Having worked in countries like India and Pakistan, and larger markets like Hong Kong and Singapore, Africa was the natural choice for Veasey.
He'd like to see greater access to financial services and greater financial inclusion. "Not everyone has a smartphone. It's important to provide basic access, making it easy to adopt channels irrespective of platform.
"We're not short of payment solutions in the market, but helping customers understand how to navigate those platforms is a massive challenge." Veasey also believes payments should be ubiquitous, and free. "I think we'll reach a point where this will happen. It will facilitate ease of spending, and, ultimately, help to develop economies."
The biggest thing for him is watching people grow. "Working with our graduates, seeing their energy, helping them to become team leaders and project managers, and seeing them grow as the leaders of the future, that's good enough for me."
