In this conversation, Ben speaks to Ahmed Ahres, Founding Engineer at Heron Data. Ahmed knew from early on that he wanted to one day found his own company, and his career choices - from joining Revolut, finishing his education early, and joining Heron Data early in the company’s own journey, have been steered by a clear focus on this ultimate goal.

Ahmed discusses how to make decisions with clarity as opposed to certainty, and how one of the most important realisations in his own career path has been to focus on people who inspire him, rather than focus narrowly on technical or professional fields when choosing where to work.
