US-based software company Hazeltree has appointed Scott Metro as chief information security officer.

Metro will focus on developing and leading Hazeltree’s information security programme and securing comprehensive industry-endorsed certifications for its platform.

Based in New York, Metro will report to Hazeltree chief technology officer Richard Winter.

Metro brings more than 25 years of experience in implementing secure processes and systems while leveraging emerging technology.

Previously a partner at PwC, Metro led the Financial Services Trust and Transparency Solutions practice for the US.

His group was responsible for performing independent controls attestations, such as SOC 1 and SOC 2, for some of the largest financial institutions in the US.

Stephanie Miller, CEO of Hazeltree says: “With increased regulation around cybersecurity and cyber-attacks on the rise, having an expert like Scott in this space will bolster our first line of defence, in addition to becoming a critical piece of our company’s long-term success.”

Commenting on his appointment, Metro adds: “Cybersecurity is only becoming more important today, especially in the asset management space, and alternatives are no exception.

“Hazeltree provides alternative asset managers with a robust, purpose-built platform for liquidity management and the security and continuity of these systems are nothing short of critical.”
