    Oleg Kachaling
    Rocket Firm Group co-founder

    In November 2024, I organised a conference focused on fintech, neobanks and digital financial services, and Igor was one of our keynote speakers. He gave a talk entitled 'Neobanks: Evolution, Differences and the Future" and immediately captured the audience's attention. Igor is not only a brilliant professional but also a truly powerful speaker - his presentation was dynamic, insightful and generated a lot of interest among the attendees.
