FinTech Academy: CEO Roundtable

CEO Roundtable on Leadership and Communications

The expectations of FinTech Founders and CEOs are extraordinarily high. They need to be strategic thinkers and fast movers, team builders and risk takers. They must have tremendous stamina and huge passion for their business.  

Above all, CEOs need to be first-class communicators. Persuasively articulating their startup’s mission is crucial to attract investors and customers, build a uniting culture and focus the team on purpose, vision and values.

A startup’s reputation is closely tied to that of its leadership. Crafting a positive reputation early on their scaling journey is imperative to build resilience.

How should CEOs think about communications? What principles should they adopt? How can they inspire their team and external stakeholders? How do they scale up and preserve the most important aspects of their culture?

Join our CEO Roundtable, hosted by strategic advisory firm Audley, to discuss these questions and more.
