His career includes leadership roles at Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and TD Bank, where his experience has encompassed global markets, derivatives, structural hedging, asset-liability management, liquidity and regulatory initiatives. He has led programs within a $1.4 trillion financial institution and previously built and led Deutsche Bank's Asia-Pacific commodities business, which generated more than $100 million in annual revenue.
