Corundum Partners is an affiliate of Corundum Group. As the Chief Compliance Officer, I am tasked with ensuring that our private funds are properly registered in accordance with regulatory rules. This involves reviewing offering documents and agreements, coordinating and overseeing U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) examinations, and conducting on-site compliance audits. I am also responsible for ensuring that we meet all state and SEC filing requirements and serve as the point of contact for all regulatory bodies.

As part of my role, I oversee compliance with all U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations, ensuring our program is effective and efficient.

I oversee the compliance program for a trust company affiliated with Corundum Group that provides trust management services.

I provided support as a consultant with day-to-day operations and procedures. I would provide quarterly reviews of profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and bank accounts, as well as an analysis of potential business acquisitions. Additionally, I assisted in building out a successful structure for an Act 20/22 infrastructure.

I initially worked as the Client Account Service Manager for Accelerated Wealth. Over time, I gained valuable experience and credentials, which led to my quick promotion to the positions of Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Operations Officer. The firm initially focused on insurance before branching out as a Registered Investment Adviser (“RIA”). I was instrumental in developing and implementing the compliance program for the RIA. I am proud to say that I successfully guided our company and clients through a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy involving one of our alternative investments. I led two U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission audits, which were both successful. I streamlined our operations department to ensure better client reporting, allowing for tiered billing and billing in arrears. I also oversaw the trade desk, where I worked closely with my team to reduce trade errors continuously year over year. Lastly, I was responsible for employee training and management across various departments.

Lighthouse was a merger and acquisition deal that Accelerated Wealth completed. To support the transition, I was appointed Chief Operations Officer and Chief Compliance Officer for the first year and a half. I was instrumental in establishing an efficient compliance program and optimizing operational processes. In addition, I guided new team members and collaborated closely with the broker-dealer compliance department, assuming the firm's 401(k) program administrator role. Through this experience, I gained valuable insights into the importance of effective leadership and teamwork.
