Hiroki Takeuchi knows a thing or two about the process of scaling up a business. When the CEO of GoCardless founded the company at age 23, he entered the fintech industry with little experience, relying on his fresh perspective and hunger to innovate to drive his ambitions forward. In the decade since, he has become an industry pioneer, scaling GoCardless internationally, which now serves more than 55,000 businesses around the world.
Hiroki’s entrepreneurial journey has been one of unforeseen challenges and constant change, something he considers a key factor in accelerating business growth. His ability to view set-backs as opportunities to redesign and re-energise the way a company works has been a pivotal part of his success.
