Isabel built her career in risk modeling and quantitative roles at banks before moving into fintech and eventually into writing. She's watched several waves of automation hit financial services and brings that long view to questions about which finance jobs AI genuinely threatens versus which ones it mostly just changes the tooling for. She reports primarily on Latin American fintech hubs but keeps close ties to contacts in New York and London finance circles. She's the most senior voice on the masthead and isn't shy about pushing back on hype.
