Yossi Abadi: Selected Among 10 Most Innovative Business Leaders Revamping The Future, 2022

Abadi, rated by FORBES as the most recognized Israeli in LATAM, has been selected for his social vision, entrepreneurial spirit and technological development in both America and Africa.

Meet Yossi Abadi, the CEO, and Co-founder of Tenlot Group. Yossi was born and raised in the Holy Land, he is 100% Israeli, but with a Latin spirit. He lived several years in Mexico and the Dominican Republic and speaks fluent Spanish. Yossi is married and the father of two wonderful children.

A person with a clear vision, Yossi is motivated by an abundance of passion. He thinks what best characterizes him is his motivation to create new initiatives, and ideas to start projects from scratch. Yossi felt, he has fulfilled his mission when the other members of his team are as passionate and motivated as he is to lead a project. Yossi is also passionate about diplomacy, social responsibility, business, and entrepreneurship.

Yossi earned his Law (LLB) and International Relations (BA) degrees from Reichman University (IDC) in Israel, specializing in Homeland Security and Terrorism, graduating summa cum laude.

From 2012 to 2015, he was the Chief of Staff of the Minister of Energy and Mines of the Dominican Republic, responsible for international negotiations and alliances with other countries. Yossi had previously served as an International Advisor to the National Authority for Maritime Affairs of the Dominican Republic. He was also appointed as the Honorary Consul of El Salvador in Israel.

The Steadfast Leader

Throughout his life, Yossi has had many people who have left their mark on his vision and career. Above all, Yossi feels blessed to have had the unconditional support of his family.
He has also been privileged to work with a phenomenally successful mentor: Jacob Engel, Chairman, and Founder of Elenilto Group and EngelInvest, as well as Chairman and Co-founder of Tenlot Group. His work in developing markets and philosophy of giving back to communities in which a company works have truly inspired Yossi.

Leading Projects in Various Sectors

Tenlot Group is a high-tech corporation, active in the gaming industry. In addition to providing B2B and B2G services, based on the firm’s advanced, proprietary gaming platform, the firm specializes in private investment in lottery operations in cooperation with various governments worldwide. Its investment group also leads projects in the mining, renewable energy, and infrastructure sectors, with private investments and government alliances on several continents.

Most of the time, Yossi and his colleagues work with governments, and charity organizations, operating under license on their behalf. This requires a lot of responsibility, much more than a simple private project, because there is no room for failure.

Yossi says, “When your team grasps the scope of the responsibilities that come with working on behalf of mega-institutions, you have taken the first step towards a successful operation.” He also adds, “When the client sees the commitment and dedication of the team, they understand that ours is a company that truly looks out for their interests. That is the key.”

A Child who Dreamt of Being a Lawyer

As a child, Yossi always dreamt of becoming a lawyer– a passionate litigator, who fights for justice, as we see in the movies. He prepared himself from a very young age for a career in law, well before university. But once Yossi achieved his goal, he felt that his passion for business, investment, and being able to contribute to the social development of communities was stronger than his love for litigation in court.

Losing fear of taking risks was the first lesson Yossi learned and the first real decision he made. It is what led him to leave what he was doing, change course and embark on new paths. Since then, Yossi always remembers that to reach new heights, you sometimes have to break paradigms.

Yossi decided to leave something solid and promising, in his own country, Israel, and fly abroad to chase a dream that was not even clear. This completely changed the course of my life.

Tackling Primary Challenges

Being an Israeli who works mainly in Latin America and Africa, Yossi Abadi thinks what most caught his attention is the need to adapt to the local culture. Many multinationals come to global markets wanting to impose their style, and they are destined to fail.

He says, “You cannot expect to visit a country and ask whoever invites you to enter their house to have the same style you have. There are so many cultural differences. It’s the biggest challenge in any operation we’ve had.”

Yossi Abadi believes it takes patience, respect, and a willingness to adapt. He adds, “What had surprised me is the patience and confidence my entire executive team has had in the countries in which we operate when faced with significant challenges.”

Picture of the Future

What excites Yossi Abadi most about the future is knowing that anything is possible. To know that there is nothing, that is too out of reach or too difficult – if you only believe it. His personal goal is to continue generating businesses that impact people’s lives and help them change for the better – to make a difference. Knowing that as a company, and as a businessman, Yossi not only generates wealth but also hope.

Matthew Hodgson: Reshaping the Banking Industry

Mosaic Smart Data was born directly out of the challenges its founder and CEO, Matthew Hodgson faced in his career working as a senior trader in fixed income markets. Despite the massive size of the fixed income market, which is worth about 100 trillion globally, the availability of data-driven insight for banks on the deals they are making with clients is often remarkably rudimentary.

Matthew always wanted to ask questions like, “who are my most profitable clients?” “Which ones aren’t trading with me as much as I would like them to?” and “how can I win back their business?” he also added, “If I was running a supermarket, I would know exactly what the answers to those questions were. But in an investment bank, we just didn’t have the data in the right shape to answer these fundamental business questions.”

Eventually, Matthew came up with the idea to build the systems that everyone would need in the banks to make the data available to the traders to do their jobs more effectively. Initially, Matthew and his team tried to build it in-house, but because of the way banks are set up, and the scale of the technological challenge, that wasn’t possible. Later they realized the easiest way to do this was to set up an independent start-up and work with the banks to help them implement the Mosaic technology to fit their needs.

Journey of Mosaic Smart Data

“Starting a company looks easy from the outside but can be enormously challenging.”- says Matthew. He completely focussed on the timing of launching Mosaic Smart Data’s new software ensuring ‘product-market fit.’ Matthew believes, this is an iterative process and requires relentless dedication to find the exact pain point customers feel and then solve for it. However, it’s all about timing, and launching too early can lead to failure as the market is not ready yet. On the other hand, going too late can lead to new competitions as new entrants are already competing away market share and profitability. This is the single most important decision for early-stage companies to consider and this balancing act cannot be sufficiently emphasized.

Matthew says, “It’s vitally important to make sure that the product you are launching has a sustainable proposition and is extensible.” He and his team members are often asked about Mosaic Smart Data’s roadmap for new features and functions looks like and this drives the team’s thinking around ensuring that it remains relevant to its clients. That being said, sometimes it makes sense to take bold risks in anticipation of client demand and this requires deep analysis.

Under Matthew’s leadership, the organization has always focused on accessing broad networks which opens up the avenues to partner with other complementary businesses. One thing must be remembered, a business can’t build everything by itself, so one needs to focus on the existing competitive advantage and outsource where he/she can get to the market faster.

When Self-Belief is a Driving Force

Building a technology like Mosaic is always a huge undertaking. Matthew believes no one has built this kind of real-time and predictive analytics system for FICC (Fixed Income Currencies & Commodities) markets before, so he and his team were breaking new ground.
Matthew says, “At the very beginning, I’d always ask myself why the Apple for fixed income analytics wasn’t available and so that then became the goal – to build a platform that offered the beauty and intuition of an Apple product that masked the enormous complexity and computation behind the user’s experience.”

To that end, the entire team of Mosaic needed the self-belief that it was possible and its designers and engineers were capable of delivering on those objectives. However, at the same time, the team had to remain focused on the micro details and flawless execution necessary to capture the imagination of the biggest players in the financial markets.

Matthew believes, “You need some really powerful analytics which will interrogate the vast flows of trade data to get the information you need. But, beyond that, you also need to find a way to present that data in an intuitive, graphical way so the trader or salesperson can very quickly look at their Mosaic dashboard and get the information straight away.”

The firm has put a lot of effort into building something beautiful and a joy to use, as well as bringing incredibly powerful real-time analytics into the hands of the trading and sales desks.

Data Analytics is the Future

According to Matthew Hodgson, Data analytics is going to become the cornerstone of a bank’s competitive advantage. One of the very interesting trends Matthew Hodgson and his team at Mosaic have seen recently, illustrates, although banks are in many cases reducing their technology spend, they are putting more money into purchasing market data. At the same time, venues are charging more for the trade data services which they offer, reflecting the value that data represents to trading institutions.

With the leaps forward that Mosaic Smart Data is seeing in machine learning and analytics more broadly, the banks can see the potential that data holds to improve the performance of their trading desks, picking out trends and patterns that no human could compute at the speed of thought. That is why they are prepared to spend so much on this data.

However, in many cases, they are underutilizing the data which they already hold. Banks’ trade data is spread across their organization in different databases and held in different formats. If banks bought that data together into one secure, standardized data lake, it could speed up their big data adoption and slash the cost of buying in market data at the same time.

Some Advice

When we asked Matthew Hodgson to provide a few suggestions for young entrepreneurs he says, “I think it comes down to building the best team. As the founder of a start-up, you cannot possibly do everything or be intimately involved in every decision.” He adds, “You have to find people who you really trust and are the very best at what they do and then give them the space to perform. My role is then to make sure that everyone is pulling in the same direction and ensuring we are making progress.”

New entrepreneurs need to remain positive under the most challenging times as teams will respond positively to consistency and a ‘can-do-never-say-die’ attitude. Matthew Hodgson always keeps reminding himself to operate from a transformational rather than transactional perspective. With software such as Mosaic’s, it is focused on improving the clients’ profitability and market share and that requires consultative sales and deep domain expertise.

He adds, “If you know what you are talking about, it’s only a matter of time before you can transform your clients’ environment and as a consequence, the transaction with them and invoice will follow.”

Martin Wachter: Leading the World of Virtual Sports and Betting Solutions

With the intent of offering the first real sportsbook with a virtual outcome, Martin Wachter, the CEO of GoldenRace founded the company. GoldenRace is a world-leading developer and provider of award-winning virtual sports and betting solutions for land-based and online operators. Based on its target of offering a real sportsbook, Martin and his team created realistic odds, and their virtual sports engage players constantly, generating more than 25 million bets per day through the firm’s partners around the globe.

The company’s bestseller is its virtual football league. Apart from virtual football GoldenRace is also one of the global market leaders in pre-recorded video sports, and its games have been licensed and certified in the most demanding jurisdictions. They are currently available in over 50,000 shops and on more than 400 websites.

The Man Behind the Company

Martin was born and raised in a small village in the Austrian mountains, and since childhood, he has dreamed of creating something big. Martin is comfortable adjusting to any situation and doesn’t get flustered easily when faced with unexpected challenges.

After finishing school Martin began working in sales for an insurance company and from day one, he loved to sell; he considers it one of his strongest talents. Martin started to learn about this business and what he does today in another company but bringing his idea was proving to be difficult. So, becoming an entrepreneur gave him the chance to achieve all his dreams and share his experience with others.

Martin also feels that to be successful in business, and in private it is important to not only be financially healthy, but people should also keep themselves fit mentally and physically. For those reasons, Martin does several different sports and studies a lot about food and diets.

Ensuring Client Satisfaction

Martin feels, one of the good things about Golden Race, is the company has clients in all areas of the world – those small businesses with dreams of becoming big, like Martin himself in the past, and also larger clients who are leaders in the market. Martin and his team at GoldenRace don’t differentiate or make decisions about where they are now – they look at their potential, their future, and where they want to go.

In terms of unbreakable faith, GoldenRace’s clients know that the firm takes responsibility for mistakes related to its products and that the firm keeps its word through the good and the bad. An agreement is an agreement and this is how Martin and his colleagues work.

Tackling Primary Challenges

During the early days, Martin and his partner decided to fund the business without any external funds, which posed a lot of challenges for the firm. It was a very challenging time to be able to employ new people as the business wasn’t big enough. Martin and his partner had to do jobs on the side to finance their dream and pay the employees on time.

The first 8 years were very difficult for both of them, as they worked every day and the outcomes were not as expected, but they never gave up, and then things changed for the good and now they have built something big.

Martin says, “The challenges grow, the team grows and it’s a big responsibility when you know that your 300 employees are counting on their jobs to support themselves and their families and children.” He also adds, “We’ve worked hard to be in a good position and have an amazing business – even the pandemic didn’t stop us from having so many employees.”

A Balanced and Equal Industry

When it comes to creating a balanced and equal industry, Martin’s first suggestion is to reinforce that companies are successful thanks to the people that work in them – the boss is just one person. Happy employees are the cause of a successful business. In his view, one should never ask people to do something he/she is not willing to do, and leading by example is essential. He feels, it’s important to find ways for your teams to have a good work-life balance, which is one of the reasons Martin Wachter has implemented a 4-day working week.

Martin says, “To be more balanced as a company, you should try to be clear where you want to be and what you want to achieve. You should have your own goals and not be driven by what your competition does.” He further adds, “Customers are also what makes the company grow. At GoldenRace one of our main targets is to help our customers grow as it will help us to grow as well.”

Future Goals

Martin feels it’s important that GoldenRace always remember where it came from and what made it what it is today so, the firm can continue growing and remain the global market leader. Martin and his colleagues want to expand the business in new markets, especially in North America, with new partnerships already signed in the US and Canada. Martin Wachter is excited about everything that has happened so far and will in the future.

GoldenRace still has a lot to do and markets to access, which motivates Martin to carry on pursuing his work and his story of success.

One of the things which makes him most excited and proud is that GoldenRace doesn’t follow the market – the market follows it and its creativity, and Martin Wachter will do all that needs to be done to remain on this level.

The 10 Most Innovative Business Leaders Revamping the Future, 2022

Wies van ‘t Slot: An Award-winning Business Woman, Mother,& An Outcast Visionary Entrepreneur

With a passion to do things differently. More transparent above all, and more digital, Wies van ‘t Slot, Director, 365Werk spearheads her brand to do just that – Digitalize the recruitment and hiring process. She aimed at creating her own culture in her teams and this is what kicked her off and keeps her speeding forward. Forty two-year-old Wies became director and co-owner of 365Werk six years ago, after a career in the Randstad and YoungCapital world.

Full of ambition and full of confidence, Wies van ‘t Slot, a passionate, enthusiastic, hard-working entrepreneur, is the mother of three beautiful boys (13, 11, 9). Being a mum has always been her active wish, as has to be an entrepreneur. The inspiring lady had been dreaming of leading her own company for quite some time before she actually had collected enough guts to go out and give it a shot. “Being an entrepreneur is who I am. It’s who I’ve always been”, said Wies.

More about the Firm

In a shrinking market, the online employment agency, 365Werk has managed to grow, year after year. Besides, Wies started concentrating on the service, saying: if we want to be as online as possible, we need the best human service ever in combination with that’. It was a decision and a focus that really led the team to where they stand now. Investing in the software continues undiminished, A-level service is their main goal. To achieve that, the way the teams are composed and working together is key.

In the last six years, 365Werk has been honoured with FD Gazellen Awards four times, a prize for companies with the largest rise in revenues. Also, because of the rapid growth of 365Werk, Wies has been recognized as one of the hundred most successful businesswomen in the Netherlands.

Clientele & Branding Strategies

365Werk is operating in four different industries: catering, logistics, cleaning, and business services. To ensure their service level keeps surpassing the expectation of their clients, the 365Werk team regularly investigate their wishes and criticism. Their wishes are put directly on top of their innovation agenda. Wies and her team always keep in mind that they have to stay flexible, being able to adapt to new insights and desires.

“We are young, fresh, different, a bit puckish, cheerful, not formal at all. Our message is that anyone can be a boss. That’s our tagline as well. Thanks to us, you’re able to manage how, when, and where you’re working”, asserted Wies while talking about her unique branding strategies.

Impacts of Covid-19 & Solutions

From one day to the next, 365Werk lost about two-thirds of their revenues, mainly due to their hospitality and catering clients being closed down. Immediately following that shock, they started mediating their people to other branches. Meanwhile, they went out to connect more clients from businesses that weren’t torn down by the crisis. One of the riskiest parts of their strategy was that Wies decided to stop sending bills to her clients in hospitality, to protect them from stressing out. The plan worked out beautifully when the government started to help out businesses, which she had anticipated. Today, their client portfolio is more differentiated than it ever was, thanks to the strategy during the deep Covid crises.

From the Founder’s Desk

From within my organization, I can’t see any challenge other than always keeping in mind our teams having an eye on diversity. And of course, there’s the ever-going struggle to use ‘female skills’ like empathizing and being vulnerable on the one hand, and being strict and clear on the other, without growing the label ‘bitch’. Outside my own company, challenges are bigger. Inside the business networks, I feel part of, there are only a few women. It’s always difficult to mix naturally with large groups of men. Whereas they seem to be pals, talking about guy’s stuff, I will never completely fit in. Partly because the stuff palls talk about doesn’t really interest me, but mostly because palls tend to feel forced to switch subject and attitude when a woman is around. That’s something no woman wants to happen.

Wies’s Approach to Entrepreneurship

First of all – and this sounds a bit trite – you have to maintain your own course, stay close to who you are. In her opinion, the worst thing you could do is try to change the way you act. Being a woman in a male-dominated surrounding offers opportunities to your advantage as well. For example, it’s much easier for me to stay top of mind than it is for a man in a blue blazer.

Challenges Faced by Women Entrepreneurs & Wies’s Advice

Wies said, “In my country, the biggest challenge is facing criticism regarding motherhood. A lot of people don’t understand or do not wish to understand how a mother can spend so much time being an entrepreneur whilst having young kids. The danger of being labelled a “bad mother” is one of the biggest factors of woman entrepreneurship being relatively rare. ‘How do you manage at home?’ is a F.A.Q. to a female entrepreneur. Men never receive that question.”

She continued, “I think the way to handle this pressure is to believe in what you are doing. The only way to feel free to do so is to make sure things at home are well organised. Once you’re convinced your family is taken care of, and your professional ambition is undisputed, you should be able to withstand the criticism of that kind and move forward in order to achieve your goals. Just accept that people might have other opinions.”

The Current Hurdles

Wies’s main worry now is how to move the company to the next step, with revenues of around 60 million euros. It’s a big and fantastic challenge to figure out in which way my teams are up to it and to prioritize the tasks ahead. It means She is looking into investments, opening new branches, hiring new talent, and strengthening the IT backbone.

A Day in Wies’s Life

The alarm rings at 06.30. Wies gets up, goes out to have a short hike with her dogs, returns to have breakfast with her husband and sons, takes a shower and leaves at 08.00 for a twenty minutes drive to the office. Every day, the leading lady’s agenda is filled with numerous appointments inside and outside the office. Most of the time, she arrives back home at around 1800 so she can assist her kids with their sports training and have dinner. A couple of times a week she goes out in the evening to the gym, on other nights there’s a network meeting. And sometimes she is at home, watching Netflix with her husband.

365Werk in the Next Five Years

“The next few years are dedicated to growing even faster. We’re going to achieve that thanks to a combination of IT and an ever-improving service. Our means is to extend our efforts on making the best ‘Tinder for work’. That’ll give us the possibility to stay strong and grow. In the next five years, we’ll definitely open more offices around the country and strengthen our brand”, Wies proudly shared.

Words of Wisdom

Just do it. Take it step by step, but get started. You don’t need extensive plans, because they’ll change along the way. There are a thousand reasons not to start as an entrepreneur. Don’t listen to them. Give it a shot, the best shot you have.

Farah Hawilo: Trust Capital TC – Enriching lives, creating Reliability!

Businesses come and go, what stays is the presence, the impact, and the name of the enterprise. Business is more about creating a relationship between the company and the customers than selling something to someone.

A company is always on the search and hunt for the next big innovation, which could carve their name in the hall of fame, but, what about the existing products/services they offer?

There are a lot of companies offering similar products/services but only a few prevail and take the top spot. What makes the customers follow these names only, and overlook any other, despite discounts, extra benefits, etc.?

The answer is Trust and Reliability.

Farah Hawilo is one of the leading and eccentric businesswomen of 2021. She is not only an effervescent leader but also a great persona, inspiring budding entrepreneurs and exiting businessmen/businesswomen.

Farah Hawilo is the Executive Director of Trust Capital TC. Trust Capital TC provides a secure, reliable, and transparent environment to trade CFDs on Forex, Metals, Commodities, Indices, and Cryptocurrencies.

Offering direct access to the financial markets with the benefits of competitive pricing, tight spreads, low commission, and negative balance protection.

Since Brokers do not share a good image in the market, Farah Hawilo and her company aim to eradicate that by providing services that are unmatched, top-notch, and completely transparent. Trust Capital TC revolutionizes the traditional image and perception of Brokers.

Farah Hawilo, and her will to create something extraordinary and change the face of trading and the air around it, makes her one of the most dynamic businesswomen to watch in 2021

“To achieve something that you’ve never achieved, you have to do something that you’ve never done”

The Company, the Journey

Trust Capital TC started a revolution in the securities market. Licensed in 2018, with a mission to provide an environment where traders have transparency and reliability. Their base of operations is set up in Cyprus, with the representative office in Dubai UAE.

They offer a trading platform for clients to invest, whether they are retail or professional clients. They offer a lot of instrument support, such as Forex, Metals, indices, energies, Commodities, and now cryptocurrencies.

To cater to clients of all kinds and offer different account types suited for all kinds of investors, professional or starting out, Trust Capital TC offers a one-stop solution.

Being a broker, a company faces many claims, which are on the negative side. But Trust Capital TC rises as the knight in shining armor for all those cheated, mistreated, or conned by traditional brokers. The defining characteristic feature of Trust Capital TC is the education they offer, and that too free of cost! They conduct webinars, seminars, and provide online education. They also have a program called the Forex Mentor, providing one-on-one training.

Trust Capital TC and its team know trading into Indices, Forex, etc. is a risky job. They offer education so people and their clients can learn. They impart education, not to get accounts, but to establish trust and eradicate improper knowledge which stains the occupation of trading as a whole. They are the change, by being the change!

They also offer practice accounts, so people can practice trading with virtual money. This does not stop here as Trust Capital TC monitors the account with them, and tries to give them some tips, etc. on how to trade and how to get better, and much more.

One of the most challenging tasks for Trust Capital TC and its team was to get their license. As they moved and chose Cyprus as the base of operation, CySEC (Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission) had introduced regulatory changes, implied stringent rules, and regulations. As the leverages were reduced to 1:30 from 1:100, making it less risky for traders, brought in a lot of compliance work, etc. to get a license.

Moreover, to get the license they had to plan and regulate policies, in adherence to the regulations, keeping it completely transparent at all times. With dedication, hard work, and luck on their side, they were one of the last companies to get a CySEC license!

After the license, next was the task of setting up the company, but that was something they were already prepared for, making it easy for them to establish their firm.

What pushes Trust Capital TC to grow and succeed?

A lot happened during the pandemic, and for Trust Capital TC it was a make-or-break situation. There were many changes going on in the markets and people’s mindsets too. The shuffle in employment opportunities pushed people to become more aware of what trading can offer, especially as a second income source.

To tap this space, Trust Capital TC conducted online webinars, a lot of them. Projected towards educating and creating awareness about trading online, what it means to invest online, and it is not as difficult as it seems. This not only led to more clients, but traders who are educated, aware, and understand trading, which Trust Capital TC strives to achieve.

People of different fields also became more interested in trading, because Trust Capital TC broke many myths along its journey for its clients and students.

‘You can only trade if you know finance’.
“This is not true; you can learn anything that you’re interested in. All it takes is time, effort, and education. This is why we are here to help”. – Farah Hawilo, Executive Director, Trust Capital TC

Trust Capital’s roots for its long-standing success

What makes Trust Capital TC successful and the first choice of traders is its reputation with its clients. As there are hundreds of brokers, spread across different instruments, regulated, and not regulated, etc. The unregulated ones, unfortunately, have made a bad reputation. There are many cases where clients face difficulty receiving their profits, customer service was bad after they opened an account, and so on.

Trust Capital’s ethics is to have great customer service and to make sure client is aware of every stage of their account. Even after they closed the account, they make sure they’re doing okay. They keep a check and make sure their clients receive anything they need, along with the surety of debiting/crediting funds on time. They do frequent follow-ups, making sure the client has received profits, is up to date, etc.

Another factor making Trust Capital TC sought-after and acclaimed is the transparency with cost. Their pricing is everywhere, on the website, and on terms and conditions, etc. They make sure the client doesn’t miss anything because it is the money that they’re investing. So, they make sure to take care of that very much and be transparent with the client!

Services offered by Trust Capital TC, and what sets them apart

Trust Capital TC offers a variety of instruments to trade in, right from Forex, Metals, Gold, Silver, Commodities, Indices, and now offering Cryptocurrency. They offer CFDs (Contract for Differences) on these instruments. CFDs are more based on speculation, thus allowing one to trade without purchasing an instrument. This means one can trade with a higher quantity, with a lower amount. CFDs on crypto are being offered by very few, but with reliability and trust on Trust Capital TC, there is no better option out there!

As mentioned earlier they provide education too. They have created a mobile app that helps the client track their trades, making their trading simple and easy, thus, saving their on-screen time. Clients also get pop-up notifications showing trade information, etc. They also receive other benefits right from the calendar of news to calculators that they might need, and much more.

They also offer affiliated partnerships. If someone wants to refer clients, they have a program for them. Also, liquidity offering is also provided. If it’s a corporate account and they want to open an account, get liquidity, etc. Trust Capital TC also provides that.

There are a lot of factors that set Trust Capital TC and its services apart. They make sure that pricing is competitive. They offer different account types with different pricing and different commission. So, clients can choose accounts, pricing, etc. to their needs.

They also provide as many payment methods as possible. They have PayPal, Neteller, Skrill, credit card debit card, and bank transfer, so no one feels restricted with one payment method.

Also, the free education is a huge plus, because almost all the Brokers have great offerings but only a few offer education, and that too on a condition if you’re a funded client with them.

Trust Capital TC also offers immersive and proactive customer service. It’s 24 hours, 24×7, all days a week, even when the markets are closed, making sure clients receive regular updates about everything, are always in the light!

New additions to Trust Capital’s service arsenal

They are in the works of offering equities, which would make Trust Capital TC a one-stop-shop for the client. Clients will be able to open a trading account with them and trade Apple, Amazon, and other equities. The best part being, one account with Trust Capital TC enables you to trade a variety of instruments, right from crypto to gold, crude oil, currency, and much more!

What makes it interesting as now equity CFDs will be available to trade along with education, making Trust Capital TC a complete solution for traders and investors.

How Trust Capital TC goes ahead with changing times and trends

Trust Capital TC offers various instruments to trade and invest. They are integrating new instruments, such as cryptocurrency, which is being offered by very few in the market. Also, the regular additions and updates to the mobile app, making the whole experience seamless. Moreover, the team is always looking for changing trends, new technology, etc. which can be integrated to make sure their services are unrivaled and always the best the industry has to offer!

The Leading Lady, Farah Hawilo

Farah Hawilo started her education in finance, got her bachelor’s degree in banking and Finance in Lebanon. Right off the bat she started working and initiated her journey to get some experience in the Forex industry.

She started from customer support, to learn all the ins and outs of the Forex world, right from client account opening, back office, etc. She also pursued and accumulated few certificates including risk and investment compliance by Reuters, Bloomberg terminal, etc. that fetched her more knowledge, skills, helping her get up the ladder.

All this prepared her and provided her the knowledge she needed to start her company. Followed the start of Trust Capital TC, where she was handling different roles and departments, such as operations, HR department, Compliance department, dealing with sales, etc.

Farah Hawilo feels the highlight of her professional journey is getting the CySEC license, owing to stringent norms, compliance, regulations, etc., and nurturing her company to become a successful and respectable name in the market.

From there to open up a new office in Dubai, dedicating herself to bring more awareness and education amongst traders, eradicating the bad image around Brokers, and expanding the business is one of the major highlights of her career!

What Farah thinks are the responsibilities of an entrepreneur

Number one is to be true to what you are doing. If you’re working on something and comparing yourself all the time to similar businesses, you won’t ever be ahead of the competition. Your work should keep you more into a tunnel vision, towards the goal, in the end, to have other people look at you, copy you, and not the other way around!

Be true to yourself, true to what you are doing, and at the same time don’t only look at it as a profit-making making business. It will get there as long as you have your ethics and the company. You have to make sure about the way you treat your employees, make sure to relay the message that the employees are not working for you, they’re working with you. To build a culture where works towards the same goal.

Always keep learning. No One Ever Knows enough. Keep trying to develop yourself, make sure you’re up to date with whatever new is going on in the markets and technology because times are changing very fast.

“They say you have to do what you love but to be honest to get to that goal you want; you have to go through phases, where you are not enjoying the process so much. I was doing compliance work, working in different departments that were not my initial passion. But in the end, this is what led me to the goal. You’re going through phases that you don’t love and you don’t enjoy at that point. You have to get through them. And you will reach your end goal!” Farah Hawilo adds.

Team of Trust Capital TC

Every member of Trust Capital TC goes to work with the goal of personal development, which is something that they love in the company.

They don’t go for a nine-to-five shift, they focus on their personal development in the company, and how to best provide their clients. Trust Capital TC and its environment promotes learning and pushes its team to pursue certifications, seminars, and education.

So, this approach helps the team grow and motivates them to apply their knowledge and skills, bringing out the best of Trust Capital TC!

This culture inspires the team to branch out, and do even more than their job description. Inspiring a feeling of oneness towards the company, providing clients with 110% dedication and focus, and innovating along the way, make the team of Trust Capital TC exceptional and one of the best there is!

Farah’s views on constant vigilance- as a need or strategy

You cannot be naïve about what you’re doing, the company, etc. thus. You have to be aware, and keep up with the changes. So, definitely, it’s a need and a strategy!

You need to see what’s going on around you, need to see what market is offering, so you can offer better.

“Whether it comes to marketing your products, you always have to be listening”

You have to be doing your research, see the trends, etc. Then comes the part of keeping up with the trends around practices, this is where your strategy kicks in!

Farah’s take on the competition in the market, and how she deals with it

On a personal level, one has to get some balance in the personal life. As the work doesn’t stop after 5 or 6 p.m. and keeps going. So, you have to have that balance, for your mental health, for your well-being, etc. you need to balance.

Also, spending time with oneself is important. Give your thoughts space and time, moreover, give yourself the time you deserve!

On a professional level, always read the news. Stay in tune with what’s happening, so you can keep up. “If you get drowned in your work only and you’re not aware of what’s going on the outside, you won’t be able to reach the daily tasks that you want to reach.” – Farah Hawilo adds.

Founded in 2011, Scopernia has been connecting with big and small enterprises, offering them a sneak peek of what’s next and help them flourish in an evolving world under the guidance of Jeremy Denisty. Scopernia is the brainchild of two visionaries, Dado van Peteghem and Jo Caudron. They founded this company 11 years ago and Jeremy took the helm in 2020 as the Managing Director.

Personifying an amazing, hardworking, organized, inspiring, optimistic, and self-motivated individual who diligently transverses the path to achieving, Jeremy holds great expertise and extensive knowledge because of his continuous dedication.

The 30-year-old business leader was born and raised in Belgium, and he grew up walking on the path of artistic life. Jeremy started acting lessons when he was 4, was a child actor as main characters in French feature films from 2005 up until 2019, worked as a radio host, and in some TV programs.

Besides his involvement in the media, Jeremy continued his studies and ended up getting a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Sciences and 2 MSc in International Management and Management Sciences. His first business professional experience was at Procter & Gamble in France, working on Pampers.

At the end of his studies, Jeremy decided to put his artistic life aside and had the opportunity to join Henkel, P&G, or Unilever. He chose Unilever and spent 5 amazing years at Unilever as a Sales & Marketing Manager in France, Belgium, and The Netherlands.

Jeremy and his wife always wanted to move abroad, so when she had the opportunity to transfer to Dubai at the end of 2019, he quit his beloved Unilever job and they moved to Dubai. The day Mr Denisty landed in Dubai he met Scopernia’s Founding Partner, Dado Van Peteghem. One week later he started working as an Engagement Manager. 5 months later, in the heart of the COVID crisis, Jeremy took the lead of the office with a clear strategic plan in mind for the Firm’s future.

What Inspired Jeremy to be an Author?

Communication and playing with words have always been something Jeremy enjoyed and felt comfortable with, from his early days in his acting career.” When he understood the force for good it could be in business, it pushed him into writing.

Clients & Unbreakable Faith

Scopernia serves every organization with more than 100 employees. By design in the region, since the company got here through a massive transformation project with the Chalhoub Group, they tend to have more clients in Luxury, Retail, and Consumer Goods.

We are 100% reliable, strive to deliver above expectations, always, and consider ourselves as advisors rather than contractors. That mindset is a standard in our organization. On top of that, we don’t price based on hours spent but fixed on the value created.”

Hurdles on the Way

When asked about his initial challenges, Jeremy Denisty said, “The primary challenge was to re-think who we were going to serve, helping them solve which problems. We re-focused our organization on business growth and transformation (what it was initially founded on) and managed the pivot with success.”

The Driving Force

Having focus: single-minded focus will put you closer to your goal(s)

See the world through others’ eyes: search for new perspectives, whether it is to innovate or to empathize
Strive for perfection: never settle for average, details matter and will make a difference
Be loyal and operate with integrity: great leaders will want you at their side, trust unlocks everything
Hard work is easy: be disciplined, commit to yourself and what you can accomplish.
Live multiple lives: be open to new opportunities, pivot, change, add, and subtract
Don’t let failures take you down: they are part of the process, they exist to make us better, smarter, and more mature.
Leverage every skill you have: what do you do better than 99% of the people you know?Figure it out, leverage it.
Love, and be loved: nurture relationships, listen more than you talk, be truthful, thankful, and genuinely happy for the success of others

How the Logistics Industry is Changing Lives Around the Planet

Logistics in general is a very overlooked and under appreciated industry. Without a properly functioning logistics industry, our supply chain would be inefficient, and we would not get all the goods we rely on for survival.

The cold supply chain is even more sensitive. When shipping perishable goods such as frozen or chilled food, pharmaceuticals or electronics the temperature and humidity within the shipping container need to be held at certain levels and monitored throughout the time the shipment is in transit. If the refrigeration unit within such a shipping container fails for some reason, and as a result the temperature within the container spike up, then by the end of the journey the contents inside the container will spoil or become unusable and destroyed. You may find more here how experienced freight forwarder service providers can help you safely deliver your container.

For decades many shippers of such perishable goods have relied on freight forwarders to process and schedule such shipments for them. Processing such shipments can be a very frustrating, time consuming, unreliable and expensive ordeal; especially when these shipments are international rather than domestic. So, shippers opt to pay freight forwarders to deal with these headaches.

The problem is that the traditional freight forwarding industry is old, outdated and technologically challenged. Freight forwarders are processing shipments today as they have for decades. To process one shipment can take hours, days and sometimes even weeks of constant phone calls, emails and even faxes. Rarely can a traditional freight forwarder provide real time information regarding a shipment’s GPS, temperature or humidity. If there is a problem with a shipment, then the traditional freight forwarders can do no more than simply convey the bad news to the shipper if and when they are notified of an issue. This industry is in dire need of technological advancement and automation.

Enter automated freight forwarders.

As stated earlier, traditional freight forwarders rely on outdated technology such as fax machines for communication with the shippers. Traditional freight forwarders also are reliant on manual labor to process and schedule shipments. This leads to long processing times as well as inefficiencies. In recent years, there has been an influx of startups in the logistics industry. Real time tracking devices, API (Application Program Interface) and blockchain technology are just a few of the innovations that have come to market. These new tools have really helped take the logistics industry out of the dark ages and improve the efficiency and visibility and accountability of all shipments. Putting all these new tools under one roof to provide a much better shipping experience is what automated freight forwarders are doing.

By automating the entire processing and scheduling of an international shipment of perishable goods, the time it takes to process such shipments is reduced to as little as a few seconds. Having systems communicate via API rather than manual labor leads to a dramatic decrease of time and manpower required in the process. Shippers as well as vendors can opt to allocate labor from non-revenue generating positions in logistics to revenue generating positions in business development such as sales and marketing.

When shipping perishable goods overseas, there are many documents that need to accompany such shipments; bills of lading, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved Health Certificates, Certificates of Origin. Many times, these documents are misplaced, lost or damaged. A shipment cannot be released from the port of destination without such documents. If the documents are missing or inaccurate, then the shipment will not be released by the local authorities and this will lead to delays as well as warehousing expenses until the proper documents are presented to the local authorities. The blockchain technology solves these issues. Shippers simply upload the required documents and certificates for anyone on the blockchain to see and use.

As stated earlier, when shipping perishable goods, monitoring of temperature and humidity are extremely important. Tracking devices provide that information now in real time, as well as GPS of the shipment. Now shippers can know if and when there is an issue with a shipment and flag it at the port of destination upon arrival. As a result, the shipper can avoid any inconveniences with their customer.

Transship Corp is the first and only automated freight forwarding platform that is focused on international shipments of full container loads of perishable goods. All the automation that was mentioned above is what Transship has managed to develop and implement. The pandemic has opened many company’s eyes as they evaluate improving efficiencies in their supply chain. As a result, companies such as Tyson Meats, UNFI and Oatly have all approved Transship as a vendor. The automation and digitalization of freight forwarding is here and Transship is leading the way.

Closing Thoughts

Automation of the freight forwarding industry is a natural progression. The business model of the traditional freight forwarders is based on manual labor. It would take a nearly impossible change of course for them to automate entirely. That is where startups are filling the void and revolutionizing how international shipments of perishable goods are processed and scheduled.

Back in the day the horse and buggy got you from one place to another. But how effective and efficient was the horse and buggy. Today people are driving Tesla’s. What happened to the horse and buggy? Their day has clearly passed. Same applies to the traditional and technologically challenged freight forwarders. These dinosaurs’ days have passed. It is time for shippers and vendors alike to enjoy the benefits of automated freight forwarding.
