“We are honored to welcome Lamine into the community,” said Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, the collective that includes Forbes Finance Council. “Our mission with Forbes Councils is to bring together proven leaders from every industry, creating a curated, social capital-driven network that helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world.”

As an accepted member of the Council, Lamine has access to a variety of exclusive opportunities designed to help him reach peak professional influence. He will connect and collaborate with other respected local leaders in a private forum. Lamine will also be invited to work with a professional editorial team to share his expert insights in original business articles on Forbes.com, and to contribute to published Q&A panels alongside other experts.

Finally, Lamine will benefit from exclusive access to vetted business service partners, membership-branded marketing collateral, and the high-touch support of the Forbes Councils member concierge team.

"I'm so excited to be a part of the Forbes Finance Council to help address the unique financial pain points of freelancers and self-employed workers," said Lamine Zarrad co-founder and CEO of Joust. "These workers are massively overlooked despite being more than one-third of the U.S. workforce. With this number growing each day, I'm happy to provide my banking and financial expertise through such a prestigious platform."
