The Searchers Guide to working with Debt
A podcast for Searchers and the EtA community to demystify being a CEO working 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.
Season 1: What's inside the Black Box?
In support of the ETA community and the ETA forum, I’ve asked some of my colleagues to help me explain some of the concepts that will help searchers and first-time CEO navigate the Australian SME lending market and what to consider in stepping into the CEO role.
Season 2: How to Navigate Business Turbulence; panel introductions
I will be hosting a panel discussion with a number of experienced finance professionals seeking their views on how debt providers Navigate Business Turbulence.
Ahead of the ETA forum, we will connect with each member of the panel and provide some background and context to who will be part of the group.
