FinTech Transforming Industry Across Categories
G. Scott Paterson
Founder and Chairman
FutureVault
"As Silicon Valley and Wall Street collide, FinTech is transforming the industry across categories, but new businesses are also carving out nascent product and service categories that connect businesses and clients like never before. One of the most integral categories is digital document management and collaboration through a digital safety deposit box. This new category is at the epicenter of FinTech as it bridges cloud data storage, wealth/legal advisory, insurance, big data, and infrastructure. Despite the tide of new technology available to consumers, there remains significant complexity in managing and organizing accounts and assets, especially between organizations/advisers and clients. The proliferation of point solutions and cloud storage services has fractionalized and distributed the access to one's information. Now, this new technology category aims to aggregate documents, accounts/assets for the end user into one hub."
Paterson is the founder and chairman of FutureVault, the sophisticated digital filing cabinet and safety deposit box. He is also an investment banker and media/technology entrepreneur and the former vice chairman of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Paterson currently serves as director and chair of the Audit & Risk Committee of Lions Gate Entertainment, a leading film and television production company with titles including "The Hunger Games," "Mad Men" and "Orange is the New Black"; chairman of Symbility Solutions, a cloud-based SaaS provider of software to the insurance industry; chairman of Engagement Labs, a cloud-based SaaS provider of software for marketers; chairman of privately held The QYOU, a multi-screen entertainment network that brings the world's most "must-watch" made-for-web video to TV providers; and director of privately held Giftagram, a fast-growing mobile app that affords consumers a personal gifting concierge.
