  • Where would you like to visit virtually? Anywhere! I believe that each country brings about its own challenges in operating a business and it will be wonderful to pick up the nuances of any country.

Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you? Fintech. Technology-based business that will disrupt the traditional financial services sector. Startups that I follow closely include TransferWise, Rapyd & Afterpay. Closer to home, I keep a close eye on CardUp & InstaReM
  • What plan do you have in starting a business? I have great interest in starting my own startup in the Payments/Fintech space. There are many gaps within the current systems, which allows for great opportunities to operate a business in this field to disrupt the industry.
