An interview with Charlotte Crosswell: UK FinTech innovation in a global context

Why you should watch: Charlotte Crosswell is one of FinTech’s movers and shakers. A month or so ago, Charlotte stood down as CEO of Innovate Finance, a position she held for almost four years. In this wide-ranging interview, we talk about her own next steps, implementation of the Kalifa Review (which she co-authored while at Innovate Finance), the CMA/DMU approach to FinTech M&A, the need to improve domestic growth funding, the role for universities in start-ups’ innovation, the relationship with the EU vis-a-vis capital markets, as well as tapping into emerging markets’ dizzying FinTech growth. This is all about keeping the UK at the cutting edge of global FinTech innovation.
