    Andrew Walsh's Rise from Tech Start-up to Global CEO (Fuelled by Meat Pies)

    Andrew Walsh's journey from actuary to tech leader is quite the story. He co-founded a software company in a garage, fuelled by meat pies and a vision for web-based software when most of us were still using dial-up. Here's what we can learn from Andrew's experience: - Adaptability is key: He shifted from developer to CEO, adjusting his leadership approach as the company expanded. - Think big: Starting in Australia, he set his sights on the UK and beyond, targeting markets with strong savings cultures and regulatory frameworks. - Stay nimble: As the company grew, Andrew fought against becoming too rigid, aiming to keep the organisation flexible. - Trust your instincts: Being overly cautious sometimes held them back from grabbing opportunities. - People matter: He understood the importance of having the right team for each growth stage. What's next for Andrew? He's looking forward to family time, charity work, and possibly another business venture. It just goes to show that in the tech world, there's always a new challenge around the corner. So, how do you reckon companies can balance growth while keeping that innovative spark alive?
