We are proud to announce the appointment of Jason Mikula as Head of Industry Strategy for Banking and Fintech at Taktile

Jason is a well-known industry thought leader, publishing his Fintech Business Weekly newsletter, a frequent guest on popular podcasts, and a sought-after speaker and moderator at marquee industry events. 

At Taktile, Jason will help drive the innovation of our product, go-to-market, and communications strategy for the financial services industry.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Jason to Taktile,” says Co-Founder and CEO, Maik Taro Wehmeyer. “His deep experience in financial services and his unique familiarity with the entire ecosystem will allow us to fast-track our existing innovation momentum in the decisioning space. And right now, at a time of an unprecedented pace of product innovation in fintech and the emergence of various flavors of AI in real-life applications, the timing couldn’t be better.”

Jason has nearly 15 years of experience in financial services and has previously served as a Vice President at Goldman Sachs, working in customer acquisition marketing and product management for the world-renowned investment bank’s retail effort, Marcus, where he worked on both lending and savings products. Jason also has extensive experience in small-dollar lending, having worked at Enova and LendUp, as well as experience in private student lending and credit card programs.

“I’m looking forward to jumping in head first,” says Jason. “I spent more than 10 years interfacing with credit and fraud risk teams and thinking about how to optimize user journeys from application to approval and repayment. Now, I have the opportunity to go deep and influence the creation of the next generation of significantly more agile decisioning platforms and enable companies to iterate towards better decisions for themselves and their customers.”

In addition to his responsibilities as Head of Industry Strategy for Banking and Fintech at Taktile, Jason serves as a mentor with the Techstars-ABN Amro Future of Finance accelerator program, based in Amsterdam, and will continue to publish Fintech Business Weekly.
