Fintech might be a talking point in the Garden State innovation landscape today, but longtime finance professor George Calhoun can remember when the finance industry not only didn’t discuss a tech pairing — it was proud to avoid any conversation involving it. “About 20 years ago, they were a technology laggard in terms of other sectors of the economy, such as healthcare, which had long since gone full-bore into automation,” he said.
