Happy New Year! With the first episode of 2023, we welcome Michael Sindicich, EVP of TripActions Liquid to discuss how the organization has grown from a start up to a major incumbent in our budding universe of Fintech. We cover the nitty gritty of how the product was developed, and how the org was able to maintain it’s startup-like culture despite being over 3,000 team members. We dive into the story of TripActions incorporating Liquid into their product, and then wrap up with the fun stuff like Michael’s story of learning to fly planes during the pandemic.
