27: Meet Izzy Chilcott, Professional WNBL Player and Director and Fund Manager at Centuria Bass Credit


Listen Later

From scoring three-pointers at the University of San Diego to leading major real estate credit strategies as Director at Centuria Bass Credit, Izzy Chilcott's journey demonstrates how elite sporting mindsets create exceptional business outcomes.

Izzy's basketball career took her from the Gold Coast to college basketball in the U.S.A, then through a decade in Australia's WNBL, culminating in a championship with the Melbourne Boomers in 2022 – her final professional game. Unlike many athletes, Izzy maintained a parallel finance career throughout, providing a seamless transition when she hung up her basketball shoes. This dual-career approach, while challenging, built exceptional  resilience, discipline, and adaptability - qualities that now underpin her success in finance. 

At Centuria Bass Credit, Izzy leads a team providing non-bank lending solutions for commercial real estate developers. Her funds offer something traditional banks can't – speed and flexibility worth paying premium rates for. 

The parallels between basketball and finance are striking – teamwork, performing under pressure, and maintaining high standards translate directly between court and boardroom.
