How Six Innovators Went From Lean To Mean In Payments
|
Lessons From Lean Startups
|
 Would many more payments ventures succeed than fail if they looked more like "lean startups"?
That is the core question that Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup, and Mark Lavelle, Senior Vice President of PayPal and co-Founder of Bill Me Later, will address in their 90-minute interactive keynote session, "Lessons From Lean Start Ups: How Six Innovators Went From Lean To Mean In Payments."
Ries and Lavelle will discuss and debate the merits and challenges of adopting lean startup techniques in an environment that is as massively complex as payments. This session will include five other C-Suite executives who have applied lean techniques in their own startup organizations and will share what worked well, what didn't, and what modifications to the lean startup methodology might have to be considered in order to fully ignite innovation in payments and commerce. They are: Jacob de Geer, CEO and founder of Sweden's iZettle, Ken Paull, CEO of ROAM, Eric Remer, Founder and CEO of PaySimple, Scott Thompson, CEO of ShopRunner, and Bill Weingart, Chief Product Officer at Vantiv.
