As fintech companies transition from scrappy startups to scaled operations, traditional leadership models often hit their limits. The demands of managing complex partnerships, navigating regulatory requirements, and driving sustainable growth require a different kind of executive structure than the founder-led approach that got many companies off the ground. 

Today, I'm joined by Prashant Fuloria, CEO of Fundbox, and Anchit Singh, the company's Chief Business Officer, to explore how they've developed a collaborative leadership model that's helped drive Fundbox's evolution in the embedded finance space. We'll dig into the CEO-CBO dynamic, how they divide responsibilities, and what other growing fintechs can learn about building leadership structures that scale.

More than half of Americans report that they will run out of money when they stop earning a paycheck and millions haven't saved enough to maintain their standard of living in retirement, There is an urgent need to re-imagine the role record keepers play in financial wellness, and it starts by leveraging technology to close the gap between capabilities and customer expectations. 

“When I look at things like automatic enrollment and automatic increase, that's where it starts,“ explains Will Hicks, Head of FIS Global Retirement Products and Services. “Then it bleeds into the technology phase in terms of how you deliver that. How do you actually let participants know how that impacts their financial future?“.

The sector is in transition, where traditional retirement record keeping is expanding into comprehensive financial wellness platforms. Scott Parker, Partner at Deloitte Consulting and leader of their wealth retirement practice, notes that the industry is “at the cusp of taking it to the next level and getting outside of what we've always done in the past, which is more and more communication.“

The change is driven by both technological capabilities and changing expectations which center around integrated solutions: “Our clients are asking us to bring those solutions together, because they want a clear picture of not just their retirement, but what are they doing in the banking space?“ said Sherry Baker, SVP and Head of Global Wealth Products and Services at FIS. 
Listen to the podcast to discover how retirement industry leaders are breaking down traditional silos to deliver integrated financial wellness solutions that go far beyond the 401(k). Learn the role that modernization, data, personalization, and cybersecurity play in pushing record keepers forward. It's a conversation on record keeping organizations can meet regulatory requirements while meeting the daily engagement expectations of younger participants.

작년 11월 1일자 대만 고등학교 1학년 사회과 교과서의 부교재(翰林출판)에는 '한국기원론(韓國起源論)'에 관한 이야기가 실렸습니다.

한국기원론은 이집트 문명, 메소포타미아 문명, 인더스 문명, 황하 문명 등 세계 4대 문명보다 한국(고려) 문명이 최초라는 이론으로 많은 한국인들이 주장하고 있다고 말하고 있습니다. 아울러 한국기원론은 한자, 일본어, 도교를 비롯한 추석, 단오까지도 한국이 최초라고 주장한다며, 끊임없이 미디어에 오르내리고 있습니다.

 한국기원론은 모든 문명, 문자, 문화 등이 한국으로부터 기인했다는 이론으로 한국 사람에게는 다소 생소한 이론인데요. 이는 한국의 우월주의에서 온 학자들이 주장하고 있으며, 한국 역사교과서에도 세뇌교육을 통해 한국 학생들이 세계에서 인식하는 세계관과는 전혀 다른 세계관을 심어주고 있다는 것이 주요 쟁점입니다. 

이 교과서에는 "일본 언론 보도에 따르면"이라는 애매한 태도를 취하고 있는데요, 인용보도한 언론사 출처 역시 밝히고 있지 않습니다. 또한 이곳에 쓰여진 한국에서의 역사교육은  한국이 "한국 우월주의"에 근간해 역사를 새로 쓰고 있는 것으로 보여지고 있습니다.

이 사실을 제보한 임육정(林育呈, 고1) 학생은 "세계가 모두 한국에서 생겼다라는 말도 안되는 부실한 자료를 가지고 교과서를 만들어 정부로부터 인증을 쉽게 받았다는 사실에 (대만)정부의 능력에 강력한 의심을 품었다."라며 제보 동기를 밝혔습니다.

이 교재는 부교재로 사회수업 시간에 약 10여분 가량 소개하고 지나가는 식으로 이루어지고 있는 것으로 알려졌습니다.

 대만 언론에는 몇 년전부터 "공자는 한국사람이다"를 비롯하여 "왕건민(王建民, 대만 야구선수)은 한국사람이다", "예수도 한국 사람이다"라는 등의 이상한 소문이 돌기 시작했습니다. 사실 확인 없이 보도한 대만 언론 역시 문제임은 확실합니다. 하지만 교과서는 한술 더 떠 출처를 알 수 없는 확인 불가능한 글이 교육자료로 실려있습니다.
