At PayU, we are on the lookout for partners to help us shape the future of fintech. Our eyes are always open for new technologies and inspiring leaders to help us create a world without financial borders where everyone can prosper.

 

When scouting new potential investments, the leadership team of a company matters to us as much as its business successes.

 

In this fourth episode of our Fintech Alphabet series, PayU CEO Laurent Le Moal reflects on the journeys of the inspiring leaders that have joined the PayU family in recent years.
