A 7-part micro-learning series for high-growth finance teams

Foreign exchange risk is no longer a “big-company problem.” As your business scales across borders, FX volatility begins to influence cash flow, forecasting accuracy, unit economics, pricing strategy, and even investor confidence.

FX 101 gives your team the foundational knowledge to understand, communicate, and manage FX risk with clarity - without needing to be a market expert.

Led by Alex Bayle, a seasoned FX practitioner with 20+ years of corporate FX experience, this 7-part video series breaks down the core concepts every modern finance team needs. Each video is 3–5 minutes, sharp, and immediately actionable.
