisa Kimball from Finicity won the Fintech Woman of the year.

Steve McLaughlin, founder & CEO at FT Partners – the leading Fintech investment bank, issued the following comment on Laplanche’s win:

“Renaud is one of the very few people in the world who’s ever been the founding CEO of 2 unicorns. He is one of the most prominent and influential figures in Fintech, and very much deserves the Finovate Fintech Executive of the Year Award.”
