Financial Services & Fintech
Bridging Traditional Finance and Innovation
The financial services sector is experiencing unprecedented transformation. Traditional institutions are reimagining their business models while FinTech disruptors mature into established players. Success requires leaders who can bridge both worlds – understanding regulatory complexity while driving innovation at pace.
​
At Zell Consulting, we've built relationships across this evolving ecosystem over three decades, from global investment banks to emerging payments platforms.
