Expertise
Rédactrice en chef adjointe de mind Fintech, je couvre tout particulièrement la transformation de la banque de détail et du paiement, l’émergence des néobanques et challengers, le développement de l’open finance et les réglementations qui impactent le secteur (RSP et DSP, DORA, IPR, DCC, MiCA… j’ai développé une passion pour les acronymes barbares). En parallèle, j’anime régulièrement des tables rondes, débats et clubs d’experts, à la fois pour mind Fintech ou lors d’événements externes.J’ai débuté ma carrière en 2013 au Journal du Net, où j’ai couvert les start-up et le capital-risque puis lancé la rubrique fintech en 2016.
