Tom Blomfield is the CEO and co-founder of Monzo, the digital banking challenger bank that’s gripped the UK by storm. He started Monzo in 2015, and was previously at Grouper and GoCardless as co-founder.

In this video, Blomfield shares the challenges and lessons he’s garnered from creating and developing a startup which was one of the first to disrupt the world of finance. He shares how he’s had to ensure that Monzo is transparent and honest – both with its employees and users – as well as how to make sure that empathy remains at the core of every business.
