Curious how the Moody’s Analytics KYC solution originated? Don't miss the incorporation of Kompany into the Moody’s family. The strategic acquisition of Kompany has proven a win-win opportunity. From a business concept sketched on a tennis ball (yes, a tennis ball) to real-time entity verification from government registers across the globe merged with powerful datasets. In this episode, host Alex Pillow is joined by Johanna Konrad, former COO of Kompany, now heading this line at Moody’s Analytics KYC as Managing Director; and Peter Bainbridge-Clayton, co-founder and former CTO of Kompany, who is now Senior Director for software engineering in Moody’s Analytics KYC. This important chapter in the Moody’s Analytics journey highlights: the challenges of creating a scalable data solution when aggregating information from vastly differing jurisdictions; the not-so-simple task of entity verification; building a skilled team to tackle specialized needs; the added benefit of real-time data to keep up with rapidly evolving legislation; digitalizing onboarding processes; and how the powerful integration of Kompany can continue to propel Moody’s Analytics KYC solutions going forward.
