2015年Fintech Finance 35：Jonathan Korngold，大西洋

历史重复 - 或者，更精确，不断发展 - 在大西洋。基于纽约的增长股票公司是DOT-COM代厚的，帮助指导e *贸易金融公司等公司和Priceline集团走向长期可行性，它仍然强劲。威廉·福特（William Ford）与早期的成功密切认同，于2007年从总统升起了首席执行官;Jonathan Korngold.has been head of the global financial services sector since 2012. For Korngold, a Harvard Business School MBA and Goldman Sachs Group alumnus who joined the firm in 2001, ten years after Ford did, it’s not technology alone but also “the level of regulation that is driving massive change” in the financial industry. As capital-constrained banks pull back from certain markets, “huge swaths of the financial services sector are no longer economically viable to be served by traditional institutions, which also often struggle to adapt their business practices to the rapidly changing preferences of the consumers.” Therein lies opportunity for upstart companies to fill the breach. A case in point is nonprime consumer lending. Marketplace lender Avant, for which General Atlantic led a $325 million Series E financing in October, is “uniquely capable” of serving this segment “in a fair and transparent manner” through innovative technology and underwriting techniques, says Korngold, 41, who is joining the Chicago-based company’s board. He’s bullish on payment services: Two GA investments, Amsterdam-based Adyen and Sweden’s Klarna, fall into the category of “e-commerce enablement”; the former, which supports transactions in 187 currencies, is the global payments partner of Airbnb and Uber (both GA portfolio companies). Korngold stresses the global view and nature of the strategy, and the approximately 20 team members in the Americas, Europe and Asia who support it.
