He runs point-on discussions around investment mandates and restricted stock, public offerings, hedging, monetization, and more. Christian represents the Southeast Region on the Wealth Partners Council to provide input on ways to improve the platform and share his voice on other business development decisions of the Division. He draws from the richness of his capital markets background to drive business impact for the team.
Raised in diverse international settings, Christian developed strong relationship-building skills moving from country to country with his parents, who were part of the United States Diplomatic Corps.
