Steven Hunter
Steven Hunter is the CEO and co-founder of 9fin, an AI-native data and intelligence platform for the roughly $145 trillion global debt markets. A former leveraged finance banker at J.P. Morgan and investment executive at Babson Capital Management, he quit banking in 2016 to build the tool he wished he had, teaming with his university roommate Hussam El-Sheikh. In March 2026 the company raised $170 million in Series C funding at a $1.3 billion valuation, and now serves 300-plus of the world's leading credit institutions from offices in London, New York, Belfast, and Hong Kong.
