Tell us why your company is a game changer for our industry?
We deliver complex solutions on time, no matter the challenge. Timing and regulatory readiness play a crucial role in the success of a product launch in the fintech industry. We’ve earned our reputation by turning tough problems into real products within strict deadlines—whether that means accelerating a licensing-ready MVP or scaling a digital bank. But here’s the thing—we don’t just focus on speed. We do it with business impact in mind.
Our builds are quality-first, budget-conscious, and grounded in real fintech expertise. Plenty of companies can move quickly, but we deliver outcomes—helping clients launch, grow, and evolve with confidence in a market that never slows down.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT TO DATE?
Our clients’ success is our success. Chip, one of the fast-growing fintechs we supported, raised £45M in funding and scaled to over 500K users. Another UK-based digital bank partnered with us to go from concept to launch in just 9 months—a rare speed in such a regulated space.
These experiences led us to develop Fintech Core, a modular platform designed to further reduce time-to-market and development costs. With it, our clients can now launch digital banking and payment products up to 40% faster, gaining a vital edge in the ever-evolving fintech landscape.
What is your typical day like?
Every day is a bit different, but I try to balance strategy with execution. I begin the day by reviewing client projects and convening with our leadership team to ensure alignment. I also spend a lot of time with clients, especially when they’re facing complex scaling challenges or expanding into new markets.
Over time, I’ve built a structure around managing these moving pieces—using frameworks like Getting Things Done—which helps me stay organized and efficient. One of the most important things I’ve learned is that work-life balance doesn’t really exist when you’re managing a growing company. But when you’re passionate about what you do, it doesn’t feel like work.
I’ve been managing people since 2014, and it took me a while to fully transition from being an engineer to understanding the nuances of leadership. But now, it’s about ensuring the team is set up for success and executing on that vision.
What has been the greatest challenge leading the company so far?
The biggest challenge is building and retaining a strong team. As the company grows, so does the complexity of managing a diverse and skilled team. It’s not just about hiring talent but about ensuring that everyone aligns with our values and vision.
We have gained valuable experience in onboarding and retaining professionals who are driven and passionate about our work. It’s an ongoing process to ensure we’re all working toward the same goal.
On a broader scale, navigating rapid growth in a highly competitive market has been another challenge. It’s essential to stay agile and adapt as the industry changes.
WHAT is the biggest lesson you’ve learnt from your Entrepreneurial journey?
The biggest lesson is understanding that the best reality mapping model wins. As an entrepreneur, you need to understand reality deeply—the way systems, people, and cultures work—so that you can build solutions that truly solve problems.
I see many entrepreneurs fail because they don’t test their assumptions against the reality of the market. It’s crucial to be in tune with your environment and adapt based on what’s actually happening, not just what you hope will happen.
Your advice to anyone leading an established company?
Stay adaptable and embrace change. Leading a company through growth is about understanding that everything is in flux. There’s no such thing as a “stable” environment, and you must be ready to adjust and pivot as needed. We’ve learned to embrace crises as opportunities to adapt, whether it’s economic downturns or global events like the war in Ukraine. Having the right mindset and the right team is key to navigating these challenges successfully.
