The Stevens Center for Innovation in Finance is thrilled to welcome Dr. Heath P. Tarbert, Chief Legal Officer and Head of Corporate Affairs at Circle, to Wharton as part of our FinTech Lecture Series!
Circle is a global financial technology firm that enables businesses of all sizes to harness the power of stablecoins and public blockchains for payments and commerce. Prior to joining Circle, Dr. Tarbert was Chief Legal Officer of Citadel Securities, served as the 14th Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for International Markets and Development. He is also a graduate of Penn Law (JD '01, SJD '02) where he took courses in the Wharton MBA program during his time here.
Dr. Tarbert will deliver a short presentation entitled “The Dollar’s Digital Future (and Why It Matters).” In the course of 20 minutes, you will learn about stablecoins, the ongoing digitization of the dollar, and the impact that these technological advances will have on the economy and potentially on your careers.
Food will be provided to all guests! Registration is required, so make sure to RSVP for this FinTech Lecture with Heath Tarbert.
Please note: this event will now take place in SHDH 109. Join us for a reception in Joe's Café after the lecture.
