Patrick Gauthier, Group CEO, Director & Chair Convera USA, Director and Chair Convera Europe Financial S.A., spoke to Rudolf Falat, founder of the Voice of FinTech podcast, about helping SMEs manage cross-border payments and more.
Here is what they covered in more detail:
- Patrick, as a key figure in the payments sector, could you share your professional journey and how it led you to your current role at Convera?
- What problem are you solving at Convera, and why is it worth solving? Why are B2B payments special, and why they have been slower to innovate
- How do B2B cross-border payment needs for SMEs differ from individuals or large corporations? How can you help?
- Who are your key clients?
- Which supporting technologies do you see as most promising for the payments sector?
- What’s your technology angle, or do you have more brilliant engineers than other players?
- Do you see real-time payments on the rise in the coming years? How are they relevant for B2B transactions? Will there be no more trade credit?
- Looking ahead, what are the key milestones that Convera aims to achieve in the near future, and how do you plan to reach them?
