From Finance To Founder with Karan Shanmugarajah

In this episode I'm  joined by Karan Shanmugarajah. Karan’s journey has taken him from Sri Lanka to Canada and finally to the UK. His passion for finance started when he was a kid and it never really stopped! He’s gone from managing the wealth of some of the UK's wealthiest individuals, to creating the tech to manage the digital wealth management revolution.
