NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Vero Technologies, a leading provider of modular lending technology solutions, and Accend, an AI-powered credit and underwriting platform, today announced the launch of their NextGen Leaders Dinner Series, an exclusive forum designed to connect and empower the next generation of decision-makers in wholesale and asset finance.

The inaugural dinner, scheduled for September 17, 2025 in Atlanta, will bring together carefully selected rising executives from leading financial institutions including Stellantis Financial Services, GM Financial, Ally, Yamaha Motor Finance, and Northpoint Commercial Finance. The evening will feature an intimate roundtable discussion facilitated by Marguerite Watanabe, Principal of Connections Insights Consulting and a recognized industry thought leader.

"The asset finance industry is at an inflection point, and the leaders who will drive the next wave of innovation are already in our organizations today," said John Mizzi, CEO and Co-founder of Vero Technologies. "This dinner series creates a unique space for these emerging leaders to connect, share perspectives, and shape the future of our industry together. We're not just hosting a dinner - we're building a community of changemakers."

The NextGen Leaders Dinner Series focuses on professionals who are poised to become tomorrow's decision-makers. The Atlanta event marks the first in a series of exclusive gatherings planned across major financial hubs throughout 2025 and 2026.

"Traditional industry events often miss the voices that will define our future," said Pranjal Daga, CEO and Co-founder of Accend. "By bringing together these rising stars in an intimate setting, we're facilitating the conversations and connections that will drive real transformation in how financial institutions approach credit, risk, and AI adoption."

The invitation-only event reflects a growing recognition that the next generation of asset finance leaders needs forums designed specifically for their unique perspectives and challenges, separate from traditional industry conferences dominated by current C-suite executives.
