291: Make Trade Easy, with MODIFI
Nelson Holzner is the CEO and Co-Founder of MODIFI, a global financial services technology brand. With a background as a lawyer and in private equity, Holzner transitioned into fintech, previously founding a company he sold to Klarna. Inspired by the clunky and complicated nature of global trade finance, he co-founded MODIFI to create a seamless digital platform for business payments and trade management. Holzner is passionate about empowering small and medium-sized businesses, providing them with the liquidity and risk management tools necessary to compete on a global scale and challenge the traditional, inefficient systems in finance and supply chain.
Today I’m joined by MODIFI, a forward-thinking global financial services technology brand who are on a mission to reinvent global commerce – despite supply chain disruption.
