As the pace of innovation continues to ramp up each year, the burden on tech companies to roll out novel ideas grows. With so many developers vying to create the next big thing, the speed of execution can be the difference between a great idea and a great company. Former Uber executive Niall Wass believes there will be another Facebook or Ebay in the coming years. He sits down with GLG in London to discuss technology as a catalyst for improvement and why Europe is the new breeding ground for tech entrepreneurs.

As an executive, Wass most recently served as SVP for Uber in EMEA and APAC from 2014 to 2015. In this role, he managed over 1,000 employees and oversaw the company's operations in more than 50 countries. During his tenure, Uber saw the percentage of rides taken internationally grow from single digits to more than 50%. Uber is now valued at more than $50 billion.
