The Experience
Alongside New York Fashion Week and FinovateFall 2026, this is an intimate, off-agenda gathering with an emphasis on high-quality conversation, precise matchmaking, and future-shaping relationships. On Tuesday, September 8, we’ll gather in an intimate Manhattan venue, right as the two conferences begin. This invite-only evening is at the intersection of fintech, fashion, and modern commerce. The experience is designed for decision-makers across both industries who are transforming how fashion is bought, financed, and experienced over the next decade.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE ROOM
Kseniya Zaslavskya has led financial institution partnership and business development operations at Wysh, supporting the startup’s life‑insurance expansion to over $1 billion in coverage and 15,000 lives protected. Her work contributes to Wysh’s recognition as a leading term life provider, embedded protection innovator, and champion of more equitable systems in financial protection. Today she focuses on shaping partner programs and event experiences, including panels, conferences, and community initiatives that bring fintech leaders, banks, and mission‑driven organizations into the same room around access and inclusion. In recognition of her work building trust‑based networks around mission‑driven fintech, she was named one of NYC Fintech Women’s 2025 Inspiring FinTech Females in the Network Builders category.
Tracey Windsor (née Katof) is a researcher and author at the intersection of fashion supply chains and economics, with work published by Springer Press, Springer Nature, and Edward Elgar Publishing, including a recent volume edited by IMF macroeconomist Nicoletta Batini. As co‑founder of Windsor Edge Studios, she designs and runs video‑first executive positioning and content systems for fintech and other B2B companies, turning complex products into clear, deal‑driving conversations. Previously, she worked as an analyst in specialty aerospace finance, focused on structured private‑equity financing solutions in aviation. She also spent a decade producing, choreographing, and performing in video and stage productions, work that now underpins how she designs live conversations and visual narratives for executives.
Yin Mei is a strategist, engineer, and ecosystem builder who leads Moss Path Labs, a technical consultancy creating people‑first digital products in climate, health, food systems, and emerging markets. Previously, she has led strategy, operations, and innovation roles across fintech, health, education, and climate‑related tech sectors. A long‑standing community organizer and event producer, she has helped shape quarterly programs from BarCamp Beijing and TEDxBeijing to alumni network gatherings that connect local communities around tech and learning. She is also an interdisciplinary artist, creating interactive sound and installation works that explore how people experience their daily rituals and shared environments.
Sophie Abrahamsson is an LVMH award-winning retail-tech leader and Business Book Club founder with 15+ years across retail, e-commerce, and tech in Europe and the U.S. She now works as an executive consultant, most recently partnering with brands like Epidemic Sound, Sheertex, and Vanish Standard, with work that sits at the intersection of product, brand, and revenue. She helps leadership teams translate product into commercial performance, drive investor confidence or a GTM blueprint, and build narrative architecture that turns complexity into clear, accessible brand and buyer language.
