What a great way to kick-off the podcast!
For our first episode I'm joined by Valentina Kristensen, Director of Growth & Communications at Oaknorth.
Valentina was one of those lucky few who found themselves at university amidst the global financial crisis in 2007/2008, trying to figure out what path she could take after graduating. After witnessing the effect of the financial downturn she decided that she wanted to bring the trust back into banking - she has been a resounding success in the pursuit of that goal. From being a modest start-up when she joined Oaknorth, they are now a business of over 600 staff globally and are set for continued stellar success!
I'm delighted to have shared the mic with Valentina, who shared some great insight into her career, the success of Oaknorth and how she sees the sector evolving.
