What is the best way to learn and grow in a treasury role? In this episode of The Treasury Career Corner podcast, I speak with Jesper Nielsen-Terp, Treasury and Credit Risk Management Consultant and former Director, Head of Treasury and Credit Risk Management at Danske Commodities. He believes that one of the most important things you can do in your career is to always ask questions. We discuss how asking questions and getting advice can help you learn and make better decisions. We also talk about the best ways to implement new treasury systems, and why you should always be open to new processes.
