Scaling Sharesies: Leadership, trust and culture as you grow
In this Superhumans conversation, we’ll be joined by leaders from Sharesies to explore what it takes to scale a mission‑led company while staying true to the culture that made it successful - including what it looks like to build an incredible, high‑performing organisation with 1 million customers.
Sharesies has become one of New Zealand’s most recognisable fintech success stories, growing rapidly while staying anchored in its mission to make investing accessible to everyone. As the company has scaled, its leaders have had to balance growth, performance, and culture while keeping teams aligned and customers’ trust at the centre.
This will be a practical conversation for founders and leadership teams navigating growth, offering a candid look at the realities of scaling a mission-driven business.
For six years, we've had a true partnership with Humankind. They understand our business ambitions, are extremely capable and adaptable. They're just part of the team.
