Renee began her career as an Associate in the Banking and Asset Finance group at a major international law firm. She spent 8 years at a leading global financial institution, serving as head of their legal team for Fund Derivatives. During her time there, she built out the legal team, streamlined legal documentation, and revamped internal policies and procedures, reducing the need for external counsel and making transaction execution more efficient. This institution was known in the industry for its seamless, end-to-end approach to transaction negotiation and execution.
After the financial crisis and the wind down of the Fund Derivatives desk at her previous employer, Renee spent 5 years at another top-tier global bank, where she held several leadership roles, including Head of Legal for Domestic and International Lending (Private Banking), Head of Legal for Ultra High Net Worth Lending (Investment Banking and Capital Markets), and Head of Legal for Fund Linked Products (Global Banking). Renee then joined the Structured Finance team at a major financial institution, where she spent two years as a Senior Structurer in Fund Finance before moving to Trading as Global Head of Product Governance for Equities.
From 2022 until 2024 Renee worked as Counsel in the Fund Finance group at a major law firm in the fund finance space.
