Miguel Armaza sits down with Prajit Nanu, CEO & Co-Founder of Nium, a billion-dollar fintech building global payments infrastructure supporting 100 currencies across 190+ countries.

Founded almost seven years ago in Singapore, Nium has raised ~$300 million from top fintech investors including Riverwood, GFC, Temasek, and Visa amongst others.

We discuss:

Advantages of outsiders. Prior to Nium, Prajit was not a payments guy, so how did his non-payments background actually become a source of strength?
Lessons from hiring 100s of people. What have they learned about startup recruiting over the last several years?
Why it’s crucial to narrow your focus and double down on your strengths as a company.
Building and scaling a B2B Sales organization, board management lessons… and a lot more!
