So explain to me how that all works.

We need to take a quick break.

We'll be right back.

We're back with Alex Lintner, the CEO of Technology and Software Solutions at Experian.

Before the break, we had really just started digging into the company structure, which is really complicated as multinationals like this one tend to be.

So I really wanted to dig deeper into that org chart with Alex and see what it could tell us about what kind of company Experian really is.

How many people are at Experian overall?

23,000.

And how many are in your division?

I was going to say 4,000 direct reports is a little over the guidelines, I think.

And is that structured so it meets the needs of the regions or how does that work?

It does seem that whenever there's a technology shift, the push towards centralization appears.

We need to get a hold of this.

We need to understand how to use it.

Then we can spread it back out to the divisions.

I'm just curious.

You described yourself as a provider of backend solutions.

That's your job.

Your title is CEO.

Do you think of yourself as the CEO of an infrastructure provider inside of Experian?
