The journey from start-up to global player, mobile payment – and more

How did  Wirecard AG go from being a start-up to one of the leading international providers of electronic payments solutions? What will be Wirecard´s strategic course in the upcoming years? What value does the so-called “mobile payment” have in this connection? Why does mobile payment not have the same success in Germany as in other European countries? And what does it take to establish mobile payment on the German market?

I talked about this and other questions in today´s episode with the General Counsel of Wirecard AG, Andrea Görres. Andrea is head of Wirecard’s Legal Department as well as Corporate Compliance and has accompanied Wirecard from its first steps as a start-up 17 years ago to the international company we see today.
