"My role is to show people different perspectives." – Reko Rennie That belief is at the heart of our #ShiftedPerspectives campaign – and of our partnership with McLaren Racing. From cross-border payments that move as fast as the sport itself, to reimagining what a supercar can represent, we’re proud to support McLaren as they push boundaries on and off the track. 🏎️ Our latest collaboration brings this to life through a special edition McLaren Artura – wrapped in a striking design by contemporary Kamilaroi artist Reko Rennie!

🤝 Our partnership with McLaren Racing is built on a shared commitment to speed, precision, and pushing boundaries. Since joining forces in 2024, we’ve partnered with McLaren Racing in streamlining their global financial operations – showing how the right financial infrastructure can unlock performance at scale. Our #ShiftedPerspectives campaign celebrates this vision. As Hong Kong came alive with creativity during Art Basel, we unveiled the Reko Rennie-designed McLaren Artura – bringing together art, technology, and ambition for an unforgettable evening with our customers and partners. While McLaren drives innovation on the track, Airwallex powers 150,000+ businesses off it – helping them move faster, think bigger, and scale globally with confidence. 🏁 And of course, a huge congrats to the McLaren Racing team for their double podium finish at the #BahrainGP yesterday! #AirwallexHK #GlobalFinance

From founding a coffee start up to growing a global financial company to +$5bn 🤩 Airwallex founder Jack Zhang has had an incredible journey. Founded in 2015, Airwallex provides businesses with the economic infrastructure that empowers them to grow beyond borders by making it faster and cheaper to move money internationally. More than just another financial service provider, this was a business born to solve a problem. Because before Airwallex, Zhang was running a coffee start-up that sourced beans and other materials from across the globe. But he found that when paying vendors using traditional banks, it was a clunky and inefficient experience. And so, Airwallex was born. Since then, Airwallex has grown into a huge business with +1700 employees in 37 offices across the world, that supports +100,000 businesses globally and has a current valuation of $5.6 billion 📈 But reaching this level of success hasn’t always been straightforward. From operating in multiple time zones to prioritising his personal wellbeing, Zhang has learnt many lessons about scaling fast. But the secret that’s been most instrumental to the company’s success is about hiring. His advice? Personality trumps experience. Because while start-up founders tend to hire based on previous experience, there are a range of other skills that Zhang has found to be more important. Curiosity. Grit. Hustle. These are some of the traits that set great employees apart from the rest. So, if you hire with these in mind, you’re more likely to scale efficiently rather than relying on someones previous experience to get the job done. Thank you for sharing your Business Leader Secret with us, Jack! 📹 Dougal Shaw
