NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2018 - Money20/20 and Feedzai have partnered to bring Sir Richard Branson, the legendary entrepreneur, philanthropist and Founder of the Virgin Group to Money20/20 USA for a headlining keynote session. Sir Richard will be interviewed on stage by Feedzai CEO, Nuno Sebastiao, as part of the Feedzai Frontiers Speaker Series and will highlight topics ranging from new technology to entrepreneurism to the future of money.
In Sir Richard's debut Money20/20 keynote session, Nuno & Sir Richard: New Tech, New Banks, New Frontiers, he will spotlight thoughtful insights and takeaways from his success in business, his philanthropic work with Virgin Unite and his take on the latest technology. Sir Richard has built a globally recognized brand spanning numerous consumer sectors, including financial services where he has recently launched Virgin Money - the UK's first true national competitor to the status quo. Drawing on his wide range of experiences, Sir Richard will share his experiences and what he has learned through brilliant stories, anecdotes and life lessons.
"I've always said 'screw business as usual.' All of our Virgin businesses have been built out of frustration - we've challenged the status quo and pushed the boundaries. Whether it's a new bank to challenge the incumbents or launching airlines, hotels and cruise ships which tear up the rule book – there will always be ways to positively disrupt the market for customers and exceed expectations."
"Money20/20 is excited to partner with Feedzai to welcome Sir Richard to our keynote stage," said Money20/20 President, Tracey Davies. "Each year, we connect our audiences with the industry's leading innovators, disruptors and visionaries. As someone who fits into all of the aforementioned categories and so much more, I'm both honored and eager to hear his insights firsthand."

These voices take a focus on the most pertinent disruptions impacting our society, such as AI and ethics, the reinvention of retail and managing risk in a digital world.
"We've had some great speakers join Feedzai Frontiers over the last few years, but it's not every day that we get time with an iconic figure like Sir Richard," said Nuno Sebastiao, Feedzai CEO and co-founder. "From overhauling the financial world to our shared experiences supporting space exploration, this is going to be one to remember."
