In this episode, we are excited to welcome Frédéric Mazzella, Founder, Chairman and Former CEO of BlaBlaCar, the world’s largest carpooling platform. Mazzella is also an active investor, startup board member and Co-President Entrepreneur of France Digitale.
In our conversation, Mazzella speaks to us about how to think big but act small at the beginning of global expansion initiatives, how to create a business name with global appeal, building a community of trust within an organisation, successful strategies like how to “build for two markets,” and how to hire a talented, internationally-minded local team who connect with your company culture and how to listen to them and leverage their local market expertise.
