“ Fiserv is all about taking something from the whiteboard and bringing it to life . For me , that ' s the best part of it ”

SUNIL SACHDEV HEAD OF FINTECH AND GROWTH , FISERV
Opening up finance to the underserved When asked who he admires or looks up to in life , Sachdev gives a wry smile . There is the touching deferential nod to inspirational colleagues and bosses-gone-by – one of them being Ken Chenault , long-time CEO of American Express , where Sachdev worked for more than a decade . But then he admits to being a long-suffering New York Knicks supporter and a fan of the Rocky movie franchise .
“ I guess I enjoy the underdog story ,” he says . “ There ’ s something about those types of stories that really highlights the excellence of people , whether they ' re athletes or in other walks of life .”
This sentiment is pertinent to the role Fiserv plays in facilitating financial inclusion
