The Finnies 2020: Outstanding Fintech Leader finalists.
The Finnies are Australia’s national fintech awards, run each year by the industry body FinTech Australia. The 2020 Finnies ran as a mix of virtual and in-person events across September and October 2020, after a year that tested every fintech in the country.
Outstanding Fintech Leader is one of the Finnies’ individual-leadership categories, recognising the executives and founders driving Australian fintech forward.
