Sam Syed - Making it happen

Sam Syed is co-founder, CFO and COO at Capsll App. He joined Capsll after almost two decades of experience in the financial industry, starting as an equity broker in London where he advised clients on Commodities, Equities and FX. He rose to the role of Derivatives Trader and moved to Dubai in 2012, helping clients achieve their financial goals through all areas of wealth management and then moved to the United States working as a financial advisor at Northwestern Mutual, where he helped families secure the future they desired.

With a lifelong passion for history and philosophy, Sam is excited to be making a difference in people’s lives by utilising the Capsll App and helping them preserve memories of their legacy. In joining the Capsll team, Sam is “coming home” and excited to be working for the purpose-driven company, a place where users can gather their once-scattered memories into digital time capsules that can be shared privately with full user control.

He splits his time between Denver, Colorado and Austin, Texas with his wife, Lauren. He and Lauren have one daughter, with another on the way. In his free time, Sam enjoys traveling, mountain climbing, and has an appreciation for opera and art. In this podcast:

• Sam talks about how the problems he faced as a child helped him build his resilience.

• The challenge of building a successful financial career in Dubai and New York
