In this episode, my special guest is Todd Ablowitz, a friend of 27 years and an industry veteran serving the same span.

In 2014, Todd along with Deana Rich Co-founded Infinicept, making them both Co-founders and Co-CEOs.

Infinicept provides tools and services that enable companies to get payments going their way.

Todd is a globally recognized authority on payment technology and emerging payments trends. As a well-respected thought leader in the industry, investors, media, analysts and industry watchers rely on Todd for expert advice, trend insights, and consulting.

An early adopter of the Payment Facilitator, and embedded payments model, since 2020 Infinicept has experienced exponential growth, tapping into the embedded finance market, which is projected to reach $585 billion by 2030.

In this episode, among other actionable takeaways, Todd shares his perspective on why Fintech is one of the hottest areas of innovation right now; opportunities and cautions.

Todd also talks about what he believes to be the greatest challenges facing the Payments/Fintech space today.

During our chat, Todd was impassioned, paying homage to those who have helped or influenced him on his journey. Among the many include Diane (Vogt) Faro, an industry icon, Scott Wagner, Mohammed Anwar Khan, Charles Drucker, Henry Helgeson, Eula Adams, and Samir Govil. (giving credence to “It takes a village…”)

Todd will be taking us on his journey; one of perseverance, setbacks, and dogged determination that transformed him into the entrepreneur he has become.

For Infinicipt the future is “blue sky,” with Todd and Deana remaining focused on their mission, steering the company on its continuum of excellence and growth.
