The twenty84 Talentsetter Podcast is here!

Check out our Talentsetter Podcast with Quentin, where he speaks to industry leaders from FinTech, Crypto and Financial Services about hiring, talent and careers - and everything inbetween!

For this series, we have some fantastic guests featuring on Talentsetter; these are thought-provoking conversations about the industry, career success and in particular, advice for Compliance and Financial Crime professionals.

Episode 1 - Ian Taylor, Executive Director, Crypto UK

Ian Taylor has had a long and successful career in Financial Services and is one of the UK's leading minds on Crypto, being an Executive Director at Crypto UK where he has worked to help educate and support policymakers and regulators about the crypto and digital asset industry. We were delighted that Ian was able to join us on the podcast at a crucial and exciting time in the Crypto space, and the knowledge and advice he shared with us during this conversation is well worth a listen! 

Episode 2 - Devina Paul, Chief Financial Officer - Zumo

Joining us on the TalentSetter podcast for our second episode is Devina Paul, co-founder of Galvanise, an angel investor syndicate making investments in disruptive early stage tech businesses. She is also currently CFO for Zumo, a Crypto smart wallet and payments platform founded in 2017. She has had a very successful and interesting career-to-date in Finance, and most recently her focus has been with start-ups in their earliest phases, helping them build sustainable growth. In particular we focussed on wellbeing at work and staying mentally well in our professional lives; Devina has a great amount of wisdom to impart on this topic and it is well worth listening to. We also had some interesting conversation about how to be successful, moving in to different industries and working in start-ups.

We were very lucky to be able to speak with Seth Phillips on the third episode of TalentSetter to speak about all things FX! Having worked with a range of FX specialists over the past few years, it is always interesting to learn about new products and fresh approaches; and Bound is a key example of an exciting, growing FX business with a fantastic team of people. We spoke to Seth in particular about what he's trying to do in FX, about his entrepreneurial spirit, and his fantastic approach to weaving Compliance in to his business from the outset.
