On this episode of RISE Offstage I welcome co-founder and president of AirWallex Lucy Liu to the podcast - Airwallex is one of the fastest growing fintech startups in Asia having raised a new $160mm Series D round in April with investors like Tencent, Sequoia China and Horizon Ventures.
On this episode (which was shot in person back in January 2020 as a pilot to a video version of this podcast) Lucy and I start at Airwallex’s super cool offices in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong….and then we walk over to one of Lucy’s favorite coffee shops nearby and I get a chance to learn more about her startup journey as a female founder in fintech, being a young mother managing a unicorn-level startup and starting a new tech company in Australia and then growing internationally from their Hong Kong headquarters.
Please welcome co-founder and CEO of Airwallex Lucy Liu to RISE Offstage.
