Bio
Orlando Bush
I'm the Mgr. of Operations at Prospera Credit Union and engaged with Lee and Equifax many times over the years. Lee is a highly analytical person and was able to solve complex algorithms for our Credit Union in order for us to create a lower risk profile for our lending matrixes. I can't recall a time when Lee wasn't able to provide the information I required in a timely manner. Look forward to working with Lee in the future.

I worked with Lee as our Senior Consultant at Equifax for more than 2 years in my position of Director Account Management at Mogo. During this time, he provided invaluable assistance and insight on a host of analytical and data orientated projects. Always responsive and able to view any problem at both a granular and larger picture level, Lee was able to align solutions that stuck based on his extensive product and data knowledge. Although I no longer work directly with Lee he has remained someone I keep in touch with. His interest in data, finance and the economy mean he is always on top of emerging trends and he is simply someone its easy to sit and chat with. Lee is an asset to Equifax and to anyone with whom he works.
