We protect businesses and their growth." [sic].
CEO Andy Khawaja assembled a team of the world's finest payment industry professionals that continually innovate what they believe to be the finest payment engine available for e-commerce websites.
How do you become a better leader? If you are like me, sure bet, books, podcasts, and a few conferences are your paraphernalia. However, one of the best ways to gain insights is to ask those who have pushed boundaries and spring up with idealistic ways to progress their professional endeavours.
They keep their organizations fresh and exciting. They test the waters by making an 'in the clouds' move and tend to be pragmatic problem solvers. Lurching from one trial-and-error, they earn expertise and acumen, people and profit, along the way.
One such dynamic leader is Dr Andy Khawaja, the big wheel who has played an effectual role in laying the bedrock of Allied Wallet. Dr Khawaja is home to outcome-oriented and an ardent persona and set in his ways, a man of his words.
Passionately committed to turning over new leaf within the digital payments space, TGC's mainspring is his resolute commitment to bring about many more transformative changes and establishing benchmarks in the digital payment industry.

How has your experience in running the business been different on the global forefront? Was there any challenge?
Being a business owner in Asia is very different from being one in the Western World like the US or Europe. There are different laws, different regulations, but most of all the work ethic is different.
When I have meetings with top businessmen in Tokyo or Hong Kong or Singapore, I notice how hard they work, and that they don't stop until they achieve their goals. It's very inspiring. There are positive things to take away from every culture and their unique work ethic. I believe I can benefit from all of them.
How is Allied Wallet focusing on the fresh area, speaking of the payment industry?
We're focusing on the future of the payment industry – supporting more payment options globally, connecting more users, supporting more devices, supporting AR/VR, creating simpler options for money handling.

It's important for us to give back. We provide an unparalleled e-commerce solution that promotes success and entrepreneurship, but I don't think our responsibility ends there. We want to make a positive difference in communities all over the world and give people more opportunities to succeed.
