About Jim Henderson

I’m a product leader in payments and consumer lending, known for building platforms that scale while meeting regulatory demands. Recently, I’ve been layering in emerging tools like automation and applied AI, keeping my core fintech expertise sharp while exploring new ways to accelerate growth. With more than 20 years of experience in fintech, I’ve launched card programs, designed loan management systems, and delivered end-to-end lending and payment solutions that balance growth, compliance, and user experience. I’ve consistently helped startups and high-growth companies move from concept to scale, taking platforms from zero to meaningful ARR by aligning product strategy, technical execution, and partnerships. Working in highly regulated, fast-paced environments has given me a deep appreciation for building products that are both innovative and operationally sound. Alongside my core fintech work, I’ve been experimenting with RAG systems, workflow orchestration (e.g, n8n), and database design improvements through side projects such as FFA Sports. This hands-on work keeps me current with modern architectures while giving me new perspectives on how automation and intelligence can enhance lending and payments platforms. What ties it all together is my ability to translate complex challenges into scalable, compliant, and user-friendly platforms, whether advising startups, leading product strategy, or driving growth at established fintechs. On a personal note, I am huge sports fan and a forever student of the game of golf! I am also a Dallas Cowboys fan, which has been a burden of love for so many years, but I am all the way in! I look forward to meeting you! You can reach me at j••••••••@gmail.com
