Alessandro Hatami - his name alone tells a wonderful story. Part Italian (a true Roman) and part Iranian, Alessandro is both both the nicest and most well dressed man I know in FinTech. He is the classic networker and matchmaker for companies which is perfect for his role at The Pacemakers. He is also one of the most active mentors for startups I know in the fintech space.
