C-Speak: The Language of Executives
Mike Massaro, CEO, Flywire
Flywire CEO Mike Massaro does not take credit for building the once-struggling tech startup into a global, publicly traded company. The credit goes to the company’s “flymates,” aka employees, Massaro shares in the latest episode of PNC C-Speak.
Massaro, who once considered himself unprepared for the job and thought he’d be “the shortest-tenured CEO in the history of tech CEOs,” was the recipient of the 2019 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in financial services.
During Flywire’s early days, Massaro says, the company’s culture was unearthed but not defined. Now it’s part of the organization’s core values. So are diversity, equity and inclusion. Massaro credits Flywire’s Chief People Officer Gary Cunningham with making him realize “if you can solve for equity and inclusion, you will inherently become more diverse.” These days, Massaro considers Flywire to be a “uniquely diverse company.”
Listen to the episode to hear more about how Massaro worked toward building a great culture at Flywire; the best advice he has been given; his outlook on Boston business; and what makes him laugh these days. Powered by PNC Bank.
