Guy Thompson
Credit Risk Manager EMEA & China: Sun Chemical
Guy Thompson studied Scandinavian Studies & Linguistics at University which, by his own admission, prepared him fully for a career as an underpaid academic. As this didn’t fit his lifestyle aspirations, he became an accountant!
It became clear early in his career that cash was the lifeblood of the business. You can have the best products, have huge sales volumes with eye-wateringly large margins but if the customers do not pay, then you quickly go bust – an interest in Trade Working Capital was born and led him to focus on Credit & Collections, something he has now been doing for nearly 30 years, latterly with SunChemical Group where he has been Head of Credit Risk EMEA & APAC for 15 years. Sun Chemical has partnered with CreditSafe for over 10 years and were one of the first Companies to embrace the concept of combining credit data directly into their SAP system using the CreditSafe Connect tool. Guy lives near Frankfurt, Germany with his wife, 2 of his 3 children and one crazy dog.
