About the Show
Bridging the gap is an all-new podcast hosted by CEO Matt Reiner focused on bringing together leaders from the finance and the technology industries to focus on innovating the financial services industry.

About the guest
Data geek, mathematical wiz, the guy who skates to where the puck is going and unique. This is Michael Magnan in a nutshell. Michael is a forward thinker that is a leader in a space that is in high demand but has very little people smart enough to tackle.

Data is king, but being able to create actionable insights on the data is what makes data powerful. Michael has that special power of taking data and creating predictive analytics out of it, which powers decisions and creates more personable experiences. He’s been with the big guys, taking his powers to eVestment, which was recently acquired by Nasdaq. Afterward, he left to start his own company, PlanPro, to disrupt the 401k advisor space. Our future decisions will be powered by algorithms created by people like Michael and we are lucky enough to explore the future with one of the brightest minds that will drive where we go with the abundant data we have​.
