In a recent LinkedIn post, Lissele Pratt announced her upcoming role as a moderator at the Web Summit in Lisbon, a significant milestone in her career trajectory.

“It’s finally happening. One of the biggest tech stages in the world. Surrounded by minds shaping the future of fintech.”

The Web Summit, scheduled from November 10-13, 2025, is set to gather over 70,000 attendees from 160 countries, all focused on innovation and the future of technology. Pratt will be moderating two key panels, delving into critical areas of the fintech landscape.

Fintech’s Evolving Landscape

The Stablecoin Revolution

The first panel, titled “The Stablecoin Sandwich,” is scheduled for November 13th at 10:15 AM. This session will explore the symbiotic relationship between stablecoins and fiat currencies, examining how their integration can accelerate cross-border payments across various sectors, including gaming, trading, and remittances. Pratt will be joined by industry experts Chris Harmse of BVNK, Lindsey Argalas of TaxBit, and Farooq M. from Rain.

AI-Driven Customer Experiences

Following this, Pratt will moderate “Fintech With Feeling: AI Beyond Automation” at 1:45 PM on the same day. This panel will focus on the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI) in moving fintech beyond mere transaction processing. As Lissele Pratt highlights, the discussion will delve into how these technologies can foster intelligent and adaptive customer experiences.

“How AI and GenAI can help fintech evolve beyond transactions into intelligent, adaptive customer experiences.”

The panel for this discussion will feature Sean Neville from Catena Labs and Clare Gambardella from Zopa. Pratt’s involvement in these discussions underscores her growing influence in the fintech space, moving from her early days in retail to moderating conversations that define the industry’s future.

Connecting and Collaborating

Beyond the panels, Pratt also plans to record interviews at the Web Summit Podcast Booth, engaging with fintech leaders on the future of payments, AI, and innovation. According to Lissele Pratt, she is keen to connect with fellow attendees who are interested in partnerships, fintech, payments, entrepreneurship, or podcasts.

“If you’ll be at the summit, let’s connect. Whether it’s partnerships, fintech, payments, entrepreneurship, or podcasts. I’d love to meet and collaborate in person.”

Pratt extended an invitation for direct messages for those interested in participating in her private interviews, offering a chance to share insights on fintech and AI. This proactive approach to networking and knowledge sharing reflects her dedication to fostering collaboration within the tech community.
