Fintech newsletter relaunches under Sraeel

Holly Sraeel is becoming the editor in chief and publisher of FIN, a top 50 technology newsletter on Substack, which is relaunching as “FIN: The Fast Forward on Fintech,” with a new design and more dedicated areas of fintech innovation coverage.

Sraeel also plans a new podcast and live events as she works to build out FIN as a robust community for fintech leaders, companies, and funders.

James Ledbetter recently left FIN to become editor of thought leadership at KPMG.

She is a longtime business journalist, editorial director, media executive, and content strategist who has covered and/or worked with C-level executives in the global financial services, technology/fintech, and professional services industries for 25+ years.

Sraeel is a former executive team member of SourceMedia (now Arizent), a then-$300 million business media and information services company where she was one of only two women on the company’s operating committee. During her SourceMedia tenure, she was group editorial director of banking and technology magazine media brands; founder, president and editorial director of The Most Powerful Women in Banking and Finance Community (now part of American Banker but an independent division when she led it); and senior vice president of brand management.

She also cofounded and was chief content officer and general manager of Agility First!, an invitation-only peer-driven community launched by Genesys Partners for founders, C-level executives, and venture capitalists of advanced early- and mid-stage startups.
