Jodie Bedoya
Director
Jodie Bedoya is Founder and Director of eMatrix, which she began in 2009. With over 25 years experience in the credit and collections industry, Jodie is one of Australia’s leading debt collection specialists.
With her beginnings in a global finance organisation, Jodie moved on to hold key executive, operational and training management roles, in debt collection, debt purchase and insurance recoveries organisations, including Chief Executive Officer of Recoveries Corporation Limited. In 2006, she was a finalist in the Australian Financial Review BOSS Magazine’s ‘Young Executive of the Year’ awards.
Understanding that a collections conversation is a skill most people don’t have naturally, Jodie identified a disconnect between collection staff and their customers. From this eMatrix was formed and a training platform developed to assist organisations make sense of the balance between working with customers who are experiencing financial difficulty and the need to collect money owed.
