Highlights:Assuming ownership of a very demanding multi billion dollar client, where little cross-training or learning time was available. Not only did I rise to the occasion, I took that challenge and ran with it; by improving both client service by meeting all deadlines and expected standards, but by also enhancing internal controls and building knowledge internally, to such a level that a client once close to leaving not only stayed with the company but is requesting I manage new funds with AUM of approximately $1 billion.
