The growth playbook behind Revolut's $100B+ growth engine - Antoine Le Nel [Revolut]

Today on BILLIONS, I'm sitting down with Antoine Le Nel the guy who spent 7 years scaling Candy Crush into one of the most addictive products ever created... then walked away to go kill traditional banking.

At King, he helped turn a mobile game into a machine that prints billions. When Activision bought them for $5.9 billion, he could've stayed forever.

Instead, he joined Revolut in 2021 — right as most fintech were collapsing. Three years later? $75 billion valuation. $4 billion in revenue. 65 million customers.

His secret? Ignoring everything Silicon Valley preaches about growth.

Antoine, thanks for being here!
