Rob Khazzam is the Co-Founder and CEO of Float, a Canadian fintech company that offers expense software and corporate spending cards. Before founding Float, Khazzam held leadership roles at other companies, including serving as the General Manager at Uber, first across Central Europe and then in Canada. At Uber, Khazzam experienced the pain points of corporate expenses and reimbursements, which inspired him to start Float to address those issues, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses. Khazzam has emphasized Float's "customer obsession" approach, where the company focuses on understanding customer needs and building products that solve their pain points, such as improving receipt collection and compliance. Under Khazzam's leadership, Float has built a diverse team with backgrounds from various industries, including private equity, Shopify, and Uber, to bring different perspectives and expertise to the company. Khazzam believes that being "relentlessly customer obsessed" is key to Float's long-term success, as the company exists solely to serve its customers better than anyone else in the market. Khazzam has been featured in media outlets, such as the BBC, where he discussed Float's approach to building the right products by focusing on customer needs and feedback.
