About Rachel Laryea
As a financial anthropologist, I operate at the intersection of strategy, product, and culture—helping organizations translate complex insights into growth, innovation, and meaningful market impact. My work spans fintech, wealth management, academia, and media, where I’ve led 0→1 initiatives, advised senior leadership, and built platforms that connect consumer behavior, economic opportunity, and business strategy. At JPMorganChase, I drove digital strategy and product innovation for wealth management clients, aligning cross-functional teams around high-impact initiatives. As a consultant to Esusu, I’ve worked directly with executive leadership to operationalize B2C growth strategy, develop market positioning, and identify expansion opportunities. Alongside my corporate experience, I am the author of Black Capitalists (published by Penguin Random House), where I explore the intersection of culture, finance, and economic power. That work has evolved into a broader platform spanning content, convenings, and partnerships focused on global diaspora connectivity and economic empowerment. Across everything I do, I’m focused on one core question: How do we turn insight into ownership, growth, and long-term value? Core Areas of Focus - 0→1 Strategy & Market Expansion - Product & Digital Experience Strategy - Strategic Partnerships & Ecosystem Building - Consumer Insights & Behavioral Research - Platform & Narrative Development I’m particularly interested in roles and collaborations at the intersection of technology, finance, and global markets.Website:
