S6E7: Valla Vakili


Valla Vakili is head of Citi Ventures Studio, an incubator for financial services.

Vakili’s experience in technology companies, from Yahoo in its heyday to his own startup, has taught him that, to generate innovative ideas, it's necessary to turn to design:
It's not something you could do with a spreadsheet. It's not something you could do with competitive analysis. It's only something you can do by looking at an unexplored space and seeing possibility and then converting that possibility into options.
