Expert Profile : Chloé Gueguen is a Fintech specialist and a relentless advocate of leveraging advances in digital and mobile technology to create meaningful financial solutions for low-income people. Convinced that Digital Financial Services (DFS) and financial inclusion share the same DNA, she co-launched the ‘Fintech TWIN$’ initiative (for “Tech World Investing in iNclusive finance$”), a Fintech road-trip and research project comparing FinTech ecosystems by interrogating, on the ground, those Fintech startups, banks and MNOs who innovate in inclusive digital finance. Previously working as a Market Insights Manager for the GSMA Connected Women programme, Chloé contributed to various research projects and worked directly with mobile operators to address the barriers to women accessing mobile money and mobile internet in Africa. Chloé holds an MBA and has relocated to Cairo to further explore advances in digital financial inclusion across Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.
