Today, I had the privilege of visiting #MercadoLibre headquarters in Buenos Aires today, and I was blown away by what I learned. Despite being a massive player in e-commerce and fintech, they’ve managed to retain a founder’s mode, always innovating, always hustling, and never settling. We dove into how they’re leveraging inclusion and AI to compete, win, and disrupt across retail and payments, creating seamless customer experiences while staying ahead of the curve. It’s refreshing to see such a phenomenal success story thriving outside of Silicon Valley, proving that innovation truly knows no boundaries. Mercado Libre isn’t just a leader in Latin America, they’re setting a global legally example for what’s possible when you combine bold vision, relentless execution, financial inclusion and cutting-edge technology.

I recently read a brilliant article by Doug Sundheim where he masterfully points out that to innovate efficiently, we need to pay attention to the drivers behind innovation. His piece made me reflect on the importance of identifying if our innovation is customer-focused or disruption-driven, and how that can impact the success of what we are doing. These perspectives are especially crucial when discussing how to work with and implement AI 🤖. In the carousel below, you’ll find a summary of the two different approaches, along with a user case comparison inspired by the amazing work that the brilliant Anna Rivetti is doing with her team at Klarna, which I had the pleasure to hear about at Product Tank Stockholm.

🌐 #M2020 - Airlines Transforming into Retail Powerhouses 🌐 As Senior Product Manager for Paynovate I had the opportunity to meet a lot of great people at last week's Money20/20 Europe. Some of the key messages that stuck with me are the ones from the conference "Addressing Payment Headinds at 35.000 Feet" with Andy Davies from Endava, along with Mélisande Mual, carol glynn and Paul van Alfen. 🌟 Airlines are transforming into full-service retailers, bundling tickets with meals, accommodations, and more, mirroring the model of platforms like Booking.com. This transition demands efficient and secure B2B payment methods to manage complex supplier relationships and payments. 🚧 Building the necessary #infrastructure to support this new business model can take up to 15 years, involving intricate payment reconciliations with various stakeholders. Therefore, critical to this transformation is harmonizing backend operations, especially in handling financial #disputes and chargebacks efficiently. 🏆 Turkish Airlines independent fintech division manages internal and external financial transactions effectively, serving as a blueprint for others. - Similarly to what other players in the transportation business are doing, they want to successfully manages a complex ecosystem of financial transactions across their platform, offering a model for other airlines companies. 🔗 Three-Part Money Flow: Mastery over the collection, holding, and disbursing of funds is essential, especially when dealing with partners like hotels and car rentals. Finally. establishing a network of experienced B2B partners is crucial for developing comprehensive, end-to-end financial solutions. The journey for airlines to become global retail platforms involves significant investments in infrastructure, strategic partnerships, and sophisticated backend systems. Emulating successful entities and leveraging expert vendors are key steps in this intricate transformation. #AirlineIndustry #RetailTransformation #Fintech #Money2020Europe #B2BPayments #StrategicPartnerships
