From leveraging software to bridge the access and affordability gap in education and healthcare, to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce that spans 14 global offices and more than 40 nationalities, we continue to commit to the ideal that being a force for good can be inextricably linked to generating growth and short-and long-term value.
Mike Massaro, CEO, Flywire
Flywire is a global organization of more than 950 FlyMates around the world representing approximately 40 nationalities and 35 spoken languages. We support more than 3,000 clients and millions of payers with digital payment options that optimize how they live and work. As a result, the principles of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) are inherent to how we operate, both internally and externally.
We also recognize that ESG factors have a material impact on our business and stakeholders, and we continue to deepen our commitment to the many areas most relevant to Flywire and our community.
