Key takeaways:

• Stephen believes that creating success for others, will eventually create success for himself. This customer centric and strong team ethic has worked well for him over the longevity of his career.

• Conducting international business is a skill set in its own right and it's not one you can learn from a book. It's learning by doing, reflecting, and refining.

• Money2020 is about customers first, what are their needs, those needs might be varied across the globe.

• He spoke about the value of having multiple gears when you are leading so you can adapt and improve your impact across multiple customer and employee needs.

• A collaborative approach is vital for success within the Payments eco-system and for being a leader in 2023.

• Stephen is constant learner, his leadership and approach to customer is a learned skill set and it's an ongoing process for him.

• He had an insightful reflection on the industry - previously FINTECHS and banks were going head-to-head against each other, now there is more of a dance together. As they realise need each other, shoulder to shoulder is a better description of how they now operate.

• Stephen is very proud to be part of an organisation actually acts and gets results when it comes to closing the gender opportunity and pay gap. The Money2020 ‘Rise Up’ program lead to more women gaining promotion. They had the right sponsorship, access to those who believed in them and a proven methodology to follow.

• Stephen's advice to his younger self – it will work out well, so trust yourself. Speak up when you have the opportunity and don’t rely on others to spot the same blind spots you do.
