Yasaman Hadjibashi is one of the most powerful global women in technology, and has a bunch of awards to prove it (we think it might be all the awards, but who’s counting). A brilliant conversationalist, her innate ability to make complex financial or technological concepts make sense for a variety of audiences is one of the things that sets her apart from so many others in her field and has established her as an international icon in the field of financial technology. Growing up in Tehran at the time of the Islamic revolution, she early on developed a love of learning, finance, and how technology can shape and advance the impact of both. Currently, in her role as Global Head of Data and Analytics for Citi Global Consumer Bank, she has continued to dedicate her career to championing ways to advance opportunities for consumers and improving the world we all live in. Our conversations went global as we unpacked her secrets to management, the pursuit of big dreams, and how collaboration and (occasional) conflict can best serve creativity.
