Steven Hunter is the CEO and co-founder of 9fin, an AI-native data and intelligence platform for the roughly $145 trillion global debt markets. A former leveraged finance banker at J.P. Morgan and investment executive at Babson Capital Management, he quit banking in 2016 to build the tool he wished he had, teaming with his university roommate Hussam El-Sheikh. In March 2026 the company raised $170 million in Series C funding at a $1.3 billion valuation, and now serves 300-plus of the world's leading credit institutions from offices in London, New York, Belfast, and Hong Kong.
Tyler Boyd is the CEO of Youtility, a behavioral decision science company that models the emotional drivers behind consumer choices and feeds banks and brands real-time next-best-action recommendations through APIs. A Columbia-trained financier who spent nearly two decades in private equity, investment banking, and corporate strategy, Boyd moved from Wall Street deal rooms to the marketing-science world at Purple Strategies before sourcing and steering the merger of US fintech Squeeze with UK technology firm Youtility. He now runs the combined company across London and Richmond, Virginia, where its software counts Santander UK, Virgin Money, and Monese among its partners and recently closed a $4.2M seed round.
