Bethany Mackenzie

Overview

I started Opal Robotics to fix consumer finance for teams who were tired of the workarounds. Grew the team to 116 people across 4 countries. Before that: Barclays and Just Eat Takeaway. Most at home with growth and lending. I speak at conferences a couple of times a year.
