Leadership Journey: From Legacy Bank to Fintech Foundry

I'm joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by Rakefet Russak-Aminoach, a trailblazer in digital banking innovation. Rakefet led the transformation of Bank Leumi into Israel's most profitable and forward-thinking bank before becoming a managing partner at Team8, a fintech foundry.

We explore her transition from traditional bank to Team8 and delve into the unique foundry model that drives its mission of innovation and growth.

Rakefet sheds light on the strategies that enable fintech firms to navigate changing funding dynamics and balance innovation and stability. Her insights offer a perspective on the intersection of established banking wisdom and the nimbleness of startups.

Additionally, Rakefet's dedication to diversity, gender equality and empowerment takes center stage as we discuss her contributions to fostering a more inclusive fintech industry.
