On the latest episode of the Freshly Squeezed Podcast, host Tom Lemmon sat down with another member of the PCS team, Harry Noutsos, the Chief Transformation Officer.

Of all the podcast guests so far, Harry has one of the longest and most varied careers, beginning his career as a research analyst at Credit Suisse before moving onto modelling. He then worked for Bank of America in structuring and origination, and held similar but more senior roles at Santander.

In 2011, he joined ING's treasury team to become Head of ABS and part of a core team responsible for over €100bn of the liquidity portfolio of the bank, before finally joining PCS in 2021.

With such a fascinating career journey, this episode explored the skills that Harry developed to become a leader in structured finance and how the attitude of continuous learning has shaped him as a person.

In the latest edition of the Freshly Squeezed Podcast, host Tom Lemmon sat down with two shipping experts: James Lightbourn, Founder of Cavalier Shipping, and Stefan Augustin, Head of Relationship Management EU at ARC Ratings.

Discussing shipping securitization on a structured finance podcast is somewhat unusual, not least because as of yet there isn’t really a shipping securitization market. There are precisely zero outstanding public transactions, and just a handful of private deals.

However, in this episode Lightbourn and Augustin explain why the prospect of shipping securitization could be crucial to the sector as it goes through the journey of refinancing and renovating the worldwide shipping fleet over the coming years.

In the latest episode of The Freshly Squeezed Podcast, host Tom Lemmon sat down with European securitization’s regulation and politics guru, Ian Bell, the CEO of PCS.

With reform of the securitization framework now well underway, there was lots to chew over including the EU Parliament’s ECON hearing on the reforms, where a number of trade associations put forward their views.

Bell also discussed the role PCS plays in the market as an educational force, bringing securitization conferences (or Symposia) to all corners of Europe.

And lastly, he spoke about why after over a decade he decided to make a career change away from law and into the world of rating agencies and policymaking.
