Vishal Marria
The Pioneer
The frontier and an appetite for the unknown, goes first.
Vishal Marria fits The Pioneer archetype because his leadership at Quantexa has centred on opening territory others had not mapped. After years in financial crime analytics at EY, he founded Quantexa in 2016 around contextual decision intelligence, a category the company itself helped define by connecting entity resolution with network analytics for banks, insurers and governments.
“Is by bringing that journey together around yes, I might show you fraud. It might look absolutely clear cut. But if you don't have a process in place to manage that fraud, then I'm showing you something that you don't really want to see.”
“What does this data actually mean? How can our clients trust that data? And how we go about doing that is by contextualizing data. If you're looking at a data stream or a data source in its isolation, it tells you something.”
“I think it's something I do already. But I think it's something I would like to do more. And creating more time in the day for thinking time. Comes a bit back that lonely time that you mentioned earlier, but getting more time in the day, and you know, it's business is busy. I'm also a husband, a dad, a son, a brother.”
“And what data means for Contexa is determination. You know, we need to be as a group determined to ensure we make a delivery without one of our clients. If that's delivering a program for one of the largest organizations on the planet between Thanksgiving and Christmas, it's about accountability. I'm accountable to my investors.”
