About Omid Scheybani:

My next guest on The One Percent Project is Omid Scheybani. Omid is of Iranian origin who was born and bought up in Germany. He kicked-off his career with Google in Dublin, then moved to Google US and was responsible for Google’s LATAM cloud business, landed up heading international expansion for the Chinese bike-sharing unicorn platform Ofo and now he is with Robinhood, Fintech unicorn in the US. Omid's vast experience across different international markets allows him to draw comparisons between regions in ways few can.

In this conversation, he talks about:

• What does scaling a business mean?
• What are the various tangible and intangible accepts of scaling a business?
• His learning from growing Google's cloud business in LATAM, being the global head of international expansion for Ofo and launching this own eCommerce platform Flamingo in China.
• Why has Robinhood been able to disrupt such an established industry in the US?
