Jeff is a senior and seasoned industry executive, and we are delighted to welcome him back to Butterfield Fulcrum, where he will be responsible for further strengthening our client relationships and our industry presence, says Glenn Henderson, CEO of Butterfield Fulcrum. With Jeffs return our focus will be to strengthen our middle-office offering as part of our whole services solution. Jeff brings extensive experience with full-service client solutions both for fund administration and the alternative asset management sector that will be of immediate benefit to our clients.
Strauss adds: Butterfield Fulcrum is poised to build on its reputation as a leading independent fund administrator, and I am extremely pleased to be rejoining the team to help lead that effort. This senior management team has many years of joint experience, and under Glenns leadership we are again directing all of our efforts to providing our clients with an unrivalled full-service fund administration service model.
