My unique edge: a trader's perspective, since I once was one.Corporate and marketing communications are in my repertoire, as well. I am an exceptional collaborator and communicator of business priorities and brand, known for setting high expectations, bringing together diverse information and exceeding organizational goals; my attitude is more will-do than can-do. I build strong, lasting and productive relationships across business lines and hierarchies. And I am a relentless protector of corporate reputation.I also recognize the importance of visual engagement and have proved adept at curating website content to that end, e.g., composing concise ‘read me!’ summaries and complementing those with vivid images. I am dedicated to providing clients with an optimal user experience, and similarly dedicated to championing the causes of internal stakeholders.Equally critical, especially in financial services, is the need to ensure that communication is done within the bounds of what regulators allow. I add value in this respect as well by applying my knowledge of regulations in real-time approval and post-publication review processes.
