Description: Roundtable: 'Scaling a FinTech: When and How Should Entrepreneurs Transition from Founder to CEO Mindset?' at #FintechAbuDhabi
In a few days the Festival will commence. This is a brilliant opportunity for #Fintech in Ireland & the UK to learn from, & network with Fintechs from all over the globe. FinTech Abu Dhabi is hosted by Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) & the Central Bank of The UAE. We & numerous Irish & UK #fintech companies had a great time attending in person last year. Due to Covid-19, we'll be joining the Festival virtually. We pitched the Roundtable topic to Unbound - powering MENA's Leading Fintech Festival. Delighted that they agreed the topic be slated for 24 November at 1pm (UAE time) / 9am (Irish/UK time).

About: The role of a CEO is challenging at the best of times, but for FinTech start-ups the biggest challenge is often the transition from start-up Founder to start-up CEO, to scaling & then to the investable CEO. We'll discuss how the Founder needs to be capable of moving from visionary Founder to becoming a strategic leader & delegator while not losing sight of the company’s purpose.
Discussion points:
- Keeping a good grasp of the business.
- Maintaining a fundamental understanding of the FinTech’s technology capabilities
- Managing evolving and emerging stakeholders needs and demands
- Empowering the team to do their jobs so that the CEO can do her/his job
- How should a CEO decouple from the emotional attachment idea she/he founded?
