Founder and CEO of NQ International

“Quitting my banking job to start my own wealth management advisory services firm was a challenge. Though I was financially secure and had built my network as a senior banker—which meant I could easily return to banking if the business failed—it was still tough. I was stepping out of my comfort zone and didn’t have a big organisation to support me. I had to build everything from scratch myself. On hindsight, it’s still the best thing I have ever done.”
