Tiffany Haynes is living proof that starting in a fintech call center at 19 and working nights while schlepping college credits can lead you to VP status 20 years later. After two decades at Jack Henry & Associatesāyes, the fintech firm named like a Walmart aisleāshe jumped to Fingercheck, a New York HR platform that trusted a Missouri mom of five and foster parent to seven with scaling their company towards a $150 million acquisition in October 2024. Meanwhile, her husband masterminded child wrangling in his unpaid superintendent role at the school they co-founded after the local church bailed on 100 needy kids. She travels to Brooklyn every other week, pours coffee with him before the kids wake, and somehow still warns her kids that YouTube millionaires aren't a career plan.
