Conrad Ford, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Allica bank, has had what you might describe as an unconventional career path.
As the senior leader responsible for driving strategy at the UK's fastest growing fintech, careering rapidly into unicorn territory, Conrad is unashamedly unorthodox in his approach to his career and leadership. And the results speak for themselves.
In the first episode of The Financial Services Forum's new Influence and Insight Podcast, Conrad speaks to Forum editor, Alex Sword, about the overriding strategic concepts and theories that informed his time as the founder and CEO of Funding Options (since acquired by Tide), and at the helm of Allica Bank.
Plus, how scouring Reddit is his secret weapon in hiring elite talent. Say no more.
