Speaker: Victor Santos, Co-Founder & Former CEO at Airfox 

Speaker Bio: As a tech entrepreneur, my focus is on FinTechs, financial services, and emerging markets. My previous experience ranges across mobile, AdTech and telecom. UC Berkeley graduate and ex-Googler recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneur and MIT Technology Review 35 Under 35 Innovator in LATAM for creating AirFox's banQi digital neo-bank aimed at enabling more affordable financial services to the underbanked Brazilians at the bottom of the pyramid. Ubiquitous and affordable access to financial services remains the most challenging problem in helping empower the underserved populations of the world.

Airfox was recently acquired by ViaVarejo, one of Brazil’s largest retailers.
