Sheela arranged a speaker event in San Francisco to introduce my book "Understand, Manage, and Prevent Algorithmic Bias: A Guide for Business Users and Data Scientists" to the local Fintech community.

Sheela is truly a valuable industry mentor and resource in the Bay Area FinTech community.

Through her monthly events, I have made quality connections with other professionals in various sectors from payments and AI to RegTech, at leading firms. I’ve also learned about emerging trends and challenges from industry veterans.

Her insight and support helped me focus my transition to areas and companies that valued a financial services background within FinTech.
