Bringing together Mack Rutherford – the youngest person at age 17 to fly around the world solo; and aviation tycoon, Tony Fernandes resulted in a most heartwarming and interesting fireside chat at the Singapore FinTech Festivalglobal fintech awards’22.
Mack told us about the unusual challenges he faced on his 142 day journey – encountering sandstorms, braving emergency landings, and at times, having to choose a more difficult route to get to the next destination. #thinkoutsidethebox
In reflection, I had Tony weigh in on his “dare to dream” mantra and how he overcame personal challenges in his 20 year aviation career, pivoting in the face of adversity; reminding the audience that an entrepreneur can only succeed with a #team.
Loved the chemistry on stage and the candid anecdotes that tie back to the SFF themes of #passion and #resilience! Great to be back for another SFF edition to celebrate our #Fintech#innovators and #gamechangers.
