How do we attract and retain the best talent?

Airwallex’s co-founder and CEO identifies attracting and retaining top talent as a central challenge for the fast-growing fintech startup, arguing that its success, reputation, and US$5.5 billion valuation help make it competitive in a crowded hiring market. The company highlights its rapid valuation growth, investor support, and ambition to increase its value further, positioning employee equity through ESOPs and RSUs as a key way for staff to share in that growth. Airwallex says nearly 100 employees are paper millionaires and recently offered eligible employees an opportunity to exercise and sell part of their vested options, potentially helping them meet personal financial goals such as housing, education, debt repayment, or savings. While emphasizing the financial benefits of ownership, the CEO also stresses that culture, meaningful impact, sustainable compensation, benefits, and professional growth are essential to employee satisfaction and long-term retention.
