The Gary Fowler | Dr. Holger Bartel Interview

SPECIAL GUEST

Dr. Holger Bartel
CEO and founder of RealRate
Dr. Holger Bartel is CEO and founder of RealRate. Holger is a serial entrepreneur, having previously founded several fintech companies. His experience includes the position of an appointed actuary in a big German insurance group.

Holger received his Ph.D. in Statistics. Based on his research he founded several fintech companies, driven by changing markets deploying new technology.

It was during his time as an appointed actuary in the insurance industry that he engaged key rating agencies, where he came to understand the shortcomings and challenges needed to revolutionize the insurance rating industry.

RealRate is a rating agency deploying Explainable AI (XAI) to create fair, unbiased, and ethical company ratings. RealRate avoids the ‘black box’ effect by making the AI reasoning transparent.

Tools include colored causal graphs to highlight the real underlying sources of financial strength, making the results quickly and easily understood – eliminating the large amount of time required to read through detailed annual reports containing hundreds of pages.
