  • The Realities of Finance for Deskless Workers
    Jul 20 2022

    COVERR CEO Kobina Ansah joins us this week to discuss the realities of finance for the deskless workforce, and how COVERR's program impacts this population.

    Kobina Ansah is the CEO of COVERR, the premier platform offering working capital customized for gig-economy workers. Evaluating alternative and traditional factors, COVERR provides gig-workers with capital to help stabilize earnings volatility, ongoing business expenses or small emergencies. Kobina is passionate about serving overlooked market segments that are not adequately served by traditional banks. While studying management for his undergraduate at Cornell as well as finance for his MBA at Wharton, Kobina identified the gig-economy as a market that needed a financial product to support their ongoing business needs. With over 10 years of experience in financial roles, underwriting over $1.0 BN of specialty lending products at Wells Fargo and creating one of the first US companies to offer a rewards credit card to international citizens without credit history at ModernLend, Kobina has continued to create financial products oriented towards market segments traditional banks do not address. In his free time, Kobina enjoys traveling and spending time watching foreign films.

  • How to Attract and Retain Deskless Workers with the Right Perks
    Jun 28 2022

    This week we are joined by Amy Spurling, CEO of Compt, as we discuss one of the top challenges employers are facing today; attracting and retaining talent.

    Amy Spurling is the Founder and CEO of Compt, HR software that enables companies to offer truly personalized employee perks that adapt to remote and hybrid employee needs while being fully tax compliant and inclusive for global teams. Amy's experience as CFO and COO managing HR and Finance at early and growth-stage companies prior to Compt drives her belief that companies and employees can achieve so much more together when employees are fully supported. Named Boston’s “CFO of the Year” by the Boston Business Journal in 2016, she is a seasoned executive with nearly 20 years of experience in leadership roles at venture-backed companies ranging from early start-up phase through high growth and ultimately exit. Over her career, she has closed over ten rounds of financing totaling more than $200M and managed two acquisitions to close. Amy received her Master of Business Administration from the Simmons School of Management and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Rochester.
