Stacey Japhta, Head of Strategic FinTech Partnerships at Talent in the cloud, emerging markets FinTech executive search firm and host of Talking success podcast, talks to Buhle Goslar, Africa CEO at Jumo, a company providing financial services technologies to empower emerging market entrepreneurs, both based in South Africa.

  • Buhle learnt about being an entrepreneur at the age of 23 when she built the business division of a Travel Tech company in China from scratch. In this episode, Buhle touches on the steps to take to successfully build something from the ground up.

  • Her MBA paper dives into why we do not see the full benefits of financial inclusion in South Africa and how that ties into the emerging markets not creating innovative products. Buhle shares the reason for this and how we can solve the problem.

  • Then we chat about a controversial topic - focusing on gender diversity & pay equity. How do we move away from pay secrecy?
