Shaun in a few words
Experienced Investment Banking Operations' professional having managed front line support teams for several major Global Financial Institutions including Salomon Brothers, Bank of Tokyo Capital Markets and Dresdner Kleinwort. This experience lead me to my most recent role at RBC where I was able to make a considerable contribution in the establishment and development of a team responsible for the processing and management of all Third Party trade execution costs for Capital Markets. This covered all aspects of data gathering, system configuration, process development and integration, reconciliation, cost allocation, payments, downstream reporting and the identification and realisation of significant cost savings. I have a strong track record of forming and managing stakeholder relationships having a natural ability to engage and communicate at all levels and although based in the London I would also happily consider any remote global opportunities
