Director - Corporate Development & Investor Relations

Director, Corporate Development and Investor Relations

A spinoff from OakNorth Bank, at OakNorth Credit Intelligence (ONCI) we are building a SaaS platform which transforms commercial lending by helping banks build deeper relationships with their clients, open new, more profitable opportunities, whilst delivering credit decisions up to ten times faster than traditional methods, with lower risk and greater efficiency.

This came as a result of our realisation that despite small and medium sized companies (SMEs) being a powerful force in the economy, many of them find it difficult to raise capital during critical stages of their company growth. Traditional commercial lending is highly rigid often making them misaligned with a company’s requirements. We aim to solve this problem at ONCI.
