Kevin Tan, currently Executive Director Europcar has a fascinating background. Since graduating UC Berkeley he joined the family business, Wawasan TKH, where he built his business chops where he was eventually able to buyout a subsidiary of the family business for his own, the Europcar Franchise for Malaysia and Thailand. Previous to Covid, due to ride hailing and travel, the car rental business has been booming. In this episode we discuss the dynamics of family business from learning how to innovate in a family business structure, how to navigate complex family relationships along with succession planning and more. Later in the episode we go much deeper into the world of car rentals and how Kevin was yet again forced to innovate and pivot the business in these trying times. If you want to learn about the future of travel and more go ahead and listen!
