What is your role at Petra?

Managing Director of Compliance

What makes working at Petra unique?

I believe our business model is what makes Petra unique. Petra’s coordinated service model creates efficiencies for our private fund clients as they can engage a single service provider for fund administration, operational support, compliance, and ESG. The Petra team works closely across all business units so that asset managers can focus on things that matter, such as sourcing deals and maintaining strong relationships with their investors.

What advice would you give someone starting their career in private fund compliance consulting?

For someone starting their career in private fund compliance consulting, I would recommend that they take time to learn how the relevant rules and regulations apply to asset managers. In addition, it is important to be proactive in keeping up with relevant SEC rule proposals, risk alerts, and priorities, as regulatory requirements and SEC focus areas are constantly changing.

What do you enjoy most about your job?

I enjoy assisting our private clients with developing and maintaining compliance programs that are customized to their business. In addition, making our clients feel at ease when it comes to complex regulatory matters is rewarding and allows the client to focus on the success of their business.

Tell us one fun fact about you.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling and spending my time outdoors hiking and kayaking.
