Welcome to AFR Interviews, a video and audio series of in-depth conversations with leaders across business, finance and politics.

Our guest is Jack Zhang, the founder and chief executive of Airwallex. Zhang has built Airwallex into a global payments giant, which has just been valued at $US11 billion. In this interview, the CEO reflects on mistakes he made in the early days of his company and the reason he turned down a $1.2 billion offer for Airwallex in 2018. He also explains how being an ‘outsider’ fuels his ambition and why artificial intelligence is changing his plans for the company.
