Registration: https://www.fintechabudhabi.com/your-fintech100-forum-invitation

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).

Register here and read all about the Festival here.

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?
