What can an entrepreneurial mindset teach CEOs about continually reinventing a multibillion-dollar company? Bruce Lowthers, CEO of Paysafe, shares lessons from a career that began in accounting, included four startups, and later helped build FIS from a few billion dollars in revenue to approximately $15 billion. Today, he is leading the transformation of Paysafe, a $1.8 billion global payments company with 2,800 employees and operations in more than 100 countries, with a strategy built around continuous innovation—including a “vitality index” and a long-term goal for 30% of revenue to come from products introduced within the prior three years. Bruce explores the role of AI and the future of payments, including what he believes could become an “era of the consumer,” driven by personalization at scale, while explaining why leaders need to operate with the agility of a “billion-dollar startup,” stay adaptable and creative, and align great teams around ambitious goals.
