At ECOMMBX, our unwavering commitment to fostering innovation and empowering the leaders of tomorrow is reflected in every aspect of our work. This dedication was further showcased through our sponsorship of the inaugural CBN Young Dragon Awards.
As a company, we believe in creating opportunities and celebrating the immense potential of emerging talent. These values were echoed by our COO, Fotini Tsikkou who shared her insights on why supporting initiatives like these is integral to our mission:
Why did ECOMMBX decide to sponsor the inaugural CBN Young Dragon Awards and what does this initiative mean to your company?
FT: At ECOMMBX, we are dedicated to fostering innovation and empowering the leaders of tomorrow. Supporting the CBN Young Dragon Awards aligns seamlessly with our commitment to promoting talent and driving progress. This initiative reflects our own core values of recognising excellence, resilience and leadership while providing a platform to honour young professionals making a difference. For us, this sponsorship goes beyond financial support, it’s about creating opportunities and celebrating the potential of those shaping the future.
Was there a particular moment or story that especially resonated with you at the awards ceremony?
FT: The energy and enthusiasm on display at the event were genuinely uplifting. What resonated most were the recipients’ stories of determination and creativity. It was inspiring to hear how these young professionals are overcoming challenges and innovating within their fields. Their achievements highlight the value of recognising emerging talent and the importance of supporting their journey to success.
How important is it for your company to invest in the next generation of talent? How do you go about it?
FT: Supporting young talent is a priority for ECOMMBX, as it’s vital not only for our company but for the future of the industry. We actively invest in developing the next generation through initiatives like internships, leadership programmes and hands-on learning experiences. These efforts aim to provide young professionals with the resources, skills and opportunities they need to excel and to make meaningful contributions.
How do you see young professionals shaping the future of fintech?
Young professionals bring fresh ideas, boundless energy and a willingness to challenge norms. Their adaptability to new technologies and their innovative approach to problem-solving are driving forces for progress. In our industry, they are transforming traditional practices, advocating for sustainability and integrating advanced technologies to create impactful solutions and redefine standards.
What advice or lessons from your own journey can you share to help anyone wanting to improve their career growth?
Stay curious and open to learning, as adaptability is an invaluable asset. Seek mentorship and surround yourself with individuals who inspire and challenge you to think creatively. Embrace resilience and view challenges as opportunities to grow, since how you respond to setbacks can significantly influence your path. Push boundaries, think outside the box and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone – this is where true growth and innovation happen. Above all, stay true to your values while remaining open to evolving as both a professional and a leader.
As we look to the future, we are reminded of this simple truth: “The leaders of tomorrow are built on the opportunities we create today”
