KPMG Room

Fraud Never Sleeps: Building Risk Teams for Rocketship Growth

17 de set. de 2025

From:

3:55 PM

To:

4:25 PM

- Shilpak Mahadkar, VP, Business Development and Partnerships, Remitly
- Ashwin Raj, CEO, LeafLink
- Rex Robinson, Director of Product Marketing, Microblink
- Hartley Thompson, President & COO, Microblink

Fraud does not wait for your organization to catch up or for your tech stack to modernize. In high-growth payments, ecommerce, and marketplace environments, fraud moves faster than traditional defenses can react. This session brings together leaders who have built and scaled teams at fintechs, banks, and global platforms. We will examine what it takes to design teams that can keep pace with growth: hiring for the skills that matter, creating processes that can withstand scale, and deciding when to replace legacy systems versus starting with an ML-native culture. Expect a candid look at the trade-offs between speed and safety, efficiency and resilience, and why yesterday’s playbook will not protect tomorrow’s business.

Incognia Room

Scaling Smarter: Strategic Partnerships for Marketplace Growth & Chargeback Mitigation

17 de set. de 2025

From:

4:40 PM

To:

5:10 PM

- Han Jiang, Senior Applied Scientist of Trust and Safety, Etsy
- Lesley Li, Head of Partnerships, Chargeblast

Growth-stage marketplaces often prioritize speed — but true scale depends on resilient, strategic partnerships. This session will focus on how targeted integrations with payment and compliance partners can drive growth while actively mitigating chargebacks. Through real-world marketplace examples, we’ll discuss how to align incentives, reduce operational friction, and turn vendors into long-term allies. Attendees will leave with a practical playbook for evaluating partners, setting success metrics, and building shared accountability — all while boosting revenue and minimizing dispute risk.

Persona Room

Inside DoorDash: Real-Time Risk Without Breaking Trust

17 de set. de 2025

From:

4:40 PM

To:

5:10 PM

- Travis Stine, Engineering Leader, DoorDash
- Julia Zheng, CEO, Dyneti

As fraud tactics evolve, marketplaces are increasingly turning to step-up challenges to strike a balance between conversion and risk. In this fireside chat, Dyneti’s CEO and a DoorDash engineering leader on the risk team will walk through step-up challenge usage at DoorDash. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for evaluating step-ups in their own flows, and insight into how high-scale platforms orchestrate real-time risk decisions without breaking user trust.

KPMG Room

Zero-Day Agents: When AI Operates with Full Likeness of You

17 de set. de 2025

From:

4:40 PM

To:

5:10 PM

- Glenn Borsky, Director IPA NYC Chapter, Information Professional Association
- Leah Ferentinos, Product Policy Manager, Credo AI
- Hallie Stern, Founder, Optica Labs

What happens when autonomous AI agents not only act for you, but as you? This session examines the systemic risks introduced when AI models, trained on user data and behavioral signals, achieve near-perfect mimicry and execute transactions, communications, and decisions without explicit consent. We’ll explore a future where synthetic identities blur with real users, enabling sophisticated fraud, regulatory blind spots, and legal ambiguity in marketplaces. Experts will dissect the implications for trust and safety, identity governance, and liability frameworks, and propose actionable strategies for platforms to detect, govern, and mitigate these zero-day threats before they redefine the marketplace risk landscape.
