The Ripple CEO added that he traveled with Ripple President Monica Long and other members of the leadership team to Dublin, London, Singapore, and Sydney to meet employees across the company’s global offices, including staff who joined Ripple through acquisitions such as GTreasury, Hidden Road, Rail, Palisade, and Solvexia.
The CEO also shared observations about global operations and company culture. “Centers of gravity (business and/or employee) are never stagnant, and getting out of the US coastal mindset is imperative. It was incredibly energizing to hear from new and longtime Ripplers on what moves the needle where they are.” He also stressed the importance of internal discipline and ownership within the company, writing: “Culture cannot be taken for granted. More than ever, we’re championing a maniacal focus and eliminating bureaucracy for employees to be owners. Don’t confuse activity with progress.” On product strategy, the executive added: “Adoption doesn’t happen overnight. Platforms > point solutions. Meet customers where they are, not where they might be in a couple of years.”
