Episode Synopsis

This week we welcome Hashim Alkaff onto Rising Giants. Hashim arrived in Cambodia in 2019 as the leader of Grab's business in the country as it went through a period of rapid growth in the market after working for the company in Singapore. In 2021 he took on a new challenge and began a role with Wing, where he is the Chief Business officer leading their new business unit 'Wing Mall', which is a q-commerce solution that looks to provide a countrywide logistics and e-commerce solution made accessible to all.
What we dive into:
- Hashim's advice for business leadership; 'the job of a CEO is to be everyone's assistant', 'there is no course or university degree that prepares you for general management'
- The competitiveness of the e-commerce/logistics market in the country; looking beyond urban areas to find new growth opportunities
- Hashim's key advice; 'fail, and fail often, failure is the best teacher, go out and experiment, don't get caught in the trap of analysis paralysis'
