Fintech roundtable: ‘Leadership - how to get it right and what to do when it goes wrong’

Fintech roundtable: ‘Leadership - how to get it right and what to do when it goes wrong’

When scaling Fintechs, managing senior hires and supporting founder/owners is critical. Yet growing firms often have fewer resources to assess, onboard and manage senior talent, when compared to larger, more established organisations. Whilst leadership appointments can help to accelerate growth, misalignment of roles or values can risk damaging the business and culture. Equally, firms may hire talent for specific purposes, but the nature of the role, or the shape of the business may change, requiring transition and remodelling.

This session will explore how Fintechs can:

  • Strengthen decision-making and messaging around leadership qualities and requirements in high-growth environments
  • Mitigate risk in senior hiring and onboarding
  • Address performance or cultural misalignment issues constructively
  • Manage founder/owner transitions
  • Build greater resilience into their leadership pipeline

Gain insight from industry experts including:

  • Marian Bloodworth and David Murphy, Employment partners, Fox Williams LLP
  • More speakers to follow.

Why attend?

• Peer learning: Share experiences and hear how others are managing senior leadership risk, opportunity and succession planning.

• Safe space: All discussions are held under Chatham House Rule, enabling open and honest conversation.

• Network: Connect with fellow fintech HR and people leaders in an informal breakfast setting.

We hope you can join us for what promises to be a candid and thought-provoking discussion.

Places are limited to ensure a conversational and interactive session.
