About this listen

 This episode of TechXY Turbo explores how technology platforms are tackling one of higher education's most expensive challenges: student retention. David Gonzalez, Co-Founder and CEO of Arbol, brings a unique perspective from his background scaling fintech solutions at HSBC and M&T Bank to now building EdTech platforms that transform how colleges support students financially.

Arbol's mission is deceptively simple yet powerfully complex: turn fragmented student financial systems into unified, actionable experiences that prevent dropouts before they happen. David shares insights on why traditional financial literacy programs fall short, how AI and data integration create early warning systems for at-risk students, and what he learned from reducing HSBC's customer service costs.

Listeners will discover how the intersection of fintech innovation and higher education challenges is creating a new category of technology—one where the ROI isn't just measured in cost savings, but in lives changed and degrees completed.
