What does it take to lead one of the world’s most respected fintech companies in a region that’s still defining its next decade of growth?

In this episode of Retail Re:Mix Stories, we sit down with Daumantas Grigaravicius, Head of Middle East at Adyen, to unpack a journey that’s anything but linear — from growing up in the UK, to launching a coffee subscription startup, dabbling in crypto, and now building future-facing infrastructure across the MENA region.But this isn’t just a story about payments.

It’s about building smart systems, spotting patterns in emerging markets, and choosing clarity over chaos — both at work and at home. Daumantas reflects on the kind of leadership that prioritizes long-term impact over short-term hype, and how he creates space for balance, family, and giving back — without compromising ambition.

If you’re thinking about how to scale with purpose, stay sharp in fast-evolving industries, or lead with calm in the middle of complexity — this one’s for you.
