Flex and the City - Great leadership in financial services
Flex and The City with Georges Bock - Episode 80
Some leadership journeys do not start with a perfect plan. They start with a decision to jump.
In this new episode of Flex and the City, I had the pleasure of speaking with Georges Bock, Founder and CEO of Investre S.A. and Moniflo.
Georges spent decades in a senior leadership role at a Big Four firm. Successful. Respected. Comfortable. But he realised that comfort is not where transformation happens. So he took a leap without certainty, but with a strong sense of purpose.
What followed was not just the creation of a company, but the beginning of a vision. To reimagine financial services as a more inclusive, transparent and human space. To help people not only grow their wealth, but also their freedom. To position money not as the problem, but as part of the solution.
What stood out most in our conversation was Georges' honesty. He spoke openly about courage, failure and resilience. He reminded us that every meaningful career, whether entrepreneurial or corporate, includes setbacks and difficult decisions. The real difference lies in how you respond. You reflect, you learn, and then you stand up. Every time.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why entrepreneurship starts with courage, not certainty
- How financial inclusion and sustainability belong together
- Why failure is not the opposite of success, but part of the journey
Georges' story is a powerful reminder that purpose and leadership are not titles. They are choices. They are acts of courage.
