New York NY, October 11, 2022 - Global tennis megastar and venture capitalist Serena Williams will join J.P. Morgan's Global Head of Payments, Takis Georgakopoulos for a fireside chat at this year’s Money20/20 USA.

The tennis legend recently shared the news that she's hanging up her racket to focus on her venture capital firm Serena Ventures. Since 2014, Williams’ firm has been funding diverse companies across all industries, including fintech and payments.

Scarlett Sieber, Money20/20’s Chief Strategy & Growth Officer will join Serena and Takis to discuss what's trending in payments, and how the digital and physical worlds are merging to create new financial experiences.

“Serena Ventures has a long track record of financing promising new ventures and ideas that have the power to create meaningful change,” Sieber said. “With investments spanning fintech, edtech and consumer product startups, Serena’s firm is poised to lead a global movement shaping the future of money. Takis heads up J.P. Morgan’s Payments business which moves nearly $10T per day, and has acquired, invested in, and partnered with numerous fintechs in recent years. I’m incredibly excited to chat with these two incredible leaders about what's next for Serena Ventures, J.P. Morgan Payments, and the innovation across the fintech landscape.”

Money20/20 is the world’s leading, premium content, sales and networking platform for the global money ecosystem. This year’s event promises the clearest and most distinctive focus on the future, across the world of payments, fintech and financial services.
