ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Weeks after becoming Finance Director of Stansted Airport, COVID cut its daily passengers from over 100,000 to just over 300.
James Richardson, now CFO of NASDAQ-listed Inspired Entertainment, helped raise nearly £1bn to keep the business going.
It wasn’t his first crisis. In thirty years of finance across corporate finance, banking, payments, airports and gambling, James has been through the dot-com crash, the banking crisis, the regulation of payday lending and a pandemic.
In this episode of Bets and Balance Sheets, host Vasco Vaz Rodrigues talks to James about his route into gambling, how he makes great things happen in tough environments, and what challenge he's looking for from his next role.
Bets and Balance Sheets is the podcast where we interview the finance leaders running the biggest gambling companies — the real, behind-the-scenes stories of CFOs building, breaking, and rebuilding these businesses.
