- FRex 9y agoThe interim CEO is not a complete newcomer though, he was in Equifax since April 2010[0] and is former head of the company’s Asia-Pacific business[0]. And considering the huge controversy around the data, it being their main/sole business and the fact it made his predecessor step down he should take a bit more interest than random journalists and randoms online to understand crystal clear what's going on in there, especially when preparing to go to a hearing in Congress to get drilled about it. Then there's this gem [0]: "Barros also led the company’s U.S. Information Solutions (USIS) business, which includes U.S.-based services that provide businesses with consumer and commercial information and insights related to areas of risk management, identity and fraud, marketing and a variety of industry-specific solutions."
