Advisory Leadership Update

Bliink AI Payments is proud to announce that Stuart Rubinstein, former Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of Akoya, LLC, has joined its advisory board.

Mr. Rubinstein brings deep leadership experience across digital financial services, secure consumer-permissioned data access, and growth strategy. He conceived and launched Akoya after it was spun out of Fidelity Investments in 2020, building the organization around helping financial institutions enable consumers to securely permission third parties to access account data and documents.

Prior to Akoya, Mr. Rubinstein served as senior vice president of Digital Solutions for Fidelity Investments’ Personal Investing division, where he oversaw the online client experience for Fidelity’s flagship retail website and mobile applications. During his tenure, Fidelity was recognized as the No. 1 online broker by Barron’s, Investor’s Business Daily, and Kiplinger’s.

Before joining Fidelity, Mr. Rubinstein was managing director of Marketing and eCommerce at TD Ameritrade, where he led marketing, digital experience, and asset growth initiatives across retail investor and financial advisor segments. He has also led eCommerce initiatives for Goldman Sachs and the Dreyfus Corporation.

“Stuart’s experience building trusted digital financial platforms and navigating the evolving data-access landscape is directly relevant to where the market is headed,” said Amit Gupta, CEO of Bliink AI Payments. “His perspective will help us strengthen how we deliver secure, intelligent financial crime prevention for institutions operating at scale.”

“We are excited to welcome Stuart to our advisory board,” added Alak Das, CTO of Bliink AI Payments. “His background across product, digital transformation, and governance will be valuable as we continue advancing our platform and expanding our market reach.”

Industry Perspective and Governance Experience

Mr. Rubinstein has testified on data privacy issues before the United States Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee’s Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit. He has also served as a member of Fidelity’s Technology Audit Advisory Committee and its Customer Protection Steering Committee.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in management information systems from the State University of New York at Albany and an MBA in marketing from New York University’s Stern School of Business.
