prove people wrong , which , for the most part , is proving the worth of our technology .
Internally at IDVerse , what motivates me is the ability I have to change people ’ s lives and be the custodian of this fantastic project . I love growing businesses and growing people . It ’ s people that drive businesses forward . For me , this is the most soul-nourishing experience anyone could have .
Q . WHAT CHALLENGES DOES YOUR ROLE THROW AT YOU DAY-TO-DAY ?
» Given that we ’ ve tripled in size in a very short amount of time , my biggest challenge now is making sure we keep cultural alignment , especially when we have teams growing at an equal pace across different regions across the globe . It definitely keeps things interesting . Offices in different time
zones mean I find myself in different time zones quite often !
So for me , keeping everyone aligned , spirited and driven in the same direction is probably the biggest challenge I have day-to-day .
Q . IS THERE ONE PIECE OF ADVICE THAT ’ S STUCK WITHOUT YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR CAREER ?
» I was told in my early career that I could be more than one thing , which has been sound advice as it ’ s helped me expand my role and the businesses I ’ m involved with . But the one thing that has really stuck with me is a phrase spray painted as graffiti in a tunnel near Sydney Harbour : “ action is eloquent ”. This really stuck with me . For me , it means just do what you say you ’ re going to do . Be pragmatic , and get whatever it is you need to do done . And I ’ ve carried that forward with me ever since .
