Samantha Esqulant

I am CEO at Global Investment Strategy UK Ltd, a prime brokerage based in the UK. We offer a range of services, including trade execution, retail-only execution, clearing and settlement, payment services, corporate finance and asset and investment management. We trade globally and operate 24/5. I started my career in finance in 2001, having previously worked at LCF Rothschild Group (today Edmond de Rothschild), Barclays Capital and The Bank of New York Mellon. I joined GIS in April 2013, and am responsible for devising, implementing and monitoring procedures and controls within the business in order to minimise and control the risks and exposures the firm and its clients' face.
