In this episode of Made it in Thailand, I met with Bertrand Theaud, the founder of Statrys, to explore how he built a thriving fintech company from the ground up. Bertrand dives into the foundational decisions of setting strict work hours from 9 AM to 6 PM and creating a structured company culture aimed at preserving work-life balance. He also shares compelling anecdotes about his career switch from aviation to fintech, the importance of SEO in their marketing strategy, and why Bangkok proved to be the ideal hub for their operations. This episode is packed with valuable insights for entrepreneurs and business professionals alike.
