In this episode of FintechTalks, Sanjib Kalita sits down virtually with Chris Black, CEO of Thread Bank, to explore the evolving financial services landscape and the role community banks play in powering fintech innovation.
Chris shares Thread Bank's growth story, the bank's technology-first approach to building modern financial infrastructure, and the leadership lessons he's carried from his time as an Air Force F-16 pilot—with plenty of aviation analogies along the way.
