Guest: Mohsin Siddiqui, Group CEO, Wahed

Having surpassed $1 billion in assets under management and serving nearly 450,000 customers globally, Wahed is a key player in the Islamic wealth tech space. But as the company scales, how does its leadership team avoid common missteps while staying true to its core mission?

Group CEO Mohsin Siddiqui discusses his role as the operator tasked with taking the company to the next level, their strategy of making "fewer, deeper strategic bets," and their expansion into new products like fractional real estate and active ETFs.

We discuss:

  • The playbook for scaling from a $10M to a $100M revenue target.

  • How they maintain an "unbelievably low" customer acquisition cost.

  • Their expansion into new asset classes like fractional real estate.

  • Navigating the crucial founder-to-CEO leadership transition.

  • Their experience working with the Malaysian SC in a regulatory sandbox.
