Leader Weekends: How to be a CEO (Vishal Marria of Quantexa)

This is a bonus episode taken from our business show, How to be a CEO. Every start-up has an origin story. Vishal Marria’s is pretty dramatic. It began when he was just nine years old, and was attacked by four men who held a knife to his neck in a raid on his father’s cash and carry store. That traumatic moment sparked an interest in crime that took him into data analytics, and eventually the founding of Quantexa – a tech firm that’s been used by major banks and international police to “find the bad guys”, rooting out fraud, money laundering and more. He’s built a company recently valued at 1 point 8 billion dollars, in just seven years.To listen to the full interview click here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
