As a Mentor for Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Centre, I have the privilege of mentoring founders across the globe. Last Thursday was a whirlwind of global mentoring sessions with founders from South Africa, Mexico, and the USA. The key takeaway from these sessions was the importance of taking a step back from daily operations to dedicate time for #strategicthinking. Founders recognised this crucial skill and invested time to discuss their specific challenges in scaling their businesses.
Additionally, #operationalefficiency is key to scaling successfully. By integrating systems to achieve greater productivity, founders can focus on what's important.
Lastly, establishing #onboardingprocesses for new staff and setting them up for success is a crucial aspect of scaling a business. It was especially inspiring to hear of the impressive growth and future goals of a South African founder I mentored two years ago.

Hi Fintech Connectors!
Happy 2024!
Some of you may have seen my post in 2023 calling for Non-Executive / Company Directors to participate in a program I was developing.
Since then, the program, in partnership with Mastercard, titled "Fintech Pathway to Effective Governance", has finished, and nine fintechs participated in the program.
Here is the press release we issued in November.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, especially if you are a fintech scaling globally.
