David M. Brear is the Group CEO & Co-Founder of 11:FS. For our very first episode, he was generous enough to take some time out of his hectic schedule to speak with me about all things 11:FS for the Leaders & Founders community.
11:FS is a challenger consultancy that builds and launches next generation digital propositions for some of the biggest banks in the world. They are a team of FinTech experts on a mission to revolutionise the digital banking industry - and David and his team are doing an amazing job so far! There aren't many people who have not watched their journey with great interest in recent years, with their presence in both the UK and US growing every day, as well as globally with clients in over 30 different countries.
In this episode, we discuss the current climate and what David and his team are doing to maintain productivity and communication. We also look at what the FS and FinTech industry may look like post-COVID and also how 11:FS have achieved such great success so far.
David is seen as a visionary in the world of technology and challenger companies and is a true advocate for not doing things usually, as well as taking great inspiration from the world of sport.
He shares with us his great insight into the 11:FS culture, the passion they have for their work and why not being a d*ck is a great trait!
He also has some great advice for business leaders and those in leadership positions experiencing challenges at this time.
