Colton Pond has spent his career going deep on fintech, not just marketing it. Having worked inside the ecosystem at MX, Truv, LoanPro, and now Socure, he has developed a genuine obsession with how financial infrastructure actually works: the rails, the risk models, the identity plumbing most people never see.

That obsession shows up everywhere. He hosts Fintech Tea, a podcast pulling unfiltered hot takes from the sharpest operators in financial services. He runs Fintech Fakers Weekly, a LinkedIn series channeling the voices of fintech's biggest names to expose industry blind spots. He held the Salt Flats Summit, an invite-only forum for 500 fintech operators that went viral as "Fintech Burning Man," and produces Socure's Identity Summit, the industry's leading gathering on digital identity and fraud.

He serves as Socure's CMO, focused on one thing: winning the war on AI-driven fraud.
