Areas of Expertise

Payments

 

The world of payments is transforming at an increasingly rapid rate. The causes are multiple and additive: new regulation such as PSD2 and Open Banking have enabled new services from new providers, a new way of living and working has caused consumers to shop and pay in increasingly digital and contactless ways - enabled by new technologies such as QR codes. The pace of change will continue to increase - will you lead it, keep up or be left behind.

International Expansion

 

International expansion is often on the agenda in executive teams and Boardrooms. It’s a high stakes game - done well, it can enable significant top and bottom-line growth while contributing even more to your company valuation. Done badly it can cause chaos in your leadership team and cause a significant drain on resources. You need the right capabilities and experience to set the right expansion priorities to deliver growth not chaos.

Stakeholder Influence

 

Influence is essential. Whether your success lies in influencing foreign government and agencies, engaging with national regulators or x, how you prepare, approach each party and tell your story will determine your success. Careful consideration of the other party’s perspective - including their priorities, challenges as well as the cultural differences will be essential. While quick results are often rewarded, when it comes to external stakeholders, it’s essential to play the long game.

Innovation

 

Talent, culture and org structure and processes all play a role in a business’ ability to innovate, transform itself and the sector and delight customers. Leaders spend a lot of time thinking about the type of people that can help their business innovate but tend to spend less time thinking about the structural barriers within their business that stifle the very talent they worked so hard to hire. Is it time for a rethink?

FX

 

Foreign exchange (FX) and FX risk management is often viewed as complex and opaque. Businesses sometimes feel the industry is full of jargon. It has been. But, it’s changing. Both Bank and non-bank FX providers are changing their approach, building and buying new technology and changing their style - all to provide businesses with greater transparency and convenience… and better pricing. Change is evident - don’t let it pass you by.
