The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in a series of fundamental challenges to the U.S. economy. Like the great financial crisis of 2007-08, it has reshaped the landscape of consumer lending, but in a very different way. During the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals have curtailed their spending amid layoffs, while the federal government has injected billions of dollars back into the economy in the form of stimulus checks. Ecommerce was a key beneficiary, and it looks like newly established purchase pathways are here to stay.

In this episode, we discuss COVID-19 Recovery Opportunities in Consumer Lending with our panel of expert consultants. We hear from Robert Haslehurst, Managing Director with a focus within LEK’s Retail and Consumer Products practices. Also, Peter Ward, an LEK Partner focused on corporate strategy development who has worked on a diverse set of consulting projects across the technology, financial service, and consumer product industries.
