Stevens (pictured), will serve as a consultant and independent director to startup and established alternative investment groups, as well as serving as the head of European Business Development for Danesmead.
With over 14 years’ experience at Goldman Sachs both as an Executive Director in the Prime Brokerage Consulting group (with a focus on regulation, corporate governance & operational due diligence), and as head of Prime Brokerage Compliance EMEA, Emma has assisted hedge fund managers across a wide range of business and regulatory areas.
