ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
Tarik Chebib took Capital.com from startup to regional leader in the UAE, scaling to 70 people in six months while cracking organic social growth in a way that established competitors still can't replicate.
Rather than continuing to hire, Tarik paused to rebuild how the business operated. He's focused on creating processes that don't require constant human intervention – a mindset shift that's changing how he allocates resources.
In episode 3 of Open Equity, we’re diving into how he hires top talent in competitive markets, why he still jumps on sales calls with his team, and the cultural mistakes that kill most scaling efforts in the Middle East.
