Mike Mather
Mike Mather read for a Joint Honours degree in Exercise Physiology and Economic Geography at Brunel University, London, before entering the European financial markets. Over the following decade, working for S&P and then Morgan Stanley, he delivered data solutions into the trading rooms of investment banks across the continent.
In the early 2000s, he moved into the internet and software. He built businesses selling enterprise data management solutions to mid-sized and large organisations, then led a software firm whose data virtualisation product built a strong position in enterprise data asset management and continues to do so.
Traust Risk grew from this background. The firm works across risk measurement, monitoring and mitigation, supporting lenders, insurers and borrowers through the full credit lifecycle. Alongside this sits Mike’s sustained focus on Data as an Asset: securing it, managing it, and building the analytics and controls around it that give every party an accurate picture of their position. The objective is simple: loans should be repaid, and that outcome depends on the underlying risk being properly understood and managed from the outset.
