September 10, 2014, Sheila managed Elizabeth directly

Elizabeth and I worked together for 11 years; during that time she assisted me tremendously in every aspect of the investment custody business. She is very strong in the following disciplines: Tax Reporting; Relationship Management, New Business Vetting/ Acceptance; Compliance; Fee Calculation. She also provided support to all AVPs responsible for divisions within the custody department; Cash Management, Corporate Actions; Settlements and Reconciliations. She is detailed orientated and masters new tasks within a very short timeframe. A self-starter who earned the respect of clients and managers alike for her tenacity and ability to resolve issues.

ALLISON BAILLIE

AVP Financial Crime Compliance at HSBC Commercial Banking

August 7, 2014, Allison was senior to Elizabeth but didn’t manage directly

I worked with Elizabeth for a number of years at Butterfield Bank. I dealt with her on a regular basis regarding Know Your Customer (KYC) processes and suspicious activity reporting. I always found Elizabeth to be professional, diligent and committed to protecting the Bank. The KYC she performed was detailed and thorough and her suspicious activity analysis was sharp and included well educated reports. I would highly recommend Elizabeth in the field of Compliance.
