Kim Tieu began working remotely before the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to become the norm for many employees. However, prior to the pandemic, he struggled to see a clear career path in a remote working environment because he felt like he was on an island by himself, making it difficult to be included in company matters and to be recognized.

As remote working has become not only adopted but accepted in many companies, Tieu has seen the door open for remote employees like himself, showing that working from home doesn’t impact productivity. As an experienced credit analyst with a demonstrated history of working in the commercial finance industry, Tieu is highly skilled at reviewing and analyzing personal and business credit reports. Tieu utilizes his business development skills along with his analytical and market research experience to aid him in his small-ticket credit manager role with Dext Capital.

Tieu recently assisted the company in launching its working capital product, a project that took a great deal of collaboration. Tieu’s ethos as a colleague and leader supports such collaborative efforts, as Tieu says the best teammates communicate well and want to see their fellow teammates succeed. “I have a great team of credit analysts that I have the privilege of mentoring and sharing my knowledge to help them in their young careers,” Tieu says. “Along with their growth, I have been able to progress as a credit analyst by learning the world of equipment leasing from some great leaders. Being a great leader is not always wanting what is best for you but wanting what is best for others.”
