Opalesque Industry Update - Hazeltree, a provider of integrated buy-side treasury management solutions, has announced that it has expanded its management team by hiring client service veteran, Ayman Sakr, to lead its worldwide client service organization.

As a client service executive, he oversaw solution implementation and support for a range of alternative investment clients, including hedge fund managers, asset managers, fund administrators, and prime brokers.

“Our industry is focused on effectively managing their counterparties with efficient treasury solutions to ensure win-win relationships with each of them, while minimizing risk and exposure,” said Sameer Shalaby, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hazeltree. “Ayman is the exceptional leader who will ensure that we deliver service and satisfaction levels that surpass client expectations, and sustain client service excellence as we scale our organization and client base globally.”

He played a key role in building Paladyne's client base in hedge funds, fund administrators, and prime brokers. Under his leadership, Paladyne’s global client delivery team grew to over 150 people in the USA, Europe and Asia Pacific, and was widely recognized in the industry as a leader in client responsiveness and support quality.
