Two of our four Co-founders, Jacqueline Reses and Erica Khalili, have been named among the top leaders in Financial Services by The Financial Technology Report. Their recognition is a testament to the exceptional leadership and vision driving Lead’s success.
Jacqueline Reses was honored on the Top CEO list for her commitment to creating a better future by fostering emerging technologies in the financial space.
Erica Khalili earned her place on the Top Women Leaders list for her outstanding contributions to the industry. Her work is central to the evolution of embedded finance, as she brings diverse perspectives and plays an increasingly critical role in shaping the next generation of financial solutions.
The recognition of our co-founders is a direct reflection of the values embedded in Lead’s foundation. At Lead, we pride ourselves on being majority women-owned, with an executive leadership team that is 63% female and 50% URM (underrepresented minorities). Our board of directors is also 40% female, reinforcing the diverse, inclusive culture we’ve built from the top down.
We’re building the bank we want to see in the world—one that mirrors the real world and reflects our values of inclusivity and innovation. Lead is reshaping financial technology by combining cutting-edge solutions with a culture driven by purpose.
Congratulations to Jacqueline and Erica for this well-deserved recognition!
