“Just because everyone wants you in a meeting doesn’t mean you have to be there.”

Our next Tech Leaders Hub guest brings an enormous wealth of fintech software engineering experience… and a very clear stance against stuffing developers’ calendars with meetings.

Scott Priddy has a track record few others in fintech can boast of.

He’s worked at both Visa (as a Senior Enterprise Architect) and Mastercard (as a VP of Software Engineering).

Oh, and he just happens to be one of the four people who started the PayPal office in Austin, Texas. No big deal!

Now, he’s the CTO at U-Pledge, a startup gearing up to unlock billions of dollars of additional liquidity for nonprofits around the US.

We couldn’t be more excited to have him on our show. Join us to benefit from his experience!

We'll cover:
  • The price you pay when you try to “include everyone” in meetings
  • Why some people compare career advancement in software engineering to the military
  • How to approach your strengths and weaknesses as a tech leader
  • The misconceptions tech leaders have about contracted resources impacting security
  • The hot topics in fintech right now from the perspective of an experienced tech leader in this space

Our guest:

Scott Priddy
CTO at U-Pledge
