In This Episode In this week's episode of Breaking Banks we bring you the next feature in our Killing It series as host Jason Henrichs connects with Ohad Samet, Co-Founder and CEO of TrueAccord. Several calls from unknown numbers and one unpleasant conversation about a forgotten credit card with a relatively small balance was the impetus for Ohad to reimagine the debt collection process and the genesis of TrueAccord. Prior experience as the Chief Risk Officer of Klarna, a European payments company, and experience with other start-ups in the area of risk and analytics served him well. Development is an upward spiral and founding a company (companies actually) involves a lot of self-expression and is often less about the money and more about what you want to do. At some point, though, you may need to fire yourself. Another candid and enlightening conversation in the series with relevance for all.

Laura Marino, Chief Product Officer for TrueAccord, started her career in civil engineering developing software for reservoir operations and hydrologic simulation. When she realized she truly wanted to work in software, she went back to school, got her Master's degree in management, science, and engineering and has since managed 20 different products across all stages and led product teams in B2B software for more than 20 years. Laura knew she enjoyed working at companies in the growth stage, but she realized she also wanted to work for a company with a social mission. That insight led her to TrueAccord, which uses artificial intelligence in debt collection. She started around the time COVID-19 hit, which further prompted her to think about how she can contribute more, especially to people who were suffering a lot through the pandemic. Laura has watched the role of product management evolve. When she started in the industry, product management fell under marketing, or even engineering, but now she has seen it take off to a new level as people realize the role it plays. In this episode of People Driven Products, Laura shares insight into instilling the value of being customer-centric, how product management education is changing, and why it's better to think about a product manager as an orchestra director — or janitor.

"The most contrarian take I have is that there is value in working with consumers in debt." Here are a few stats for you: - The average US household as of November pays almost 9% of its income to debt - Total household debt reached $14.35 trillion this fall per the New York Fed - The average person in debt owes money to 4 different lenders The current process for debt collections  --  a highly sensitive, case-by-case, and often life-defining financial situation -- has not evolved much in the last 50 years. The process is still how most would imagine…a collections team is assigned a low-base salary and high-commission, and is tasked with harassing debtors multiple times a day with a one size fits all approach. This process is inflexible, stressful, and borderline inhumane as each person has unique financial needs. Enter Ohad Samet and TrueAccord. After honing his time at companies like Fraud Sciences (acquired by PayPal), Signifyd, and Klarna (as their CRO), Ohad recognized this enormous problem and the need for a better solution. Fast forward to 2020, TrueAccord has built a digital-first, ML-powered, humane debt collection agency that leads with empathy. TrueAccord's successes have been incredible, with collection rates 30–50% higher than industry averages and an NPS of 40 (astoundingly high for a debt collections agency, and higher than a lot of financial institutions). TA's impact on daily lives cannot be understated. One stat I loved - "85% of customers wouldn't have been able to repay their debt without the highly flexible payment plans we offer." In today's episode, Ohad comes on the show to discuss: - The different ways TrueAccord engages with the customer, and how that approach has shifted overtime thanks to Machine Learning - 3 questions about debt that he bets none of our listeners can answer - Why his HQ2 city, Kansas City, is a hidden talent and cost of living gem - The cruciality of mission-alignment in business and at TrueAccord (P.S. they're hiring!) - Navigating FinTech partnerships - A special "rapid-fire" question set …and much more.

Sheila Monroe, CEO of TrueAccord Corp, stops by the next episode of Clark Hill’s Credit Eco To Go to talk about the credit ecosystem from the consumer perspective. TrueAccord has been a disrupter in the accounts receivable management industry. Instead of viewing consumers as individual debtors, their approach has been to guide consumers through the life cycle in part by tailoring technology to customize outcomes as well as to build goodwill so consumers will ultimately succeed financially beyond the payment of a debt.

Ohad Samet is the Co-Founder and CEO of TrueAccord, a company using machine learning, behavioral economics and empathy to reimagine the debt collection process.

He served as Chief Risk Officer at Klarna for three years before founding TrueAccord. In this conversation, Ohad, Lex and I discuss the ability of machine learning to create empathetic customer experiences, AI’s ability to be creative, expectations about COVID-19’s impact on consumer borrowers and the economy as a whole, and TrueAccord’s performance vs. traditional solutions.

Vladimir Iglovikov graduated from university with a degree in theoretical physics, he moved to Silicon Valley in search of a data science role in the industry. This led him to his current position in Lyft’s autonomous vehicle division where he works on computer vision related applications. In the past few years, he has invested a lot of time in Machine Learning competitions leading to his title of Kaggle Grandmaster. In this episode, Vladimir explains how difficult it was to find work in Silicon Valley. He had harsh requirements for a salary, no one looked at his resume. Companies in Silicon Valley are willing to pay big bucks, but at the same time, they require the person to be skilled in software engineering, machine learning, and statistics. His biggest issue when applying for jobs was assuming that all people are similar to the people in academics. At his interviews, he felt no connection with the interviewers. After sending his resume to over 200 different companies, someone finally bit just before his visa expired. Vladimir worked at Bidgely for 8 months then moved to TrueAccord and eventually got his job at Lyft. Enjoy the show!

The lending industry has long been rewarded for growth. Less focus has been given to profitability and performance — particularly for venture-backed firms that are all about growth in underwriting. As a recession looms and as investors start demanding better returns on their deployed capital, some lenders are starting to get serious about collections. Ohad Samet has spent his career working on lending analytics — at a firm called FraudSciences, which got bought by Klarna. As the chief risk officer at the pay later lender, he became aware of how antiquated the debt collections industry was. Call centers, dialing for dollars, it just hadn't kept pace with the front end of the business. So, in 2013, he left and with two co-founders started TrueAccord, which is essentially a nearly-automated marketing and sales campaign for debt collection. Based on consumer data and data from the lender, it can determine who to call, what time to call, what communications channel — phone, text, email, chat and what message to use. It's a much better experience for consumers as TrueAccord is used by banks, debt buyers, and ecommerce companies.

This week, Brett and Breaking Banks were onstage with Antony Jenkins, CEO of 10x Future Technologies at the LendIt conference in NY! While we were at the conference, we decided to talk to some others that were making new waves in the lending space. We talked to Brock Blake, CEO of Lendio about their new “franchising” model to expand their reach in the US. We caught up with Christoph Reiche, CEO of iwoca about the affects of Brexit on the lending space for small business through the EU, and what kinds of data are proving useful to create new lending models. We chatted about the ideas of debt rehabilitation with Ohad Samet, from TrueAccord, and how machine learning and AI can help people fix their credit situations. Of course we talked with Peter Renton, who created the conference, and we wrap up by catching up with John Owens and Emmanuel Daniel! It was a full day at a great event! We want to thank the LendIt conference, Metro Multimedia, and all our guests!

Ohad Samet is truly a magician. He has one of the most interesting track records of anyone we've had on the show, he was an early employee at Fraud Sciences Corporation (started by a few israeli special forces) which was acquired by PayPal for $169 Million, worked at PayPal for a few years then started and sold his company, Analyzd to Klarna. Now he's looking for a third big win with his new company TrueAccord offering debt collection services to companies by innovating in an industry that hasn't changed in 30 years.
