William Capuzzi - CEO of Apex - WealthTech's Stripe; the fintech for fintechs

HI FINTECHTALKERS, (follow me on Twitter (X) for lively discussions on these topics @PADDYRAMANATHAN),

I sat down with William Capuzzi, CEO of Apex Fintech Solutions (also a board member at DTCC and a prolific investor) on the sidelines of the Money20/20 show this week in Las Vegas. We covered a lot of topics including why Bill challenges himself to run triathlons, what is his mission at Apex, and how he and his team are enabling average retail investors to invest like hedge fund managers; Apex’s new fractional fixed income product; the transformative role that AI and generative AI will play in the wealth management business and in closing how he follows key advice from Greg McKeown’s Essentialism - the disciplined pursuit of less.

I have included a table of timestamps for easy navigation:
