Joel Perlman is the Co-founder and Senior Managing Partner of OakNorth, the leading fintech business focused on transforming how entrepreneurs grow their businesses by providing them with access to much-needed credit and other banking services from a partner who understands their business. He started his first business, Copal Partners, a financial research company, in 2002 with just $60k. Over 12 years, he and his Co-founder, Rishi Khosla, scaled it to a 3,000-employee organization across 13 markets, before selling it to Moody’s Corporation (NYSE: MCO) in 2014. They then set out to build their second business – OakNorth, a leading fintech neobank.
Joel grew up in Bogota, Colombia. He began his career as a Consultant at McKinsey & Company and has degrees from the London School of Economics and Georgetown University.
