I wasn't meant to be an entrepreneur, but life put me on that track. Since I have made that decision I have never looked back despite the continuous uphill path one must endure and the associated sacrifices. I firmly believe that having the right set of values is key for both personal and economical success, that the "equation of value" should always be respected in any decision one's make and that short-termism is often what hinders long term value creation. My job at Checkout.com is to implement a long term strategy, centred around our people in order to build the first truly global acquiring network for global enterprises. Having always been super product focused the ambition is clearly to build the best products we can, which we can then leverage in the second part of the company's lifecycle to then build the future of banking. Important note we have no plans to be a deposit bank but we want to re-invent how businesses interact with financial services essentially. In parallel I aspire to be a good father to my kids as ultimately they will always remain my most important endeavour and to work towards making the world a better place because if people were less self centred the world would probably already in much better shape - can't help but to be an idealist! Aside of working 90h per week, I am keen runner, surfer, big mountain skier and tend to love a solid bbq with my friends/family on weekends. Are you a coward or a hero? This is the question that lead to be my life the way it is right now. I am coming from a very humble family, with a housewife mother and electrician father. I was raised to be a successful woman but not for a selfish cause. I always want to serve humanity and to help others who need help. Starting a business, giving opportunities to people who do not have enough chance in life is my main inspiration. In Insider, we are trying to change our teammates lives to give them lots of trainings and the opportunities that change their point of view about the world. I can serve these causes as long as I live.
