Cato Syversen is CEO of the Creditsafe Group, the world’s most used supplier of on-line company credit reports. Born in Oslo, Cato moved to the UK in 2000 to set up Creditsafe’s UK operation after a successful background in Norway’s largest credit referencing business. Cato oversaw the company’s subsequent re-location to South Wales and its rapid growth to prominence in the UK market and across the rest of Europe as he launched new operations in France, Ireland, Holland, Germany and Belgium. In the last 4 years he has overseen further expansion with launches into the USA Italy and now Japan. Passionate about Creditsafe, its past and its future Cato is a dynamic sales leader and story-teller and never happier than when presenting to an eager sales force. Determined to build a working environment where staff come to work on a Monday morning not because they have to but because they want to, his vision is being rewarded by Creditsafe’s continued inclusion in the Sunday Times “100 Best Companies To Work For”. Cato lives in the heart of Cardiff with his wife and three children and has taken Cardiff City to his heart as well as many other aspects of the British lifestyle!
