On the final episode of series 1 Harry and Ben are joined by Amar Mistry, CEO of AVC Wise, a FinTech platform that focuses on providing financial education and services to the public sector.
The conversation delves into the differences between working in a corporate environment and a startup, highlighting the challenges and stereotypes associated with both. Amar emphasises the importance of finding one's unique approach to leadership. He talks about his journey from being perceived as just an accountant to influencing business strategies through a financial lens, without being confined to the traditional CFO role.
The discussion also touches on the perceptions of startups, such as the freedom to wear multiple hats, the lack of structure compared to corporates, and the misconceptions people have about startups being all fun and games. The conversation highlights the need for startups to invest in leadership development and the importance of fostering a positive company culture.
