I HAD the honor to represent the SEC PhiliFintech Innovation Office (PIO) at a panel discussion with the theme 'FinTech Beyond Covid-19: What Next?' during the 15th Regional Leadership Program for Securities Regulators last Aug. 23, 2021. This was co-organized by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Toronto Centre, an independent, nonprofit organization that delivers capacity-building programs in the areas of banking, insurance, securities, pensions, microfinance and microinsurance supervision.

I joined a panel of highly esteemed fintech authorities: Sopnendu Mohanty, chief fintech officer of MAS; Rahul Banerjee, BondEvalue founder; and Shane Tregillis, Toronto Centre program leader, former Australian Securities and Investment Commission commissioner, and former chief ombudsman of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority.
