Shelly Banjo



Shelly Banjo writes about the future of finance and is trying to figure out how technology, changes in consumer behavior, and regulation are fundamentally reshaping banking, payments, investing and currencies. (She also tracks the tensions between Silicon Valley tech honchos and Wall Street kingpins as this all develops.) Shelly worked at The Wall Street Journal for eight years, where she became obsessed with the retail sector and consumer behavior and wrote pieces on the end of impulse shopping, falling retail traffic and the global garment trade. Shelly has an MBA from NYU Stern with a focus on international economics and a degree in journalism and international studies from Northwestern University.
