The countdown to YP Gold Coast’s 9th Annual Entrepreneurs Forum is officially on, and the speaker lineup just keeps getting better. We’re thrilled to reveal our next guest who brings fresh insights and a dynamic perspective to the stage.
Joining us on stage is Ian Cragg, a leader in the global payments industry and one of the sharpest minds in fintech today.
Ian is a Founder of Send Payments, a leading international payments specialist headquartered right here on the Gold Coast, with around 60 employees nationally. With over 15 years of experience across the UK and Australian markets, Ian saw an opportunity to shift the traditional approach to foreign exchange and co-founded Send in 2019.
The company has grown rapidly since then, helping move billions of dollars per year across more than 100 countries for enterprise clients, SMEs and (thanks to their integration with PEXA) more than 1,000 law firms nationally.
In 2024, Send Payments was recognised in the AFR Top 100 fastest growing companies and Deloitte’s Fast 50 technology companies, with a CAGR of 80%. They were also named one of AFR’s Best Places to Work, a testament to Ian’s advocacy for strong employee benefits, ESOP structures and his vocal support of the new non-compete legislation, where he was recently featured in the AFR.
Through Send, Ian also leads employee benefit offerings for major companies like Accenture, Qantas and Woolworths, bringing innovation, scale and heart to a traditionally rigid industry.
Join us Friday, 30 May 2025, 12:00 pm at The Island Glasshouse, for an afternoon of game-changing conversations, brilliant networking, and a deep dive into what it takes to grow something great on the Gold Coast (and beyond).
