In collaboration with SEON, The Ortus Club recently gathered senior risk and compliance leaders in Manila for a hands-on session on tackling today’s fast-moving fraud and credit challenges. The evening explored how teams can move beyond traditional checklists and design smarter, unified approaches to fraud, credit, and compliance, while ensuring a unique customer experience.
At the Garden Pavilion of the Grand Hyatt Manila, senior risk and compliance leaders from leading fintechs, lenders, and financial institutions came together to tackle today’s toughest fraud challenges. From synthetic identities to siloed teams, the discussion underscored the need for smarter, data-driven strategies that cut losses, improve credit decisions, and keep growth on track.
Guests were welcomed with SEON-branded tumblers, notepads, and pens designed to capture key takeaways. Floral details softened the setting, while the Pavilion’s garden later set the scene for cocktails and open-air networking under the city lights.
Sam Shrager, CMO of BCB Group, joined us for this edition of CMO Chats to explore the evolving role of marketing leadership. She shared her vision of the modern marketer as an Integrator, one who harmonises brand, sales, product, and compliance across the organisation.
In our conversation, Sam discussed how strong alignment between marketing and sales creates real business impact, and how strategy-driven events now deliver measurable ROI. She also highlighted the foundational role of CRM hygiene, and the way AI serves as a creative catalyst "a starter for ten" rather than a replacement for human ingenuity.
