Carl is an inspirational leader that is currently guiding the incredible team at Super Payments as CTO. With a rich history of building and leading high-performing teams at businesses such as Beauty Pie, Funding Circle, GfK and a global credit business, it's safe to say that Carl gets leadership and how to build highly efficient teams.

In this episode, we dive deep into what has led Carl to where he is today, as well as the amazing story of Super Payments.

In 2022, Super closed one of Europe's largest ever funding rounds of £22.5M to supercharge their effort to take the payments industry head on. Founded by former Funding Circle Co-Founder Samir Desai, they are backed by leading Investors including Accel Partners, Union Square Ventures and LocalGlobe.

They aim to save merchants and customers Billions of £'s in fees with their simple and easy to use platform, with their universal customer loyalty app opening the door to huge savings for customers, and increased sales for merchants and retailers.

We also discuss how to build high-performing teams, what being a leader genuinely means and of course, anti-patterns and why they should be considered when building engineering squads and technology organisations.

We loved this episode and truly hope you do too!

We can't wait to see what Carl, his awesome team and Super go on to accomplish next!
