In this episode we are joined by Jenny Campbell, well known for appearing as a Dragon on the BBC’s Dragons Den. We speak to Jenny about her career, leadership tips, lessons learnt, how to overcome challenges and how to rise the ranks in business and her time on Dragons Den.Jenny talks to Jason about how she started her working life counting cash in a bank branch, she climbed through the ranks to become one of the few senior female bankers at the time in the UK. Following thirty years in the banking trade, Jenny left the corporate world in 2006 in pursuit of a new challenge - to turn around a failing cash machine business owned by RBS.Jenny launched a major operational restructure of Hanco ATM Systems, turning it from a business that was making a huge loss in competitive markets to a thriving, profitable entity operating across Europe. She later went on to buyout the business from RBS and become the majority shareholder- later relaunching it as YourCash Europe Ltd.The cash machine company quickly expanded to become a leading provider of ATMs to the retail market across Europe, handling millions of ATM transactions and processing billions in cash value. Ten years on from taking the business under her wing, Jenny sold YourCash in October 2016 to a company listed on the New York stock exchange.Previously awarded Business Woman of the Year, Jenny stays true to her favourite business motto- “live by corporate standards, but breathe like an entrepreneur”.- The Career Success Podcast with Jason Connolly
