Leaders,
Ian Gilbert, SVP Enterprise at Airtm, breaks down how stablecoin payouts and user-owned wallets improve speed, satisfaction, and repeat work.
We cover what “Airtm Friendly” means in practice, how to integrate wallet options into legacy systems without adding friction, and what enterprises miss when they treat payouts as back-office operations.
Ian shares lessons from millions of users across the Global South, the realities of freelancers juggling multiple platforms, and Airtm’s path to serving 100 million digital entrepreneurs by 2030.
If you’re sourcing specialized talent, scaling data work, or trying to pay people in currency that holds value where they live, this one will help you pressure-test your payment stack and find fast, lasting wins.
