Lissele Pratt — Co-Founder
I’m a trusted advisor and problem-solver for HNWIs, funds, financial institutions, and companies navigating complex banking and payments challenges. With over 10+ years of experience in global finance, I help structure solutions where others can’t, leveraging a worldwide network of providers to deliver results in even the most complex industries. My journey started at 19 in the City of London, working at an FX brokerage. Those early years gave me a deep understanding of markets, cross border transactions, and the frustrations businesses face when financial access is blocked. In 2019, I co-founded Capitalixe to bridge that gap. Nearly seven years later, we’ve become a leading advisory, securing fintech, payments, and banking partnerships for clients across high-risk sectors, financial institutions, funds, and SPVs. Our mission is simple: to unlock opportunities where traditional providers say “no.”This work has led to recognition such as Forbes 30 Under 30 and features in top publications including Forbes, Entrepreneur, Yahoo Finance, Fintech Times, and Business Insider. I’ve also been honoured with industry accolades such as TechRound 29 Under 29, Women in Fintech Powerlist, Top 100 Women in Fintech, and the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, among others. Beyond fintech, I’m passionate about investing. With properties in Portugal and Thailand, I view real estate not just as an asset class but as a way to create inspiring communities. I’m always on the lookout for new opportunities, particularly in emerging markets, whether in property, finance, or other ventures where I can add value and drive growth. I’m equally committed to mentoring women in finance and entrepreneurship, breaking down barriers in male dominated industries, and shaping the future of global finance through speaking, writing, and thought leadership.Whether it’s payments, property, or people, I thrive on turning ideas into impact. 👩🏻💻 For Payments & Banking Solutions - https://meetings-eu1.hubspot.com/lissele/linkedin-featured 📩 For PR & Media Enquiries: admin@lisselepratt.com
