25 for 25: Navigating Credit Crises: Lessons from Industry Veterans

Special Edition Podcast Mini Series: 25 for 25: E2

Hosts Winnie Cisar (Global Head of Strategy) and Zachary Griffiths, CFA (Head of US IG & Macro Strategy) are joined by Chris Snow (Global Head of Research), Pramod Shenoi (Head of Asia Pacific Research; Head of Financials, APAC), Brian Studioso (Head of Research, Europe) to discuss navigating credit crises.

The conversation explores how experience and disciplined analysis shape CreditSights’ response to market shocks - from the Global Financial Crisis and COVID-19, to policy-driven volatility. The team weighs speed-to-market versus quality, emphasizes management quality and disclosure, and examines liquidity dynamics (“sell what you can”). They discuss calling market bottoms by tracking cross-segment flows, maintaining risk/reward discipline when spreads are tight, and leveraging global client engagement and teamwork to build resilience and deliver trusted, actionable research.
