In addition, Zacharella will track and improve the product specification process as well as manage all input from the company’s board of advisors, customers and key industry influencers.
“The unprecedented demand for our leading edge products and services has necessitated that we expand our team,” stated HazelTree CEO Stephen Casner, “and John Zacharella is a very important addition. He understands Treasury from the inside out, and is a very gifted problem-solver. HazelTree clients will benefit from his expertise, and I have no doubt that they will view him as a critical asset to the full optimization of their Treasury function.”
Zacharella added "HazelTree is a gamechanger for hedge funds…this company is rewriting the book on Treasury and I want to be part of the story. I am thrilled to be joining the team because I believe HazelTree's Treasury Suite will change the way all hedge funds manage their treasury function and facilitate their processes.”
