Live from a buzzing room in NYC, this special Humans of Fintech episode brings two dynamic leaders to the stage: Nicole Mitchell, Partner at Aprio, and Tiffany Haynes, investor, advisor, and former COO of Fingercheck.

Nicole shares how she’s spent nearly 30 years as a connector, guiding founders to see the bigger picture and helping businesses grow beyond the numbers. From her bold beginnings to becoming a trusted advisor across industries, she unpacks the value of foresight and why she calls herself a “travel guide” for entrepreneurs.

Tiffany reflects on her move from corporate to fintech, where she scaled a bootstrapped company to a $150M exit. She discusses the strategies that kept her teams engaged, why timing matters more than speed, and how to make growth sustainable.

Together, they unpack how to “connect the dots” in leadership, scale, culture, and why the future of fintech belongs to leaders who see people first.
