“I was a graduate analyst at an investment bank and realised that banking sucks,” says Matiss Ansviesulis, co-founder and chief executive of Creamfinance, a European fintech consumer lender that has recently launched operations in Latin America too. He says that the experience of working for a large, highly structured corporation as an employee convinced him of the need to be his own boss. “I always wanted to do something on my own. I spent one year at JPMorgan in London and during that time I was laying the foundations of my company,” adds Mr Ansviesulis.
He then moved back to his home country, Latvia, in 2012, launched Creamfinance and focused on the venture full time.
