Ep. 41 Breaking Ground: turning complex ...

Revolut
About this episode

As a Business Development Manager, Patricia knows what it takes to apply a never-settle mindset and turn complex challenges into results.
From BLIK in Poland to Multibanco in Portugal, she's been an advocate for customers by negotiating with partners and pushing for features that make a difference in local markets.

Hear how she moves past a “no” in high-stakes deals and why Multibanco is such a personal milestone for her.

In this season 3 premiere, host Alex Carril and Patricia discuss:

  • What it means to be on the Alternative Payment Methods team, why it matters for customers, and the team’s mission of finding new ways to use Revolut
  • How Patricia’s consulting background laid the foundation for success in fintech
  • What it's like to face complex problems new to Revolut and the industry, and still deliver results
  • Breaking down BLIK and what it took to bring the feature to customers in Poland
  • Why partner institutions are willing to challenge the status quo and collaborate with Revolut
  • The case for local payment methods, like BLIK and Multibanco, even when Revolut already offers person-to-person transfers
  • How Patricia gave customers in Poland easier access to public transport by enabling in-app ticket purchases
  • The personal motivation behind bringing Multibanco to customers in Portugal
  • Creating high-stakes partnerships, getting past a “no,” and applying those lessons outside of work
  • Avoiding burnout without losing the drive that comes with a never-settle mindset
