Dee Hock – Visa Founder & CEO

Philosophies at the heart of Visa

The book “The Birth of the Chaordic Age” by Dee Hock was given to me by a mentor in 2000. Listen to the Dee Hock interview in 2021 by The Innovation Show with Aidan McCullen.

Visa Founder and CEO Dee Hock: One from Many: VISA and the Rise of Chaordic Organisation.

Dee Hock is notoriously private, this series is a unique opportunity to share how he built Visa and the philosophies at the heart of his work. This is part one of a multi-part miniseries on the life and philosophies of Visa founder and CEO Emeritus Dee Hock.


52 years ago, our guest foresaw and implemented the foundations for the world’s first trillion dollar organisation. Back then, Visa was little more than a set of unorthodox convictions about organisation slowly growing in the mind of a young corporate rebel.


Today, according to the Visa 2019 annual report, payments and cash volume for the year was a staggering $11.6 trillion dollars, transactions processed on Visa’s networks totalled $138.3 trillion dollars and the year saw some 3.4 billion Visa cards in operation.


He is the man who imagined this reality, who had a once-deemed-impossible vision 52 years ago, a vision which has become a concrete reality today. He is a man who has a different view on what the next 50 years can deliver, but that vision will require a radical shift in mindset for every single one of us.


It is such an immense honour to welcome the Founder and CEO Emeritus of Visa and author of the pioneering work “The Birth of the Chaordic Age” and its updated version “One from Many: VISA and the Rise of Chaordic Organization”, Dee Hock. deewhock.com
