Hishem Azzouz argues that company culture is what matters most as a business grows. Keep work fun, celebrate wins, stay entrepreneurial, and let people take risks even as you scale.

Yes, data is super important. Yes, finance is super important. Yes, we want to grow and mature the business, but we need to keep the fun there. And what I don't want to do, and what we're really conscious of, is we don't want to lose sight of that as we're scaling and growing the company, where it's just too serious. We don't have a laugh and a joke. We don't celebrate the wins properly. That isn't who we are. That's never what we're going to be. So authentically to ourselves, we just love that entrepreneurial spirit. Pushing the boat out, taking risks, doing what other people may think are like crazy ideas and stupid ideas. Like, give it a go. Like, and we'll always promote that across the business. So just keeping the fun there, I think, is the really important thing.
