When I was living in Denmark and working at Experian, my boss’s boss was a rockstar, you would never hear Burak Kilicoglu ’s name mentioned without an associated compliment. And I wasn’t the only one to notice, so he was soon snapped up by Creditinfo to be their Director of Global Markets - a perfect-sounding guest for this show, right? Unfortunately, though I tried, I never managed to get Burak on…That’s how I introduced my episode with Paul Randall, CEO of Creditinfo but I’m pleased to say, it is no longer true. Because in this episode of HTLMTS, I’m sitting down with Burak himself to chat about data as a route to improved access to credit in emerging markets, about lending to SMEs, and about what it means to react quickly in volatile markets. Creditinfo can be found at https://creditinfo.com/ or, as Burak mentioned, if you want to start a conversation with one of the team, their contact info is here https://creditinfo.com/about-us/our-group-management/ They are also on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/creditinfo-group/ (from which you’ll find links to the individual country pages)The ESG data project he mentioned is explained in more detail here: https://chronicle.creditinfo.com/2022/10/24/creditinfo-launches-esg-data-platform/ You can learn more about myself, Brendan le Grange, on my LinkedIn page (feel free to connect). The show has its own page there, too, and is also present, but less active, on Instagram and Twitter using the @HTLMTS handle. My action-adventure novels are on Amazon, some versions even for free, and my work with ConfirmU and our gamified psychometric scores is at https://confirmu.com/ and on episode 24 of this very show https://www.howtolendmoneytostrangers.show/episodes/episode-24If you have any feedback, questions, or if you would like to participate in the show, please feel free to reach out to me via https://www.howtolendmoneytostrangers.show/contact-usOh, and if you’re in need of more banking podcasts, you can find related content at https://blog.feedspot.com/banking_podcasts/Regards,Brendan Hosted on Acast.
