First Boots: Scaling Across Borders Panel

First Boots, in partnership with Frontline Ventures and Airwallex, is excited to bring together a small group of operators for an evening focused on what it really takes to scale internationally.
Hosted at Airwallex’s new Fitzrovia office, this event will feature a candid conversation with leaders who have been on the ground building and scaling across EMEA at different stages, from Series C to public companies.
Panelists
Christos Chamberlain, Head of EMEA at Airwallex
Kathleen Hartigan, Head of EMEA at Github
Keith Grose, Head of UK at Coinbase
Moderator
Ruth Sheridan, Principal at Frontline Ventures
The discussion will explore lessons from launching and growing in new markets: what works, what breaks, and how the role of the “first boots on the ground” evolves as companies scale.
Expect an intimate, operator-heavy room with senior leaders and "first boots on the ground" from top scale-ups launching London offices.
