Although Cardano is 20 years old, we still retain a strong sense that we are pioneers, figuring out better ways to meet our clients’ needs and how best to organise ourselves to achieve this. This entrepreneurial spirit is closely linked to our emphasis on education and development. We see our industry as constantly evolving and we, both Cardano the firm and Cardano the employees, need to be learning, evolving and adapting to be commercially successful. We aren’t afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and take pride in creating new and innovative ways to solve old problems.
