In this episode of the Apollo League Podcast, we talk to Simon Rollenbeck, newly appointed Chief Marketing Officer of MozaikPlay. 

Simon secured the role via the Apollo League platform. 

We discuss Simon’s incredible career trajectory which saw him set up Expedia’s APAC marketing function single-handedly and build it into one of the world’s marketing teams, his personal values and approach to business, the need to be humble and what it was about MozaikPlay’s mission and business model that attracted him. 

In this episode of the Apollo League Podcast, we talk to JP Monck about his appointment to the Board of award-winning fintech scale-up Life Sherpa via the Apollo League platform. 

JP is a leading expert on risk and compliance, having worked at the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. 

We discuss the impact of the recent Royal Commission into Banking in Australia and how it has changed the risk and compliance landscape, the common risk traps affecting scale-up companies, the role of an ethics charter, and how the right policies and procedures can avoid them.
