PayTech Women Vancouver Chapter Launch — The Career Curve

On October 8, 2026, PayTech Women launched its Vancouver chapter with “The Career Curve” — an evening of panel discussion and networking on the TELUS Garden Rooftop in downtown Vancouver.

Three leaders from the payments and fintech industry shared how careers in paytech really grow — the turns, climbs and pivots along the way:

Sandra Horvath — Commercial Banking Strategist, FIS
Sim Dhanju — Executive Director, JPMorganChase
Stephanie Villard — Associate Vice President, Client Success, Peoples Group

After the panel, the rooftop turned into a warm, open room for Vancouver’s fintech community, with the city at sunset all around.

Thank you to PayTech Women for having me, and to the sponsors JPMorganChase, Peoples Group, TELUS and Everything Wine.
