In this episode of The Valisights Podcast, host Albert Ramos sits down with Alice Fu, National Account Manager at Corpay, global payments expert, commercial real estate investor, and advocate for empowering underrepresented entrepreneurs.

Alice’s career spans over a decade in financial services, software, and private equity — with a unique perspective from operating her own real estate portfolio in Toronto and investing in women-owned businesses through SheEO / Coralus. She’s seen the global economy from every angle — and knows exactly what it takes to scale across borders without losing control of margins or operational clarity.

In this episode, they cover:

  • How businesses can rethink FX and global cash management

  • Protecting margins in a volatile global economy

  • The rise of platforms like Corpay in automating and scaling global finance

  • What leaders often miss when expanding internationally

  • The mindset shift needed to scale smarter, not harder


If you’re a CFO, operator, or founder navigating cross-border growth — this episode will change the way you think about international finance strategy.
