In episode 24, GLEIF’s Clare Rowley and our host Oscar delve into the world of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) – what exactly is an LEI; the GLEIF’s role in ensuring the operation of the Global LEI System (GLEIS) and promoting LEI engagement; and the specific, quantifiable benefits that the global legal identifier can bring to the banking sector.

“Consumer protection, greater transparency in the supply chain, and the detection and prevention of fraud can be achieved only through full transparency of counterparties.”

Clare Rowley is the Head of Business Operations at the Global LEI Foundation. Prior to working with GLEIF, Ms. Rowley worked at the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation where she led technology initiatives improving bank resolution programs and contributed to research on subprime mortgages.
