#142: Mind your Karma, Kristina Walcker-Mayer, Nuri

Our guest today is the CEO of Nuri (formerly Bitwala) and a
digital thought leader. Nuri enables customers to invest in
cryptocurrency directly from their bank account. As Kristina
Walcker-Mayer puts it: it is banking without the bankers.


Kristina is rapidely becoming the chief storyteller of
neobanking, shaping topics around investing, blockchain,
cryptocurrency and modern leadership. In this episode she pulls
back the curtain on how she leads Germany's third-largest neobank
with her honest and transparent communication, and how a trip to
Asia influenced her leadership style.


Kristina joined Nuri in 2020 as CPO after previous senior roles
at N26 and Zalando. Before taking over as CEO, she repositioned
and scaled the product and design team, drove Nuri’s successful
fundraising efforts together with Ben Jones and defined the
future direction of the product.


In this episode we take a deep dive into:


️ Why CEOS don’t have to have all the answers and what else
matters in modern leadership


The learnings, challenges and benefits of rebranding Bitwala to
Nuri


How to attract employees and retain talent even if a competitor
offers twice the salary


And: How this year’s summer party will solve Kristina's biggest
communication challenge?!
