Entrepreneur 101 is here to help aspiring and new entrepreneurs figure out how to navigate the early stages of starting a business. It can be challenging, daunting, scary … but also incredible, empowering and life-changing. When you work for yourself, especially in something that you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. You may work hard, but it probably won’t feel like work!

This week’s guest is Ken O’Brien. He’s been the COO of the International business unit (at GAIN Capital/Forex.com) and more recently a Deputy Chief Experience Officer at Saxo Bank in London. Ken is adept at building efficient infrastructure and scalability for organizations in hyper-growth mode. He was instrumental in transitioning GAIN Capital from a private startup, with less than $25M in revenue, to an NYSE publicly traded industry leader earning $200M+ in revenue.
