When we talk about a company’s legacy, there’s sometimes a tendency to think about the past. In our digital landscape, though, a legacy is something that very much lives with the decisions we make in the here and now. Because of this, we see no better time for us to chat with Vice Chairman Ann Cairns on the latest episode of ‘What’s Next In’ about some of the foundational topics that are shaping Mastercard’s legacy.

In this episode, Ann dives into the impact technology can have on our world regarding change, progression and evolution. She also speaks about the many opportunities we have to make a lasting impact on the fintech business.

From her exciting time working on an oil rig to her stint at Lehman Brothers, she also chats about her approach to risk and how a company can ensure they’re making good decisions.

But what about the fun stuff? We find out what actress may play Ann in her biography and in what famous American city was she living during the filming of an iconic ‘80s teen comedy. Hint: It was windy.
