This week’s guest on the Searching for Mana show is Head of Plaid Europe, Ripsy Bandourian. A journey from Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Apple and Booking.com has led Ripsy to her most recent role at Plaid, helping to strengthen a Trans-Atlantic bridge for the open-banking leader.

How does open-banking enable the goal of accessible fiscal liberty for everyone, and what are Plaid doing to achieve that?

One of the tropes this podcast has covered across episodes is culture, and with Ripsy we explore how culture changes within a business as it scales, and what specific changes are necessary.

Lloyd also speaks with Ripsy on her background, with pivotal elements such as learning English through school and the freedom of choice in studies at university helping to shape a fantastic career.
