PayPal activated a rapid response effort that mobilized hundreds of millions of dollars within the first two months of the war in Ukraine breaking out.
How did they do it? And how can companies effectively plan for and respond to crises?
In this episode, EFG’s Alli Murphy is joined by Karen Little, PayPal’s Strategic Partnerships & Rapid Response Lead.
