Christopher Bulin

Christopher Bulin

Christopher has over twenty years of experience in payments, with deep exposure to how merchants, processors, and platforms navigate fraud, risk, and compliance requirements. He also spent five years building a startup focused on improving how merchants achieve and maintain PCI compliance, gaining firsthand experience with both the technical and operational challenges of regulated environments.

Although that company did not succeed, the time spent building it provided direct insight into how compliance frameworks work in practice and where they fail under real-world conditions.

Christopher now works in workforce and staffing operations at Express Employment Professionals, where documentation, verification, and trust directly impact hiring decisions, reimbursements, and employee outcomes. His perspective is grounded in practical experience across payments, compliance, and workforce systems rather than academic theory.

Jon Schubin

Jon Schubin

Jon Schubin is a financial communications strategist and writer with more than fifteen years working at the intersection of fintech, capital markets, and the media that covers them.

He speaks and writes about how financial companies communicate in a world being reshaped by AI, shifting regulation, and changing audience behaviour — and why so much of what gets said sounds identical. His particular interest is in the gap between what financial brands claim and what their audiences actually hear: where thought leadership becomes noise, where conference consensus hardens into cliché, and where a genuinely distinct point of view can still cut through.

His analysis covers the technology, business models, and narratives driving change across payments, banking, capital markets, and digital assets — with a focus on what the industry's own language reveals about where it is actually heading.

Jon is Global Head of Content at Cognito, the specialist financial communications firm, where he works with leading institutions and challengers across New York and London. He speaks Russian and is working on a long-term reporting project on Ukraine and the surrounding region.

Rajiv Chaitanya is an applied machine learning researcher who enjoys taking models out of papers and stress-testing them against reality. His work focuses on reinforcement learning, financial ML, and reproducible ML systems, with a particular interest in understanding where sophisticated methods actually help, and more importantly, where they quietly fail.

Tara Saxon

Tara Saxon

Tara Saxon is a Certified Money Coach, keynote speaker, and founder of The Intentional Wealth Co., where she helps high-achieving women build deep, grounded confidence with money - not just on paper, but in real life, under pressure, and at moments that truly matter.

Her work sits at the intersection of money psychology, decision-making, and identity. Tara is known for translating complex financial concepts into clear, human conversations that leave women feeling empowered rather than overwhelmed. She brings both commercial acumen and compassion to the room, blending practical strategy with insight into the emotional and intergenerational patterns that quietly shape our financial choices.

With a background spanning banking, project finance, and equities research, Tara understands high-stakes environments and big numbers. But it’s her ability to name what women aren’t taught about money - self-trust, internal permission, and the cost of chronic self-doubt - that resonates most deeply with audiences.

Tara speaks to organisations, conferences, and leadership audiences who want more than surface-level motivation. Her sessions spark reflection, challenge inherited beliefs, and give participants practical ways to make confident decisions without burning out, shrinking back, or second-guessing themselves.

Her signature message is simple and powerful: money isn’t just math - it’s mindset, memory, and identity. And when women change the way they relate to money, they change the way they lead their lives.

Hriday Gabhawalla

Hriday Gabhawalla

Hriday Gabhawalla is a rising professional in business process solutions, currently working at Deloitte in India, where he leverages his expertise to drive efficiency and innovation in operational workflows. Holding a commerce background from Narsee Monjee College of Commerce & Economics and pursuing the globally recognized ACCA qualification, Hriday combines academic excellence with hands-on industry experience.
He is also the creator of the LinkedIn newsletter The Automated Advantage, where he delivers weekly insights on practical frameworks for harnessing AI to transform business processes.
His passion for rebuilding workflows isn't just theoretical. While still a student, he was struck by how most accounting software failed to enforce fundamental financial controls, forcing users into manual bypasses. He realized this "control gap" was an architecture problem.
This led him to build "ProAcc," a full-stack MVP to prove that robust, auditable controls—like Segregation of Duties—can be embedded directly into a modern web app. For the project, he used Next.js 15, TypeScript, and Google's Genkit to build a system that enforces a "Maker-Checker" workflow and immutable audit trails from the ground up.
An engaging and forward-thinking speaker, Hriday excels at demystifying automation and its impact on finance. His talk offers a unique perspective: he doesn't just discuss theory; he provides an actionable, code-level blueprint drawn from his multifaceted journey.
Beyond the professional realm, Hriday is a dedicated HYROX athlete, having recently competed in the 2025 Mumbai event, demonstrating his commitment to holistic growth.
