Om episode
To commemorate this year’s World Cancer Day, we’re looking back on one of our all-time favourite episodes, featuring the late Catherine Wines. Catherine was the Co-Founder of WorldRemit, one of the fastest growing FinTechs in the UK, allowing people to send money to friends and family living abroad. Catherine was one of the most high-profile female leaders in FinTech and it came as a real shock to the industry when she lost her battle to stage 3 pancreatic cancer in 2020. We have benefited first-hand from Catherine’s ongoing mentorship and support, and couldn’t think of a better way to raise awareness of and commemorate World Cancer Day, by re-sharing some of our favourite moments from our conversation with her. In today’s episode, you’ll hear: ➡️ How WorldRemit was born [01:44] ➡️ Her advice for anyone wanting to break into the industry [04:25] ➡️ How she dealt with her cancer diagnosis and how employers can support [06:08] ⛳ Helpful links: ➡️ Catherine’s full-length 40 Minute Mentor episode: https://jbmc.co.uk/insights/40-minute-mentor/living-life-to-the-fullest-without-regret-with-catherine-wines/ ➡️ More about WorldRemit: https://www.worldremit.com/ ➡️ More about World Cancer Day and how you can get involved: https://www.worldcancerday.org/ 🏆 Want to partner with us?
