Like the original films, which captured the spirit of Team Saxo-Tinkoff and took two accolades at the 2013 Telly Awards, this exclusive and intimate portrait of co-founder and co-CEO, Kim Fournais, is directed by Jim Piercy and shot by Fredrik Clement. In the film, Kim Fournais tells the story of Saxo Bank and shares what is most important to him in his everyday work at Saxo Bank: "For me it boils down to execution, I am rather execution oriented - I want to see things happening."

Strong passion and the will to constantly improve are both key factors according to Fournais, who also explains the importance of team work when building a successful and winning business. Kim Fournais concludes by sharing his favourite things: "My family makes me very happy; my work makes me happy; going out getting fresh air on a bicycle makes me happy - there are many things, I am a pretty happy guy!"
