Description

Kent Collier is the CEO of Octus, the leading voice in data and intelligence for the credit markets.



It was exciting to sit down with Kent to hear about his role as an investor and how he saw an opportunity in the market to create something bigger with the way Wall Street accessed critical information.



Kent shares his experience on how they expanded from a single product to developing a full product roadmap, the tradeoffs of organic versus inorganic growth and why he is particularly excited about their recent acquisition of Sky Road,  a market-leading order management system.
We then discuss the importance of their rebranding, the current state of GenAI in the credit markets and why today’s CEO must also act as the Chief AI Officer.
