Episode Details

Revolut built its own performance framework when an Excel sheet stopped scaling and culture began shifting at just over 100 employees.

At Slush in Helsinki, I spoke with Georgian Andrei, GM of Revolut People, about how that internal system ties every employee to measurable KPIs that update in real time and how it has now become a standalone product aimed at helping other European companies scale with the same performance discipline that powered Revolut’s growth.
