How to Build an Entrepreneurial Company With Nik Storonsky of Revolut

With the rise of fintech apps, consumers find themselves with accounts scattered across institutions and brands. Nik Storonsky co-founded Revolut in 2015 to provide a one-stop financial solution for consumers, and has seen exponential growth since.
