Treasury & Capital Management

  • Provide oversight of bank, custodian, and clearing relationships.
  • Monitor capital adequacy and make recommendations for adjustments or capital infusions as necessary.
Leadership & Team Management

  • Foster a culture of accountability, compliance, and continuous improvement.
  • Work cross‑functionally with operations, compliance, and technology to enhance financial processes and systems.
