Saxo Bank’s Kim Fournais reveals that passion, determination and team work are secrets to happiness in life
Saxo Bank, the multi-asset online trading and investment specialist, is launching an additional film as part of the saxocycling.com project featuring Saxo Bank’s two founders and CEOs. The additional film will run simultaneously with the Bank’s trading competition, Tourdetrading.com, designed to challenge margin traders.
Like the original films, which captured the spirit of Team Saxo-Tinkoff and took two accolades at the 2013 Telly Awards, this exclusive and intimate portrait of co-founder and co-CEO, Kim Fournais, is directed by Jim Piercy and shot by Fredrik Clement. In the film, Kim Fournais tell the story of Saxo Bank and share what is most important to him in his everyday work at Saxo Bank: “For me it boils down to execution, I am rather execution oriented – I want to see things happening.”
Strong passion and the will to constantly improve are both key factors according to Fournais, who also explains the importance of team work when building a successful and winning business. Kim Fournais concludes by sharing his favourite things: “My family makes me very happy; my work makes me happy; going out getting fresh air on a bicycle makes me happy – there are many things, I am a pretty happy guy!”
