Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Leaders in Finance. Deze week is te gast George Pedra, de CEO en co-founder van Finos.
Alhoewel Finos kantoor houdt in Amsterdam, spreekt George geen vloeiend Nederlands en daarom zal dit gesprek in het Engels worden gevoerd. So therefore this conversation will be in English. Welcome George on the show!
And as always in my shows, thanks for having me in your offices, here in Amsterdam.
