About Scott Harkey
With over two decades of experience at the intersection of financial services, technology, and innovation, I’ve built and led high-performing teams, launched transformative products, and guided some of the world’s leading banks, fintechs, merchants, and technology firms through complex digital change.My career has spanned roles from hands-on technology leadership to executive strategy. In that time my work has ranged from from pioneering work on Apple Pay and early tokenization initiatives at Bank of America, to founding and scaling the Payments and Financial Services Practice at Levvel into a globally recognized business. At Endava, I held multiple executive positions including Chief Strategy Officer, where I led the development of the company’s 3-year AI-native strategy, and Global Head of Marketing & Partnerships, where I delivered a full rebrand, expanded into new regions, and built a modern digital marketing engine.I hold a number of payment-related patents, was recognized as a “40 Under 40” by both the Electronic Transactions Association and the Charlotte Business Journal, and am a frequent speaker on digital banking, fintech, and payments innovation. I’m also proud to play an active role in fostering Charlotte’s fintech ecosystem.I earned my MIS degree from UNC Charlotte and my MBA from NC State University, and live in Charlotte, NC with my wife, daughter, and twin boys.Let’s talk if you\'re working on the future of payments, AI in financial services, or transforming your business for what’s next.
