Any business needs Innovators to stay competitive, and Rebels to survive. That's the thesis of the book written by Matteo Rizzi and based on 20 years of lateral thinking, and a rather unusual corporate and entrepreneurship experience. With author's background in financial services, and using concrete examples of disruptive innovation as one of the biggest opportunities that everyone should be taking into consideration, this is an inspirational journey where - hopefully - misfits get a spot to be heard, and everyone gets an opportunity to understand a different innovation perspective.

Matteo Rizzi has been appointed several times one of the most influential fintech executives in Europe. With 20+ years of experience in technology and financial services, he spent 13 years at SWIFT - where he co-founded Innotribe, the world famous innovation arm of the cooperative. Matteo then pioneered with Innotribe the first global challenge for fintech entrepreneurs. He became in 2013 one of the first venture capitalists to focus solely on financial services innovation, first as a partner then as an advisor to bank's led investment vehicles. Matteo also co-founded FinTechStage, an innovation consulting company focused on building financial eco-systems globally.
