Podcast “How to Become a CEO: The Story of Britain’s Tech Success”, Quantexa
Every start-up has a history. Vishal Marrias is quite dramatic.
It began when he was just nine years old and was attacked by four men who held knives to his neck during a raid on his father’s cash and carry store.
That traumatic moment sparked his interest in crime, which led him to data analysis and eventually the founding of Quantexa – a tech company used by big banks and international law enforcement to “find the bad guys” and track down fraud, money laundering and more.
He built a $1.8 billion company in just seven years.
In this episode:
- How this violent incident sparked his interest in crime
- The problem he encountered when working with financial company data was one he had encountered while working at EY
- How data is used to fight financial crime and organized crime
- How he brought an untried startup into a room at a giant bank and won a major client against “some of the biggest tech companies in the world.”
- That nerve-wracking moment when the wifi on the plane went down just as he was being emailed the results of his presentation at HSBC
- How you, as an AI company, must consider that “people buy from people”
- How Quantexa went from ‘catching evil’ to ‘finding good’
