Christopher Lotz Bet on the Boring Part of Fintech
A yacht underwriter crossed oceans, learned the machinery of risk, and came home to rebuild renters insurance around a plain idea: the customer should be on the same side as the company.
Nanna Nielsen
Nanna Nielsen is the Chief Business Officer of Critical Loop, a Los Angeles-area industrial power company that helps factories, airports and data centers get electricity in days instead of years by pairing battery storage with autonomous control software. A Danish-born operator who once ran banking operations for fintech unicorn GoCardless - overseeing more than $52 billion in transactions for 93,000+ businesses - she now applies that same operational rigor to fixing America's grid bottleneck. The company raised a $26 million Series A in April 2026.
Nihad Rahman
Nihad Rahman is the CEO of ezCater, the Boston-founded online marketplace that turns office lunch into logistics across 100,000+ restaurants. He joined in 2022 as CFO after two decades in finance at JPMorgan Chase and General Electric, stepped in as interim chief in January 2025, and was handed the permanent job that May - succeeding 16-year co-founder Stefania Mallett. He runs a roughly 850-person company from Bronxville, New York, commuting to the downtown Boston headquarters rather than the other way around.
