CIO Leadership: HMG Strategy’s Hunter Muller Opines on What Went Wrong at Silicon Valley Bank – and How to Avoid Similar Scenarios in the Future
Westport, CT — March 15, 2023 — HMG Strategy, the World’s #1 digital platform for enabling technology executives to reimagine the enterprise and reshape the business world, has just published fresh insights from Founder and CEO Hunter Muller analyzing what led to Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse along with steps that can be taken to avoid similar financial crises in the future.
In the article, published on March 14, Muller points to the inherent risks for banks that focus too narrowly on specialized markets such as tech startups and VCs and why a broader investment strategy is needed in today’s global economy.
“The SVB situation speaks less about the health of the financial system that it does about the downside of placing too many bets on a single aspect of the multi-faceted global economy,” says Muller, whose company HMG Strategy is a ‘super-connector’ for building strong global relationships and partnerships. The Silicon Valley Bank crisis “affirms my deep and sincere belief in the amazing power of relationships across markets, regions and industrial sectors.”
The article also highlights comments made by U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on HSBC’s takeover of SVB UK and how this demonstrates powerful leadership along with the need to take a global perspective. Muller also touches on the support of Silicon Valley Bank offered by 300+ venture capital firms, including HMG partners GTM Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Menlo Ventures.
Muller’s analysis is a reflection of the savvy perspectives offered by HMG Strategy’s Global Advisory Services, a unique set of peer-to-peer services which connect CIOs, CISOs and global business technology leaders with each other and keeps them up to speed on the latest leadership, business, technology, cultural and global macro-economic trends that are impacting businesses and members of the C-suite.
