What's Inside the Black Box?

A podcast for Searchers and the EtA community to demystify being a CEO with Australian debt requirements.

Through my experiences of a career so far in Banking, Consulting and Debt Advisory, I have found there to be a significant conceptual gap in the understanding of how banks and lenders work at different levels of the market and what to consider in being a CEO or board member for the first time. 

In support of the ETA community and the upcoming ETA forum this year, I’ve asked some of my colleagues to help me explain some of the concepts which will help searchers and first-time CEO navigate the Australian SME lending market and what to consider in stepping into the CEO role. 

In general, these conversations are intended to provide insight into how to approach topics, but as always, there are exceptions to every rule. The most significant commonality to all topics covered is that unpredictability will often be due to a human element – and therefore understanding people's roles and relationships matters the most.
