Guy Callaghan: From Olympic Swimmer to CEO of a Fintech
Description
In case you didnt know, the 2021 Tokyo Olympics are on. So it is timely we speak to someone who has been there and done that. They train very hard to be at the top of their chosen sport to represent their country at the ultimate sporting event. The level of discipline and determination is quiet frankly out of this world. Do these skills translate well after their days as an Olympian have past? This week we speak to Guy Callaghan about his story.
Guy represented New Zealand in the sport of Swimming for many years in the 1990s. He was part of their Olympic team to 1992 team to Barcelona and achieved Gold at the FINA SC World Champs in 1995. Everything was pointing to another place in the next Olympic games when the unthinkable happened, he failed to qualify! This was the beginning of his journey out of the pool (and New Zealand) and into another world that would eventually see him as Head of an exciting new SME Fintech in Australia called Banjo.
