Fintel Connect’s VP of Growth and Strategy Danielle Lauzon Shortlisted for 2026 Digiday Future Leader Awards

Recognition in the Rising Finance Leader category highlights emerging leadership in helping financial institutions build measurable, partnership-led acquisition strategies

VANCOUVER, BC, APRIL 30, 2026 — Fintel Connect, financial services’ only dedictated affiliate marketing platform, network, and agency, today announced that Danielle Lauzon, VP of Growth and Strategy, has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Rising Finance Leader category for the 2026 Digiday Future Leader Awards.

Presented by Digiday, Glossy and Modern Retail, the Future Leader Awards recognize the next generation of leaders making a significant impact in their industry with 10 years of experience or less. Lauzon was named among the finalists in the newly introduced Rising Finance Leader category, which recognizes emerging leaders helping shape the future of finance, marketing, media, and digital growth.

The recognition reflects Lauzon’s role in helping financial institutions modernize digital acquisition through performance-driven, partnership-led strategies. At Fintel Connect, Lauzon works across client strategy, growth, and program development, helping banks, credit unions, and fintechs build affiliate programs that connect with high-intent customers through trusted digital partners.

“I’m honored to be recognized by Digiday alongside leaders who are shaping the future of their industries,” said Danielle Lauzon, VP of Growth and Strategy at Fintel Connect. “For me, this work has always been about helping our partners find win-win solutions and grow in a measurable and meaningful way. Affiliate marketing has a much bigger role to play in financial services, and I’m excited to keep helping brands, partners, and our team build that future.”

The 2026 Future Leader Awards finalists will be featured through Digiday’s on-site announcements, daily newsletters and social media channels, reaching audiences across media, marketing and business leadership.

As financial institutions face growing pressure to scale efficiently while maintaining compliance, brand trust and measurable returns, affiliate marketing has become an increasingly important channel for teams seeking acquisition strategies beyond traditional paid media. Lauzon’s work sits at that intersection, helping financial brands translate partner relationships, publisher opportunities and performance data into structured growth programs built for regulated environments.

This recognition follows Fintel Connect’s continued work with banks, credit unions and fintechs across North America to support scalable growth through specialized affiliate marketing technology, publisher partnerships and strategic program management.
