By allowing the right people to show their potential, a successful CEO is able to make correct and effective management decisions. Being able to make those correct decisions is one of the many things Rati Tchelidze describes as the recipe for a successful career in FinTech.
A Little Bit More than Innovation
Ratis companies not only innovate financial products and churn out great FinTech product ideas, but they also integrate with other companies who share the same goal and vision. They recently started a collaboration with StrategEast to improve FinTech in Eurasian countries and there are already a couple of innovations coming up from this collaboration. The pandemic has caused new challenges and new perspectives to appear for many companies within the FinTech industry forcing them to look at how to work better and for a relevant course.
For example, enhancing the quality of their online presence, accessibility, and digital security has been a high priority since the pandemic. According to Rati, the European FinTech industry share a common belief in the value of their employees and has worked hard to make sure jobs were kept and salary funds were protected during the pandemic and their professionals were engaged to help make the companies even more relevant amidst a pandemic.
The pandemic has definitely impacted how both private people and businesses manage their financial transactions and their relationship with traditional banks. Rati even talks about how the pandemic has created a “new era of personal finance” saying their goal is to make money available to those who need it, when they need it, without the hassle of a long queue at the bank and many inquires.
Rati explains that due to the strict parameters that banks hold, they might not be able to meet the quick needs of people. But, with modern Fintech innovations, traditional banking procedures become a lot easier while still being safe for users.
