Turning Disruption into Opportunity in Banking and Fintech

We help sales and marketing teams at banks and fintechs win in disruption—by building stronger pipelines, accelerating client acquisition, and driving faster, more successful product launches

Our focus is on supporting the people closest to growth:

relationship managers, product marketers, and their team leads.

We equip them with the skills, tools, and mindset to adapt to shifting markets, engage clients effectively, and deliver measurable results.

Through tailored consulting, training, and coaching, we enable teams to not only hit today’s targets but also build the resilience and agility required to succeed in tomorrow’s competitive, regulated, and fast-moving environment.

Why We Focus on Banking and Fintech

 

We’ve been in your shoes. Nearly a decade in banking at First Republic taught us how trust, relationships, and execution drive results. Later, at IBM iX, we helped banks launch digital products, transform customer journeys, and adapt to regulatory and tech change.

Today, through our boutique practice, we bring that combined expertise to sales, marketing, and mid-level leaders at banks and fintechs—delivering tailored, high-impact support that drives growth and accelerates product adoption.
