PODCAST | Stepping into the Spotlight: Owning Your Treasury Story with Mike Richards - Trade Treasury Payments

You’ve heard the phrase “just doing my job” – but what if that job is saving your company millions, streamlining global bank structures, or single-handedly holding together the entire liquidity strategy with nothing more than caffeine and spreadsheets?

In this special episode of Treasury Storyteller, Eleanor is joined by the one and only Mike Richards – CEO of The Treasury Recruitment Company, host of the Treasury Career Corner podcast, and, whether he admits it or not, the Godfather of Treasury Recruiting!

Together, they dive into the overlooked art of personal storytelling in treasury, why so many treasurers shy away from the spotlight and how to sharpen your personal narrative.
This episode is packed with Mike’s trademark punchy insights, practical tips, and a lot of heart. Listen in to hear:
