Description

What happens when three Certified Mortgage Bankers (CMBs) meet in one of the world's most historic cities?

I'm joined by SuSheila Dhillon, Alan Fowler, and Brian Handal to revisit their international project in Cairo. Between 2005 and 2010, they were tasked with helping build a modern housing finance system from the ground up. But right in the middle of their mission, the 2008 global financial crisis presented an entirely new set of challenges.

They share their story of navigating the fallout, managing cross-cultural teams under pressure, and the practical lessons learned from pioneering a market during a period of global instability.
