Show Notes

In this episode we chat to Alex Nicolaus, the people and culture leader at PaySend who has worked with both corporates and fast growing start-ups across different industries in Europe, China, and across Asia.

Paysend is a next-generation integrated global payment ecosystem, enabling consumers and businesses to pay and send money online anywhere, anyhow and in any currency. It is UK-based and has global reach having been created in April 2017 with the clear mission to change how money is moved around the world.

Alex has helped many businesses to attract, retain, and develop exceptional talent while creating unique workplace cultures by working closely with the CEO and executive leadership team across the full spectrum of people and culture. In this podcast, we look into what makes founders and entrepreneurs tick, learn how startups can build high performing people and culture teams from scratch, and also hear about some of the failures aspiring CEOs make along the way.
