We’ll be discussing his own journey (which is an inspirational one) as well as learning more about how TymeBank has seen such massive success and where it’s headed under his leadership.To give you some context about TymeBank's success - TymeBank has acquired nearly 3 million customers in just over 2 years, and is adding between 3000 and 5000 customers every day. Tauriq Keraan (TK) is a very impressive human. After completing school TK went on to complete a BSC in Chemistry and an MSC in Materials Engineering.He worked as the Technology Transfer Manager at the Tshwane University of Technology in the early days of his career. He then went on to hold various roles across various industries including a role as the Executive Lead of Strategy & Innovation at Deloitte.In 2013 TK joined TymeBank and has held a range of leadership roles. In 2019 he was appointed as the CEO and that remains his focus today.Tauriq is a rare leader and someone that I find deeply inspirational and humble. I actually met Tauriq through him reaching out to me on LinkedIn off the back of a post that I shared. We got on a call and I was blown away by his humility, openness to learning from anyone and general approach to life and business.__________________________________Today’s episode is sponsored by Nona Digital.Working with us to accelerate your FinTech or Blockchain product you get access to deeply skilled and experienced designers and developers that have been building products for a very long time.You get the benefit of a studio that is big enough for no key person dependencies to exist but small enough so that you are always close to the principals.
