Jennifer Hill, Operations Manager
Raised in Long Island and after spending half of her college years in Pennsylvania and the remaining back in New York.
After a multi-year stent in real estate with a family member, and then a two-year advertising job representing a famous (and fun) rum – the Financial World of New York was calling.
Working her way up from a starter position in documentation at Deutsche Bank then on to Option settlement, finally to end up at the High Net Worth phone bank (AKA High Maintenance Desk) – after six years a move was in the cards.
Ten years at HSBC in product control and dealing with the great financial crisis first hand, the two hours each way commute was too much, and a move to Dallas were in the cards.
With a spouse that formerly was a professional baseball player, now a fireman for an area town, Dallas is the new home of four years.
