Francis Forde has spent much of his life living between Barbados, New York and Boston. He moved to the Bay Area to pursue a career in fintech. He studied law in New York. Prior to law school, he studied biomechanics at the University of Florida (UF). While at UF he was a graduate teaching assistant and research assistant.
Currently, he leads the compliance department at a fintech company. His duties include managing and scaling the compliance, legal and risk functions at the company. The work is particularly rewarding because it is novel and cutting edge. It also sits at the intersection of culture, finance and technology.
